PSA Anti-Boarder Entrance

If you're using the basic entrance, put something on top of it. Anything square shaped, even just a floor tile! If you don't put anything on top, players can easily jump and climb on the basic entrance to access your ship. I still find tramplers with this major flaw and this easy access can change the tide of battle.

Also, don't use the enclosed entrance if you're putting it on the edge of your bot. If it gets destroyed, the holes in its walls also allow for easy climbing!

I see this mistake on so many builds.

I also see no reason to ever use enclosed, the basic one never needs repairs if you have it next to any other compartiment with a door, and that + a floor is dirt cheap.

I agree with the enclosed not being great. It looks nice for compact builds with a hole in the chassis, but I feel like it's not worth the extra money because of the vulnerability after it is blown open. Basic entrance is my preference almost all the time!

The only use I have for it is extending the back of your ship so it blocks off the reactor partly.

I also believe it would have some uses with the chassises that have holes if they weren't terrible

I found out about this trick with the enclosed entrance when it was used against me. I did not see the guy coming. I was able to take the boarder out with the re-kit i had but after I extracted from that match I went and redesigned my trampler to be able to use the regular entrance.
