right :/

that's what turret avoidance is ment to be now. an idea would ne to
extend wall functionality to air by some repelling effect of l2 walls.

in what way so it doesn't feel artificial?

no. i want the player to always know that a building that looks like a
pool is what he got used to be a pool. yesterday i realized in mid air
that the nexuiz server i just joined had no grabbling hook. that's ok.
it is one of three switches (hook, ff, ??). but to allow the designer to
change building params is too complex to provide a consistent game
experience.

that's something different. but still i wouldn't give more than 3
modifications to the default settings per race.
