There are far too many messages about a possible “Safehouse Raid” mechanic in Freelancer to reply to just one message, so here’s my two pence on the whole thing.
The idea is cool, I’ll admit it, but I don’t like the idea of a Safehouse location being compromised and even if all attackers are eliminated someone somewhere will still know the location so he (47) would have to move location.
There is a navmesh for the map, which is quite cool. Although it does not extend to the basement, in the March version it does but that’s because the wine cooler that drops down has no collisions in that build due to a bug. So the entire map isn’t covered (in it’s current state), so they could only invade the outside and main house.
While this is a big enough area, you can just run into the basement and stay there for an indefinite amount of time regenerating health, gathering more weapons, etc. Even if there is a time limit (how would this be implemented? i.e. in Wrath you had to stop them from getting to 47’s body), you could still be clear from NPCs.
The only reason the map has a navmesh is because at one point it had NPCs for testing.
The security cameras down there aren’t real they’re just static images made to look like it’s a moving camera.
