Ladders are annoying as fuck in ships, that’s why. It’s essentially a mini cutscene you can rewind. Hell, even Minecraft has a better ladder system.
I just boost pack up the hole, anyone actually trying to use the ladders would be silly
Sure, but even that is a pain when you’re trying to get through a ship quickly. And if there’s 2 ladders stacked and you miss the ledge grab on the second? Chutes and ladders, motherfucker.
Y’all are actually walking through the ship and not just teleporting everywhere?
I hate that you can’t turn around or shoot from them, going up the ladder while three people are shooting you all nice and calm then turning around like a Terminator
It should be stated for comparison purposes that you could shoot from ladders in Half-Life.

I use a balanced boostpack to get through the ladder holes and thus ascend the floors faster.
One of these days, I want to create a ship that’s shaped suspiciously like the mothership from Homeworld (basically built like a tower rather than a flat building), just for kicks (and to test whether this tactic works with multiple floors in the same ladder chamber)
Doesn’t help that ladder animations, among others, are simply way too slow.
I don’t understand the trend of games making ladder animations super slow for ladders in places players are supposed to use often. Any game that instantly teleports you to the top or bottom of a ladder, regardless of how much it breaks immersion, gets an A in my book rather than spending 30 seconds climbing up one story in an area that I have to ladder to frequently
I wish for 0g in ships while in space. Would fix many issues and make it more of a sim
I wish you could turn it off but isn’t the lore explanation the grav drive giving artificial gravity? Or did I Mendela effect something.
They need to make up they’re mind on grav drive being law or mechanic as when I remove all power from grav I’m still feet on the ground
Mild spoilers. There’s a few levels where it’s zero g. Some random encounters where you raid a enemy ship, it’s zero g and when you reach the captain’s chair, you turn the gravity back on and all the doohickeys like pencils and mugs fall down in a really satisfying way.
I thought that one random spacestation where gravity turned on and off every 10 seconds was pretty interesting puzzle wise.
And here I am where I built my capital ship before restarting that had 4 ladders stacked on 1 area…=_=
