Ive noticed some contention around Multi-Z Almayer, a formal discussion may be in order.
Xenos do not like being shot from the roofless alamo / normandy.
The layout of upper mid decks is peak, most can agree, but its also comparatively empty and to a certain extent feels like a large sprawl of empty hallways, which is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing.
The limitations to building in upper mid decks prevent mt’s and req staff from doing anything fun on the upper mid decks. The construction limitations extend to creating computer consoles, window frames, airlocks, girders, and even deploying racks and inflatables.
The tunneling issue is real and leads to hijack delays, alternative viewpoint its peak that shipside staff can now effectively create new rooms, clf survs can burrow quietly through the walls, shipside xenos can perforate the hull and hide inside, and that the hijack crew can hold inside of walls like dwarves.
The large number of additional inaccessible decks which are mysterious and interesting. Could there be a means by which the crew could end up accessing these decks in conventional gameplay without causing further delays? Can we get a requisition’s dungeon crawler where we send cargo technician’s into the cargo Z level to find loot?
there’s a magical invisible roof to the landing pads now. pretty sure the middeck is a no build zone to prevent bunkers being made in the walls during hijack which i am alright with. i think there’s a general consensus hijack sucks and anything that delays should be streamlined? (pump turret removal, unanchored cades, etc.)
Dropships being roofless is just a side effect of Multi-Z Dropships not being here yet.
But yeah there should be the invisible blocker band-aid on that.
Mid Decks aren’t meant to be fun. And they’re not there so people can build their little forts in either.
Stuff should be done to stop people hiding in them though.
Yeah well it’s been moaned about before. It’s a key component of the gameplay loop.
Some people would rather see it die completely.
But I don’t think anything can stop the marines from default turtling.
well then wait, what IS the point of upper mid decks?
