Right now it certainly seems more difficult to have successful runs. It appears as if some people still don't build their cades, or if they do, they build them in the wrong spots. I guess in time there will be a learning effect, but until then it's quite painful.
I do wonder, however, if a slightly different variation of the current system would make more sense. What if rather than forcing inexperienced cade-builders (plebs) to place their cades in inopportune locations, they are given the possibility to repair/strengthen existing cades instead? So basically in the Building Menu you would have the option to either place the cade you spawned with, or to use it to strengthen an already built one (the amount of hitpoints that are added to an existing cade could depend on the engineer level and the cade that is getting used up in the process). To me this would have quite a few advantages, such as:
1) Someone who knows what he/she is doing can place the first cade in the perfect spot.
2) There's less clutter and thus less chance that people get stuck in between cades.
3) All engineers are still heavily encouraged to participate (be proactive).
Anyhow, I have no clue whether such a system could be implemented (and how much work it would involve) or if it's even an improvement, but I figured I would just mention it as an idea.
