Just an idea that popped in my head when watching an episode of classic Battlestar Galactica. It seems like in battle situations, the ship bridge ought to be in a more secure, armored part of the ship. Now that we're in a post Nemesis era, where combat is more likely and regular incursions by the Borg happen, the next designs ought to incorporate this idea by making the bridge modules be able to retract into the hull to keep it more secure. Not to mention, the battle in Nemesis should've been a wakeup call to Starfleet on the vulnerabilities of keeping the bridge exposed. At the same time, it will still give the ship the classic bridge on top profile in general quarter situations.
Plugin allows to create retractable bridges and gates.
Supports Citadel and Bastion plugins.
Plugin could be useful for trenched towns, for creation of large gates, for new vault designs.
How to create basic bridge:
-
Put two opposite blocks
-
Left click first block with gold ingot - ingot consumed and gearblock registered
-
Left click second block with gold ingot - ingot consumed, gearblock registered and link with first gearblock is created
-
Put blocks between gearblocks
-
Put stone button to one of gearblocks
Now when you activate button - bridge will be drawn. Activate it one more time - bridge will be undrawn.

So, anyone ever been able to get around whatever issue it is that these two mods (Fully Possessed and the HD texture pack) have with retractable bridges in the game? There is one retractable bridge close to the beginning of the game, and one in level 4 of ROE. If both these mods are installed, neither bridge will deploy, and I am unable to proceed in the game.
why is this not a thing yet?!
i read up on the wiki and poked around the vast internet and could not find any information on this subject, i tried assigning a caged werelama dwarf to be atom smashed or dropped 30 z levels, but i cant find a way to kill this thing, i have it walled behind copper bars and forbidden till i find a "fun" solution.
any tips would be cool on how i can "dispose" of this beast.
Note: cant assign caged dwarfs to "pens" or "pits" as they are a dwarf...
im pretty sure i tried this, will try again quickly
edit: you can assign a caged dwarf to a garbage dump on a retractable bridge, i just watched the dwarf fall 30 z levels in side her cage and hit the bottom... she suffered no damage, perhaps the cage saved her? no matter, i had a atom smasher bridge at the bottom and i quickly closed it on her destroying her to nothing.
Thanks guys
I have a fairly large area I want to have liquid pass through when I need. Instead of building 50+ hatches and over 100 mechanisms, Can I build retractable bridges to serve the same purpose?
