I mean this is perhaps already being planned as lab 2 has gotten it’s much needed update…
But…. I’ll suggest it anyways. The internal areas of the border (I.e engineering district, warehouse, coolant, reactor, labs etc etc) that are seen by raiders and divisionals has been more or less untouched (until recently) and has maintained its layout since 2020ish. I feel as if this would be an amazing update to raiders, as there’s almost a whole new border to explore and interact with. The issue is raiding has gotten repetitive and has therefore turned too competitive. More interact-able labs, e.g where if things aren’t done correctly in the right order something explodes or shuts down, would immensely change the amount of things raiders could do. We are currently stuck to shutting off the coolant and maybe draining the border’s fuel if we feel annoying.
Not only does this give raiders a load of new things to break in the border, but it gives ARD a more immersive experience. A raider shouldn’t know how to operate a giant death ray or portal to another dimension. Obviously, I’m not saying make it completely impossible for your average newcomer to figure it out, as after all we want more people to join us and have fun. But cmon… clicking one green button to open up a portal is a bit naf.
Equipment breakdowns obviously shouldn’t happen if you just spam buttons, as that’s boring, but perhaps if you overload th death ray for instance it explodes and needs to be repaired (hint aed 😉 ). Or… if you leave the cure gas on for too long it fills up the ARD wing and those without a mask or ARD biohazard suit take damage.
I’ll leave the comments on this post to decide what cool things should be added and what can go where.
