Ok, so once you get done laughing at my plane and tank, and scratching your head at what it all means then let me direct your attention to what I've drawn here.
This is a split level view. The top half is a side cut away view and the bottom half is a top down view. This is my idea of a base that could be cut into a cliff. This base would fit really good onto creyshen or someplace similar with some sheer faces on it.
The brown line is the cliff/ground. At the very top of the drawing you see two boxes with a 1 in them. That is the bunkers that allow access to the base. The bunkers have 20mm cannons or 12mm cannons or maybe a popup base turret. Not alot of firepower but enough that you can put up some form of defense when needed. Maybe an outer line of trenches or something that you can use as initial defense and fall back to the bunkers while they put out cover fire.
You have to come in thru those bunkers though. They lead to a long hallway and a set of stairs. These stairs run the entire depth of the base. Level two is the med terminals (purple boxes with red crosses) and lockers (green rectangles in the room to the right. You can put other rooms on the other side of this level if you want. Meeting rooms, a cafeteria, some beds and whatnot.
Level 3 has the air vehicle terminal and the spawn tubes/equipment terminals. The spawn rooms connect to the locker/med rooms above with it's own unique stairs. I don't have that drawn in but it should be easy to picture. The air vehicle terminal will auto fly you outside onto an overhanging pad. Once there you can take off on your own.
Level 4 has the vehicle terminal, generator and CC. You can access the base thru the vehicle terminal, but you can not access the CC from it. The vehicle terminal is connected thru it's on stairwell to the 2nd floor. From there you can continue on down to the other floors. Outside the vehicle termina is a set of bunkers (I didn't have room to draw them in) and some trenches and obstacles. Maybe set a turret into the base of the cliff facing out but with a good upward angle to cover planes. Several different ways to add some defenses to this entrance.
The generator and CC can only be accessed thru the central stairwell. The rooms in front of the CC have scattered box's and positions to use to engage incoming attackers.
Anyway, that's just a very rough concept of what I'm thinking. If I had any skill with drawing I could really get more in depth, but I have a hard time with stick figures so I'm not gonna try. Basically I'm just tossing out a different option for a base that incorporates terrain into design rather then ignoring obvious terrain features.
