Firstly, original suggestion credit to @trail jay . Reposted with permission with the intention to add detail/direction. Contact me via DMs for the message link for added context.

Background:
AEGIS is a multi-billion dollar company with a strong military presence and active conflicts. In the lore, the Corporation has had instances of reactor meltdowns and site destruction. So, with these instances, it would make sense AEGIS would utilize its assets to ensure individuals of importance to the corporation have a safe escape route if trapped in the facility.

Suggestion: The addition of a detachment of The Tower. After going up one level, there will be an additional door labeled "Emergency VTOL" proceeding down this hallway is a door labeled "VTOL". This door can be opened via a [L-3]+ keycard. Meaning, Site Control, ARD, and PKSF can access it. (Not sure about STHD's card level, assuming its [L-2]. You would enter a room with a closed panel over the roof with the AEGIS logo on it. The ToML+ would approach a scanner, similar to the one in booths, and scan their hand via holding out their keycard. Once the system as identified their rank, the roof would open up, taking about 10-15 seconds to open. Once opened, the ToML (and their PKSF protection if they elect to bring them) enter the VTOL, with the ToML driving. The VTOL would have to make it across the map towards jokeumbia, upon flying over jokeumbia everyone in the VTOL will 'escape' and the VTOL will despawn.

VTOL can only be used once every 30min, meaning, ToML+ can't escape that way every time.

#

Implications for AEGIS: Doesn't effect any ranks not mentioned above. Any non-permitted ranks enter the area would be treated like a normal trespassing scenario by SC or Officer+.

Balancing for wastelanders: This VTOL will not have the speed of the normal one, and can be shot down by raiders. Health will be buffed, however. Heath and speed suggestions are guidelines and can be chosen by development. Wastelanders, with organization and concentrated fire, should be able to bring it down with moderate difficulty. This is meant to play more into the roleplay side of the game, not a meta for AEGIS command.

Rank accessibility: ToML+ / PKSF

ToML+ would be able to access the escape VTOL craft. PKSF accompaniment would also be permitted, with a maximum of 5 seats, ToML+ take priority needless to say.

all of this is rough and im open to suggestions

Isn't this like already in progress?

#

@heady cloak this is why 2nd best pksf

#

also ARD and sc don’t got l3

I am kind of stupid of thinking he suggested the tower to eject itself into the air.

@crisp cave upvotes/downvotes pls

heady cloak

Unless you can

#

I mean coded already said there would be divisional revamps

queen surge
#

🙏

heady cloak
#

And keycards would be involved in that

But I only tested this on lab 1-2.

#

3-4, not sure.

Mhm.

Just like we can get into research wing but not reactor/labs with l3

yes

Alternative escape for AEGIS High Command during meltdowns

#

@heady cloak would it be a automated vtol like helicopter for chairman or would it be flown by someone

earnest pewter
#

Well there isn’t a lot of AAA members and there are only 2 Pksf which are in AAA, lightiumZ and me, he is Indian standard time and I’m EDT/ EST

#

@acoustic stump

earnest pewter
#

Wouldn’t really work as vips generally only want pksf around them as people clutter at the sight of a vip

#

Especially tomls

#

Yes

#

Wellll I meannn not necessarily

#

Plus FA can’t open the vtol door

#

That would require more dev work

#

Sc to open

#

Or pksf

#

Gives more things to do for standard aegis, and making people who are in the group would add more to the endless ammount of deving coded has to do

#

No

#

If vtol gets immunity or flys out of a certain range

#

Then your fine

#

No pilots are trained upon entry to AAA

#

VTOLs can fly literally anywhere

#

Go read it mr

charred shore
#

yes

heady cloak
#

@acoustic stump @earnest pewter

Original idea was for AAA to be involved in it, but because AAA isn’t fully out/still in dev. But for not it wouldn’t be automated the ToML would fly it.

#

Again, once AAA is off the ground they would fly it.

#

I’ve also got a couple ideas around how AAA would play into it but I’ll hold those for later.

