Replace Lower Deck Windows with Ultra-Strong Windows

Post by Shyguychizzy » 09 Nov 2016, 19:58

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):Many times this area in particular has been breached, commonly at certain times for instance boarding if marines can box xenos in that area in lower deck tend to result in breaching. I am suggesting we replace the bottom deck windows with the ultra strong windows so xenos don't breach or marines do.
Lower Deck area: https://gyazo.com/4b8e66a09c46a3d759a07d65af0647f6
The Ultra strong windows from SM: https://gyazo.com/23dc5ada85fb448c70cc4bb1e2301658
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): To prevent breaching in the lower deck as well not requiring staff to always fix this breach.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Replace the windows
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
"Young Carrier (920) (follow) hisses, "Shut up both of you or we aren't going to invade disneyland."

Long time ago, I, Ka'Torag-na Halkrath, Skilled Master Hunter Of Prey, Unleashed an unspeakable evil upon Xenos and Humans! But a foolish Xeno Hunter wielder of robustness stepped forth and opposed me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore a gate of Salt of Solitude and flung em into the world of CM, and took out their Facehugger Capabilities! Now, this Xeno Fool seeks to return the favour, and undo my evil reign and of many other predator predecessors!

+1, really awkward for xenos and marines to fight down there.

Wait, so you'll give us MT's like 10 free ultra-strong windows to use as we wish, as long as we seal it with regular glass before we pry em out? AWESOME!

-1. Lower the blast doors, OR don't get in a gunfight next to windows.

EDIT- I will get behind having the INSTALLED BLAST DOORS closed at round-start. That'll solve most cases, while still preserving the "Know your backstop, jackass" penalty for going weapons-free.

We have an anti-breaching rule, true, but I feel people are calling foe it to be so mechanically enforced that we aren't on a "Spaceship", so much as a big box with no way in or out that could be sitting in a grassy field, for all we can tell.

There are 4 windows to space in the Sulaco. Lower maint (Blast doors), Bridge (Emergency shutters), 2 close-by windows in medical maint (Don't go to maint and shoot out a window...), and the waste gas cooler (Ultra-strong already).

3 of the 4 have hard counters installed already (Med maint does NOT), and if you can't use the in-place hard counters, there should be penalties.

Actually pretty valid point Jroinc1. I was gonna +1, but I'll actually promote having the blast doors closed instead at roundstart.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

I'd remove the windows out right. The lower deck windows in engineering make no sense at all. It's a room that's got fuel tanks, tools, an APC and a few other things that you really don't want near a window. A window in CL's office or somewhere that actually makes sense on having a view would be more logical. Not one right under the engine bay and used for industrial work.

Hopefully the Sulaco redesign will address some of these issues and put them in more logical places.
