Transport tubes#435
When you get to the endgame, the ship starts getting a bit long. And who knows, it might even get longer in the future ! (There was plans for a fifth segment, but since they approved this post #60, we don’t really know what’s going to happen anymore.)
So, I thought of an endgame device that would help with travel around the ship, but which could also lead to interesting strategies on interior defense.
It would be an elevator-like tube, and you can place multiple of them around the ship, which allows you to quickly get from one to another. Enemies would not be able to use it, just like they can’t open your modules.
Now, there’s multiple ways that it could work…
You can only have two on the ship, so it’s not too op. The best way to use them would probably be to put one at both ends of the ship.
You can have as many as you want, but they are linked two by two. Meaning that if you separated a large segment into 6 rooms with no doors, you would need 2 tubes in each room to get from one to another.
They could be linked by item-coding, they would have a display (like custom controllers or chests), and you can set two tubes to a same item, effectively linking them. But you won’t be able to set a third tube to that item. (In order to prevent exploits by changing the item to link to another tube easily, changing to another item could take a minute or so.)You can have as many as you want, and each one can link to all the others. As the previous option, each tube could be item-coded, and when getting inside a tube, you have to select where you want to go, by selecting the item of the tube you want to travel to. This option has the downside of needing to remember what each tube is set to, but this should be easy enough if you don’t have dozens of them around. (For example, this one has a controller because it’s the control room, this one has a chest because it’s the storage room, etc.)
The two last options would be interesting, as they could lead to the removal of all doors inside the ship, which are weak points for enemies to target.
To be 100% honest with you Mr fire dragon
Every time I see you make a suggestion it is really long
But I guess do that so that there is no misunderstandings hmm
I like to fully develop my thoughts so that they are more easily understandable, but also make interesting ideas. There was this guy who was like “Add uranium”. Yeah, but like…. Why ? What does it do, where do you find it…? I cover these questions myself in order to get a complete suggestion
I guess the guy wanted to make a nuclear reactor for his drill ship…
orrrrrrr…..
MAKE A MASSIVE NUKE TO BLOW THEM COGS CLEAN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH…and probably himself as well xD
