Why not? Thoughts and forseeable problems...?
I think it could be useful to protect ceiling eggs and tubes/hives from some of the heavier human weaponry. They could still collapse upward to let large aliens through in smaller passages....
-
Hmmm, I like this.
-
I think it would be worth trying out....
-
Couldn't humans crouch under them or otherwise easily circumvent them (throwing nades under them, shooting under them, etc) easily defeating them purpose of building a barricade?

I imagine there use would be to cover a trapper from the other side of the base, or cover the LOS of an egg. I'd like to
add, why not Ceiling - Boosters as well?
Give humans wall turrets, and everyones happy ;D

You can build trappers on the floor too :)
However I think this would be a neat idea too. I'd also like to see eggs on the walls.

Eggs on walls can't happen. But I like barricades on walls or ceiling, would be nice.
-
Eggs on walls can't happen.
Just out of curiosity, is this because of gameplay reasons or the practicalities of spawning?
-
Its something to do with the bounding box and stuff I think
-
Ok, "won't" happen, it is possible, but doesn't work very well.
-
Agree with allowing barris on ceilings if it is easy enough to code.
IIRC eggs can't be built on walls because of the silly looks. A new egg model perhaps? Something that more closely matches the bbox too then.
-
Ceiling teslas.
-
I think it's a nice idea, but the barricade model would look silly in my eye in the ceiling though :)

Ceiling barricades = win 8)

True. However, if we decide to build them on the ceiling, we are deciding that we dont need them to hinder human movement, but rather to cover a ceiling structure from damage. On some maps, this would be a real lifesaver. edit: on a further stretch, I think it would be good if their shape changed depending on if they're on the ceiling. I'm seeing a broad, flat leaf shape, much like a beaver tai that curves in toward whatever its protecting.

I think the simplest (read: only) way to do that would be with a seperate ceiling-cade buildable.
-
indeed, if you want to build barricades on the roof, then its just a regular cade except on the roof.

This.
