#Revamp the entirety of the internal areas of the border

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.

#

one thing that would be cool

#

is liek

#

maybe a lab that was inside of a cave

#

that could only be accessed via labs

#

like theres a tunnel going to it

#

im so creative

#

yes

static saddle
#

and before someone says “yeah but it’ll get boring in a week”, we’ve had like 3 things to do as raiders for 3 odd years

#

people still raid

hasty hearth
oblique steppe
#

if there was to a facility revamp it shouldnt just be more ard updates

dense lance
#

no

#

greedy

oblique steppe
#

add something that isnt ard related for once

dense lance
#

:(

hasty hearth
static saddle
#

and it’s all divisionals because they’d all get new areas to fight raiders

#

a lab update IS a raider update

#

Ard are just lucky their shit is used for raiders a lot

half garden
#

yeah, the border is a bit boring in terms of design

#

and the hallways seem a bit bland

#

I like this 👀

BASED SUGGESTION

neat phoenix
#

not just ard and raiders a

#

others need content too

#

as for the suggestion, its not a bad suggestion but i would personally prefer the chairman finish what he's working on as it looks quite promising and save this for a later date if it is ever revamped (which i doubt)

static saddle
#

no one else needs updates immediately because there’s nothing to update

neat phoenix
#

like, if you take my suggestion for example (#1177901674375942235), this suggestion isnt aimed at ARD at all, it's purpose is to give SC more content as well as Regular AEGIS personnel and combatives

#

"No one else needs updates"

#

Your literally making a suggestion to give ARD updates when THEY are the ones who need updates the least

#

there are other divisions that need updates way more, but your claiming they dont for no reason?

neat phoenix
#

and you can look in #📋public-update-log to see the changes which they've made

#

ARD doesn't need updates immediately, they've just gotten a revamped lab. Other divisions and even regular AEGIS actually need some new content.

#

I would say that everybody except ARD needs updates immediately, after all, ARD gets the most content so 🤷‍♂️

neat phoenix
static saddle
#

aint my fault raiders like ard stuff

#

and ykniw, raiding it

#

sc is legit moderation

#

what content do you need??

#

sc is aleady more or less the most unique

#

mdf is a combat div, not much they could get

#

Sthf got an update

#

pksf i mean theyre already cool

#

sc do moderation, 99% of the time

#

ard dont need updates

#

but raiders do, so why not revamp the inner border and labs so that theres more to raid and break??

#

this is a raider suggestion, if you want to make a sc one go ahead

friendly fire

neat phoenix
#

They get old quick

half garden
#

why do you stay in sc though

#

i agree

#

thats why i hated it when interning

static saddle
#

i enjoyed sc duties personally

#

perhaps it does need some panel updates, but i mean what else would you get

neat phoenix
#

Anyway this isnt related to SC so im not sure why youre bringing that specifically

static saddle
#

you brought it up 🥲

neat phoenix
half garden
#

instead of an engineering department give sc those duties

neat phoenix
half garden
#

let them manage their site 🤯

neat phoenix
neat phoenix
#

Not

neat phoenix
#

Anyway like i said

#

Its not a bad suggestion vut i would rather the chairman work on the new content that hes been making rather than just making ard stuff

#

Which he is revamping some ard stuff to do which is ok but hes already stated hes adding a new area and an off site base which is the main stuff in looking forward too

#

I am hoping the revamped ard stuff is tied into stuff with other divs, like letting AED manufacture control rods woth the hafnium ore for example

#

Like i said i dont hate the suggeation but i really dont thibk more ard content should be prioritized unless if its also tied into the duties of other divisions or something

neat phoenix
#

Idk i just want some new duties, im sorry for wanting more new things to do 😔

neat phoenix
#

And im going to clarify this is a good suggestion so im not downvoting it, and i dont want to be on any bad terms with anybody here, but i think there's more important stuff that needs to be worked on (stuff which can still give raiders more content but also ideally everyone rather than 1 div)

static saddle
#

raiders want stuff in the facility to raid

#

all stuff is ard stuff

neat phoenix
static saddle
#

Thats not what raiders want

#

chairman said he doesnt add raider stuff as theyd complain, im suggesting something which thry actually would like

#

name we one thing in the facility that we coukd raid that isnt ard stuff

neat phoenix
#

I dont think raiders care if its ard dtuff or not, you can give everything a purpose

For example, allow raiders to break into the border and steal cars and things

#

I can list more too but my point is that it doesnt have to be ard stuff

half garden
#

chairman said he doesnt add anything to raiders because he doesnt know what, and there are no good suggestions regarding raider content

neat phoenix
#

AED content for example could easily be tied into raiders

#

Boom, let raiders steal stuff from aed or make their own guns or.something in aeds thing

#

Aia, raiders can already break into the border to erase themselves from aias database

#

For ALD, let raiders steal cars and vtols (raiders can already steal vtols but yeah)

