[Ice Colony] Secret Tunnels

Post by Sarah_U. » 20 Jul 2016, 03:25

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Add locked areas the xenos can open to unlock new tunnels.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Generally lowers the stalemates between ladder camping in the map, offer some chances to move the round for xenos when they're stuck or to make a grand escape, etc.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Option 1:
Inside the complex and outside, tunnels are linked, but blocked by walls or something to prevent their access.
Option 2:
Inside the complex and outside, tunnels are linked, but blocked by walls only an admin can destroy as to grant admins the control over when to stop the staling.
Option 3:
Inside the complex and outside, a ladder leads outside, but it's blocked by reinforced walls so that only T3s can break it.
On the outside its covered by some props as to either emulate the feeling of someone blocking it off or simply being a secret exit.

They're far away from anything, but a good way to unlock an escape or assault route when the round stale too much.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A]
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

You mean, almost like when a hivelord can make tunnels from anywhere to anywhere?

Yes, but pre-made just because low-pop ice colony is harsh and so is the general hivelord lack of interest in tunnels.

There are several ways to get to the surface, and a hivelord can make tunnels pretty much everywhere. That's what hivelord tunnels are for, after all.
