The door that goes whoosh

    You know the doors from star trek. They open automatically with that cool whoosh. Can we get something like that in starbound?

    Oh and if anyone has any other ideas for Si Fi props, post them here.

    That's be nice. It'd get rid of the need for clicking your door open and closed every time you need to. Perhaps a system could be added that requires a keycard to open the door. Metal Gear Solid style. If you have the right keycard, the door opens when you get near it. Security is necessary even in video games.

    And for another sci fi idea, holograms that allow you to speak to other players who are farther away would be cool.

    There's a problem with that though.
    You don't have the cape.
    Therefore you cannot make the whooshing noises.

    I would also like automatic doors.

    Opening doors can be a pain in my rump.

    Everyone knows the coolest dudes wear capes.
    Unless you wear them in public.. But that can be okay if you have armor to go with it.

    You will be wearing monk's robes in a sci-fi game. Your argument is invalid.

    Repost of my earlier suggestion from temp forum.

    Idea started by ThRx: sliding doors, both vertical and horizontal. Can go in two flavors:

    1 — Fully-automatic sliding doors, with sensors. Programmable:

    a) locked - overrides everything, can't be opened until reprogrammed;
    b) opens for builder only;
    c) opens for any players on builder's team/friend list/whatever;
    d) opens for any players;
    e) opens for friendly NPCs;
    f) opens for anything non-hostile;
    g) opens for anything hostile.

    Choose any/all of the above for any door. Option "g" is useful for trap doors, for example. These ones above lava pit, you know the type.

    2 — Manual sliding doors (much lower cost / tech level). Should be wired to platform or switch/lever. If activated via platform - stays open for programmable amount of seconds after platform is free from activation.

    Just because that looks awesome. I mean, every game has this simple whisper thing, but to have a hologram of your char is just awesome...

    'Cause it's a hologram, how can you not use it? :/
     
  12. They can be good traps too :3

    "Intruder alert!"
    "Start emergency lockdown!"
    "-emergency lockdown initiated-"
    "-intruder runs towards door before closing-
    "-intruder gets stuck in the door and meets a painful getscutinhalf death-

    mmmm whoosh doors >w>

    Yeah very must-have, automatic doors. Also, remote-controlled doors, doors set to let certain species (pets) past (door with a dog-latch?)
