At least, it never used to be. It was meant to be the equivalent of a game over screen, except one where the player could plant some boring-ass plants in complete isolation and be forgotten about. Things like improvised weaponry and the addition of stuff for the prisoner role has just made it easier to escape. Which is a good thing, the permabrig is shit. It sucks for the player and it sucks for the round. Sticky is right.
on box at least it was impossible to get to arrivals or escape without passing out from oxygen loss without a pill to offset it. any ability to escape without outside help was not intended. usually breaking the window would result in the permabrig being spaced. the vast majority of people trying to escape that way died.terranaut wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 2:39 pmyou used to be able to throw shit at the window until it breaks, then the grille, and then spacewalk to arrivals and barely take damage. it was definitely designed to be escapable. most players nowadays think that weaknesses in the station design are shitty mapping and not intentional to allow avenues of gameplay.cacogen wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 11:21 pm I don't think it was designed to be escapable.