#

they have separate divisional cards for a reason

#

they can’t open things like the roof pit, others idk

flint cloud

they can be replaced

UH

left apex
#
  • this is a game so
#

also cool idea

viral cave
#

make vtol a escape route for hicom ig

atomic wren
#

also pksf should be able to open it

molten thicket
#

VTOL escape is being worked on by AAA

misty escarp
molten thicket
#

Well we did the meltdown ourselves but yes, something like that

#

why the fuck is thread alive again

I made ts 6 months ago

#

Good suggestion

misty escarp
#

i mean if the chairman is in game when a meltdown happens then possibly he could use the helicopter he used to get in

vague spindle
#

I have a clip

bruh they have inf hp

anyway

#

It's a good idea but I downvote because ik that the chairman will make it so all aegis escape through the vtol after some time

tepid hollow
#

ong

#

But their keycard is tailored to SC areas and ARD areas

#

I’m pretty sure that’s what the wiki said

#

Plus I was SC and SC cars can open everything except like AIA stuff

#

Card

tepid hollow
#

No

#

SC can open basically everything

#

Ard can open like nothing lol

hybrid summit
#

No

#

ARD and SC both have level 4

#

They are called SC-4 and ARD-4

#

Ard can open everything except AIA and SC stuff

#

SC can open everything except AIA stuff and ARD lab controls

rustic ember
#

sc can open almost anything lol

#

the ard keycard is basically the same as the sc one

#

except it cant open the control room and stuff like that

rustic ember
#

the VTOL would be prioritized for UC+ and combatives and stuff, and then any extra room would be given to lucky personnel

#

plus we can only make a few trips before we have to land

#

(Also, VTOL escape is already being worked on by AAA soo)

atomic wren
#

i am pretty sure that AIA get L3

#

With that being true, SC and ARD can open their things

#

SC/ARD cards are probably just a nerfed version of the TOML card, removing TOML functions like the trench in the spawn hall clearence, shooting range clearence, and the bunker elevator clearance

#

Just more nerfs to raiders

well

#

when i was SC we could

#

wtf is the trench in spawn hall

high grove
#

Funny number

atomic wren
#

I mean yknow the hatch that goes below the roof

#

there used to be 2 shooting points there but removed now

rustic ember
#

yeah the bunker

rustic ember
atomic wren
#

they do but they are blocked off

#

permenantly

rustic ember
#

no they only open when the wall defenses deploy

#

which is only during lockdown

atomic wren
#

oh really?

rustic ember
#

ye

atomic wren
#

nice

rustic ember
#

you can post down there freely since your an fa

atomic wren
#

but i mean theres also the yknow

#

the elevator

#

that you can lower during processing

rustic ember
#

yeah thats kinda useless

#

itd be a good place to park a golf cart though

#

or forklift

#

secret forklift stash

atomic wren
#

also it's like kinda useless

#

well maybe as a stage for events

rustic ember
#

ik lol

atomic wren
#

but thats it

#

there are 2 more useless places

#

the trench in spawn hall

rustic ember
#

best purpose it has is for making dramatic enterances, sadly SC cant do that 😔

atomic wren
#

and shooting range door

rustic ember
#

so if you want to get in there, just jump through the thing and yeah

atomic wren
#

isnt that considered glitching?

#

also whats on the other side

rustic ember
#

its all open

#

so i'd assume not

atomic wren
#

they probably didn't intend people being able to go into a firing range

#

i mean itd be funny if someone shot someone doing that

#

and gave an excuse

rustic ember
atomic wren
#

i thought he was a target

languid spruce
#

They used to open wall defenses during incursion

#

When did they change that

rustic ember
languid spruce
#

Oh

trail jay
#

this did change a little from my original suggestion, which was to have something on tower helipad similar to tram for the chairman exclusively, where it just teleports to safety, rather than flying them to the tram

celest oxide
#

SC card can open anything

#

Ard card accesses all ard places and some L-2 spots

#

It doesn't access any of the training stuff

#

Except for

#

The middle wall for some reason

#

It also can't access gate controls for some reason

heady cloak
#

thank you very much for responding to the 6 month old message

#

consider me informed

yeah its funny when threads are revived

#

im going to go to the oldest threads i can find and talk in each one to revive them

aegis would find a way to abuse this and escape without having to enter the wasteland
