EvilBrage Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 To be frank, the location of the AI on the map is atrociously easy to break into - an AI has very few options to fend off anyone trying to breach the core area from the wall opposite Cargo. Simply moving back and forth also prevents the turrets from being able to eject and fire upon intruders quickly enough, and I've seen them dispatched by an individual with a fire axe moving up, taking a hit, then moving back to force them under the turret covers due to a lack of target. My suggestion is a rework of the way the AI is positioned. Instead of being two reinforced walls away from destruction, we could restructure the zone to make the entire thing a bit more reminiscent of the way the AI core was set up before: - Return the AI to the position it was in before (that is, sitting at the top-center of the area designated for AI equipment.) - Remove the "command hallway" and situate the door at the bottom of the entry to the AI equipment area. Alternatively, place the bridge-access doors around the entrance to that hallway. A huge flaw of the current design is that instead of the AI having the rear portion of its core facing a high-security area (such as the bridge,) it is now facing a public hallway, and the map balance has suffered as a result.
nanotoxin Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 As someone who loves to play Ai in malfunction rounds. I +1 this. ICly it makes no sense for such valuable material to be in such a central location.
ZipZero Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 It makes sense, though. The hallway around the AI is a rather public place; if someone tried to break in there, people would notice. If you have a more detailed suggestion about the layout, however, I would love to attempt to map it.
Guest Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 My problem with that is as soon as the AI shows a single sign of not following laws. Every person on the station think it's their job to break in and kill it.
canon35 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Personally, I'd like to see the bridge being built around the AI core, with the core itself being in center. On another note, perhaps we should move the vault to somewhere else? Perhaps inside the bridge?
K0NFL1QT Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 The Vault, Armory and AI core should be the most secure areas on the station, not some of the most vulnerable.
LordFowl Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 The fact that the armoury is every Nuke round by far the easiest thing to break into, with the vault being a very close second, is a testament to how unsecure they are. They should not be facing space, in my opinion.
