A machine you can build on the floor like a AI holo emitter that emits a field like the atmos holo projectors but it draws power from the rooms apc. With this you can have real bay doors for cargo shuttles.

Those shield breach thingies in engineering don't work for this?

Those block movement too

Basically constructable tiny fans?

Yeah a air shield that allows you to pass though would be cool, just help you god if the power runs out the room loses air much faster.

Atmos holoshields don't block movement iirc. Kinda limited on the number of them you can have up, though.

You can print more atmos holofan projectors anyway

Yes but having upgraded fire locks that automatically make the force-field when tripped would be a fun thing to add for both mapping and engineers. It would be something for people to actually build.

sure you can print out a shitload of holo projectors but that is lame, having an easy to set up machine that can be wrenched down would be nice.

Making it an upgrade for firlocks might be cool.

Could be good if it were far along in techwebs maybe, or available to mappers. I've definitely wanted it for shuttle bay doors.

I've been meaning to sprite something for this for fucking ages but I've not got around to it

mainly 'cause I'm undecided on exactly what it should look like, I mean the classic look for this sort of thing would be like the shuttle bays in star trek or the access corridor in elite but I'm unsure whether to draw it as like a line (like directional windows and windoors) or as a fulltile thing

Fill tile like a window, with connected texture if there's more than one, visuals like the image your referenced (frame with a glowing force field highlighting the edges) imo

Just use the holo-firelock that already exists but add a metal rig around it to act like a projector. So basically just combo an open firelock sprite with the firelock holo.

Jus jus make fans craftable in a way besides chucking around miner pods

The fans arent COOL, Holographic barriers are.

having the cargo bay get sucked into space when the power goes out would be neat

technically it would be blown into space
