Редактирование: TGMC:Guide to Base Building (раздел)

===Barricade Formations===
First lets talk about how the FOB is supposed to function in game-play. FOB stands for Forward-Operating-Base. As the title suggests, it is meat to operate as a offensive base used to creating a hard-point for static defenses, resupply, and observation of enemy movement. This means that it must be capable of withstanding counter-offensives, resupply the marines, and is able to keep track of enemy movement, in this case, xenos.

Do not block marines pathways, always make straight routes available so marines can counter attack.

Lets talk about how to set up the backbone of a FOB, the  barricades.

There are many things wrong with this setup.

'''1. There is a gap in the wall.'''

Having even one weakness in a defense is asking for it to be exploited by the xenomorphs. Make sure to seal up all the weak points like vent exits, windows, and always make sure to raise the plasteel barricade back up if you are not using it (More about plasteel in defense section)

'''2. The barricade lines up with the walls.'''

This is bad because it means that xenomorphs are able to hit the barricade from behind a cover. Leave a 1 space between wall and barricade so they are unable to hit the barricade without having to expose themselves to open fire.

'''3. Plasteel barricades are not lined up.'''

If the plasteel barricades are not lined up, it will cause congestion. This is terrible if the marine has to make hasty retreat from an offensive, and they are unable to retreat to the Alamo quickly. Plasteel barricades should be lined up to remove as much space between each barricades.

A better way to have set this up would have been this.
