The vehicle ramp does start inside the building. It’s unseen in this shot but the ramp starts at the edge of the vehicle pad itself and the dark sides are more guide rails when exiting. The ramp extends down for a while to the skirt and is at a gentle grade.

Preinstalled currently.

I asked that too but it just recreates the same issue of needing to support a large depth difference on all sides of the structure foundation. And it wouldn't really solve it, since then one side would have a massive wall from the block face where the other side is close to the surface.

Keeping the footprint of the building tight, and building in access ramps to each doorway is really the ideal solution.

Ya want:

1. Smaller footprint to require less unobstructed area.
2. Tall skirt to support vastly different terrain height from all sides.
3. Ramps to all doors perpendicular with doorway stairs to offer access at extreme height differences without expanding the footprint.

All stairs are secretly ramps... you see any IK on those feet?

That's up to design. We all pitched ideas, but there's allot of factors to take into account that "sound cool in my head" but when I discuss it with a real designer -- who understands the meta and game wide impact of every cool idea I have -- I am humbled by how complex and interdependent it all is.

There are control points at the base of contonstrction elements which define the low-high range of terrain that is acceptable for placement. With the long skirt below the foundation line, it should be very forgiving. And we're adding ramps like this to ensure if the terrain at the front is higher than the back there's still easy access.

I'm doing everything I can to keep the footprint small at the foundation, hence the overhanging design which was suggested by Wrel to offer more play space without demanding larger flat areas.

Hi, actually this isn't anything from the containment site, but the look does feel less boxy and cleaner like we saw in the site with more rounded elements. Whether the older props get a fresh coat of paint is mostly dependent how long getting the new stuff in will take and if we have time left to go back and touch up older models. But I'm game for it.

It was mentioned that the door ramp might be too short for uneven terrain. Wrel had similar feedback and so we added a split ramp to keep the footprint tight and avoid oddly extending the stairs. Hope this addresses your concerns.

The base pivot is really above the first or second step but I added a split ramp that follows the round exterior to help people get on with uneven terrain without extending the footprint too much. So noted, and addressed.

It will indeed.

Something like that should be possible, but I'll need to take a look.

Hey, this is a pretty timely post. We're working on this particular feature as a part of the construction update, so that folks with deployed ANTs don't end up losing them while they're out tending to their base and fighting at it, and the same will be done for a deployed Sunderer you own. If it's abandoned to pull a separate vehicle, however, that's a separate issue that comes down to performance concerns.
