Best and worst dropship boarding locations

Post by HKO20006 » 25 Oct 2017, 02:57

BEST
RO (outdated due to new windows at RO south exit)
Defense wise: there is no space at west and south exit for marines fire plus restriction of movement by window frame at west and 1/2 tile choke point at south. East side is open but there is a wall blocking direct fire plus no marine go through maintenance anyway.
Meta wise: instant deny marines of equipments, easy access to cryo to deny reinforcement (or gain hosts)
► Show Spoiler
WORST
Being called up to hanger, open space, direct fire from 3 sides

CIC is just great. If command couldn't evac before the ayys landed, thenSD is NOT going to happe .

Right. They can hold better if they have Boiler/Crusher. The one below held by Crusher and Queen screech + hug and won due to Queen screech + hug too gud and low marine count at this point.

Best:

medbay bang ontop of surgery. Just causes mass panic by doctors and wounded leading to lots of FF and lack of organisation Or CIC as you instantly destroy command communications.

Worst

East of alpha and bravo prep, only landed there once but if they are holding briefing its a shooting gallery with no way out

All crash sites were redone. I'm sure there's still some subtleties on what part of the ship it lands in and what it destroys, but it should be less brutal than being walled in on landing