#

For the artillery div, its literally artillery, let raiders take control and bomb the border roof

#

I could go on

neat phoenix
#

Hats what ive been saying this entire time

#

Im 100% for more raider content, i just want it to be tied into divisions other than ard for once

half garden
#

like we'd love to see this stuff

#

but the only updates we get are random which nobody asked for

neat phoenix
#

The artillery for example should definitely be able to be controlled by raiders imo

#

Just.make sure it has a cooldown so they cant just bomb the roof constantly, requiring strategy for them to take out as much aegis personnel as possible before they have to wait a while to fire it again

half garden
#

i dont think artillery would fit into the border very well

neat phoenix
#

I agree but they said that theres already a division being made around it

half garden
#

is the artillery division actually planned

neat phoenix
#

Apparently

half garden
#

yeah

#

well

#

coming out in 2026 if so

neat phoenix
#

Yeah

#

Anyway, i hope ive made my point clear

#

Like i said its not a bad suggestion but i think we should try tie content into other divisions (not specifically sc) duties so they get more to do

neat phoenix
# static saddle Thats not what raiders want

Alao im just going to say, but a lot of what ypuve suggested is just making things more complicated, which isnt bad (adding a puzzle that ard and raiders have to figure out in order to get access to do stuff with the labs is a good idea, and its been done before), but i dont see many raiders saying "i wish labs were more complex to use" either, so this argument is a bit ehh

static saddle
#

yeah it gives them stuff but it ultimately gives raiders stuff too

#

which wed enjoy

neat phoenix
#

Like i ssid i dont hate the suggestion otherwise i wouldve downvoted it

static saddle
#

raiders havent ever gotten a BIG update

#

new labs and shit would be fire

neat phoenix
#

Like i said raiders can be given more content while also tying the content into a divisions duties so they both get content

static saddle
#

this suggestion is for raiders

neat phoenix
#

Im just saying

static saddle
#

ok

#

this is my suggestion

neat phoenix
#

I know

#

Im not trying to get you to change it or anything lol

static saddle
#

as its something i think raiders would like

#

i know

#

whatever we add to the border that has sime sort of function will ultimately be maintained by ard regardless so, thats what im trying to say

neat phoenix
# static saddle this suggestion is for raiders

And yes i know but like i said i think theres other ways to do stuff like this while also giving other divs something to do,

The new content the chairman has been adding with the new ice area looks very promising, and i think when its added itll add some.more stuff for raiders to do too, the chairman said hes adding a secondary base location for aegis which gives raiders a new thing to raid for ezample

#

And what ive been saying is i want those updates to be finisbed before something like this is done

static saddle
#

if it isnt in the border we cant raid it

#

because aegisbisnt there

#

isnt

#

unless theres a perm aegis oost there

#

post

#

but i doubt it

neat phoenix
#

Ita a secondary base so there would be yes

static saddle
#

because they have to drive all the way there

neat phoenix
static saddle
#

well if it does that would be cool

neat phoenix
#

Either way all that stuff will be worked out after thr base is addrd by toml and stuff ao

static saddle
#

but either way ard would likely maintain everything there abyways lok

neat phoenix
#

Added*

neat phoenix
static saddle
#

who else would

neat phoenix
#

Things cant break currently

#

Nobody does

#

And when they can break aed will do it

#

We dont know many details about what the new base will base anyway but itll provably have something to do with the new area

neat phoenix
static saddle
#

So theres nothing to raid then…

neat phoenix
#

What

static saddle
#

if things cant break

#

why r we raiding it

neat phoenix
#

Nothing can break except the reactor lol, why do raiders raid the ard labs?

static saddle
#

we can turn off reactor

neat phoenix
#

And like i said we dont know the purpose of the base lol

#

The chairman hasnt revealed much about it

half garden
#

the bigger issue is that the game as a whole has a terrible gameplay loop

neat phoenix
#

But it willl have a purpose

static saddle
#

well we’ll see what it is

neat phoenix
half garden
#

the gameplay of both aegis and raiders is extremely dry and repetitive

half garden
#

some lab update wont fix that

neat phoenix
#

Itll take a lot to fix that issue

half garden
#

ya]

#

like a city

static saddle
#

and exactly, they cant break

#

so it gets boring

#

hencr this suggestion

#

u just proved my point

neat phoenix
#

Like i said its not a bad suggestion, im not saying it is, i dont know why you think i think it is but i dont

#

My opinion is that there are.more important things like the new map expansion which i personally believe has a lot of potential to help alleviate these issues that dod has, and that should be prioritized over a lab revamp

neat phoenix
#

The city would add a ton of content for everyone involved though so it would help massively

static saddle
#

the whole internal border

#

engineering district is just a hall

#

warehouse area is just a room with lifts and then the warehouse

#

labs are just outdated which is why its included
