Remove the pod locks on clarion/destiny. - Doctor Zaius - 12-17-2018
Having all the space travel devices being off-limits kind of sucks.
e: Yeah, to expand, I understand why the pod locks are there on 1 (to encourage players to stay on station so they interact more), and I'm pretty sure them being there on 2 is probably just an unintended consequence of the map rotation system. If there's any way to remove them on 2 while keeping them on 1 that's probably optimal.

If there is a way to set it so that G1 still retains the pod locks, while G2 loses them, I would agree.
I don't know if it is or not so that's my two cents.

I wholeheartedly agree, podlocks on 2 are non-fun imo.

In my opinion, restrictions breed creativity.
Differences between say the cogs and clarion like that are very good to me.
Changes up a bit your foreplanning and improvisation.
I never quite liked the fact that on the cogs somebody being pursued can just easily hop in a pod and screw off indefinitely, never to be found. At least make em work ahead a bit if they plan to make a getaway, at least on some maps.
Said differences being good is why, despite me liking pod locks on Clarion/Destiny, I wouldn't like every map to have them.

Maybe make pod locks have the same hacking as chests, with the failure instead causing the pod's "car" alarm to blare

This isn't a restriction though, it's just an inconvenience.
It's trivially easy to break into a pod given a couple of minutes.

I like the idea of an alarm that goes off. Maybe door wire hacking could be something you could do as a way to hotwire the engine

Maybe remove locks and replace them with a pod keys that let you drive it, requiring hotwiring to get working

It taking those minutes, even if it is easy, puts some pressure on decision making and changes foreplanning and thinking on your feet. Inconveniences restrict.

I would say "But it's not fun" but I have no way of checking to make sure this is an accurate statement due to poor circumstances (As is evident by my pfp). I would appreciate if someone were to add on to this.

Just give the captain/sec their own locked pods and everyone else gets one with a non-activated lock they can set themselves bam
