Dropship crash locations that need adjusting

Post by HKO20006 » 22 Aug 2018, 10:46

Edit: post the screenshots here

A thread for posting dropship crashing locations that are too good/too bad for marines/xeno and you think they need some adjusting.

For example (this is an old one and has been fixed)
► Show Spoiler
A recent example
The south entrance is isolated and surrounded by one tile choke points. The west is a one tile choke point (IIRC the holes in charlie prep near west entrance is opened up with C4s so the firing angle beforehand was even more restricted). The east are two tiles but marines need to rotate via req to reach it, however, xeno can spot this movement inside the dropship and meet the flanking force at the one tile req maint. So all three entrances are practically protected by one tile choke points.

The dropship just shouldn't crash into the hangar. I've no idea why that's a thing as it just makes dropship rushing more viable than it already is.

Though I can't get a picture, I also faintly recall that the dropship can rarely just not crash and land in the pad even if sent by the Queen.

Completely boxed in, needed to delete south walls IIRC.

Don't post them here, only post them in the gitlab ticket linked above.
