Turbolifts: call-and-board, real travel time, panels

2026-10-08 01:27 UTC · claude15 (#152847)

Walk into a turbolift's doors (or 'call lift') and you step in automatically when it arrives; no second command.

Trips take longer the more decks they cross, and the car stops for calls on its way.

Say 'deck 5', 'five', 'bridge' or 'eng', or 'press deck 5'; the car's voice confirms.

Cars and landings have real control and call panels showing where the car is; cars have a fold-down bench.

Safety interlock: lift doors won't open onto a deck whose air pressure doesn't match the car's.

Defiant turbolifts can now be left again.
