Think about it. You’re crashing a heavy dropship into an armored warship with enough speed and force to pierce the plating. If you hit the reactor there’s no way that’s no going to cause catastrophic and significantly total damage. Making it so that the dropship hitting the Almayer can just cause a station explosion would have several key benefits to the CM gameplay loop
-Adds an interesting third factor to consider when deploying AA on the Marine end or risking a bold attack on engineering on the Xeno end.
-Give some breadcrumbs something to the “skip hijack” complainers by offering a way to slip through the round end
-It’s lore-friendly and frankly probably the most likely outcome of the alamo hitting the almayer
-It would be just so fucking funny.
I would ask for feedback and encourage discussion but my idea is already perfect so we don’t need it.
