Pod Arrivals Method Proposal

[Wire]

Certainly sounds like a good idea, do you suppose though that pods should only take you to the top part of the station, though? So the gauntlet of arrivals > wrecked station > escape is left intact? Or I guess just as far away from escape as possible.

Generally my motivation for wanting to put the docks around the edges of the station is to lower the chance of multiple dock areas being destroyed by a single event. Overall I feel this out-weighs the potential benefits to clustering them away from escape.

As regards obstacles, I like a mix of solutions 1 and 2.

As regards queuing, why not just make it so that if two people deploy to the same spot in a short span of time, their pods combine to form a sort of pod convoy/train that travels in unison?

As regards hazards at the dock, have the pods stick around for a few seconds after docking so the passenger can redirect it elsewhere if he feels threatened.

Re: Queueing, generally the comment about custom Move() code that blocks progression if a pod is there would accomplish your suggestion (without an actual combination admittedly). This would result in multiple pods moving towards the dock behind each other.

Re: Sticking around at dock. I like the idea of simply going to the (presumably indestructible) dock before allowing a redirect, which will be simpler than a live camera feed or whatever else. I'm still not a huge fan of redirecting in general but that's a hard thing to solve.

Technically you could also have people arrive at the diner with this, could be a cool idea.

I like this idea!
