Lower Level Medical Lockdown

Post by Reznoriam » 01 Feb 2016, 11:54

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
I would like to see medical bay have a lockdown for the lower level, either as a new lockdown button or as an extension of an existing button.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Currently when the medbay is locked down this closes both entrances from the lower level and the front entrance as well. If the lower level is lost, this would enable medbay to close off that entrance without stopping wounded marines from coming in through the front door. This would also help slow down alien meta-rushes that like to use medical exclusively to access the higher levels as opposed to the immediately adjacent cargo or engineering.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Either a new button would be added to lock off the shutters to the top and to the right of the ladder, or the chemistry lockdown would be extended to include the shutter to the north of the ladder.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Hmmmmm....

Budget cuts?

Anyway it would be nice to lock all of medbay down making it a safer place.
Although the Sulaco was supposed to be designed in favour of the aliens as them boarding should be a GG letting the aliens win.

Good hunting.

-1 Well technically they wouldn't need to put one there if the ladder is blocked right? Besides its not like anyone is expecting xenos to come around any time soon..

I'd just like to see the lockdown be useful. Right now it's all or nothing, so no one uses it because it stops marines from getting to medbay. If the chemistry lockdown also shut off the lower level door, at least it would be useful and worth using.

Right now the entire medbay CAN be locked down, it's just not used because of this reason.

Medbay lockdown should be expanded with more buttons for a specific area to lock down, as well as be (imo) moved out of the CMO's office. Many a round I've played in where we did not have any CMO on deck and we were unable to lock down Medbay, having the buttons hidden away in the CMO's office gets old when I have to keep screaming at the CMO to shut everything down.
