So I used three phases and couldn't get into the middle vault of the Vaults..
BDR:
I'd rather have the 5 slots dedicated to large medkits, mods I can use later, or a thermie than 5 phases. I'm not much for running from fights though.

Try the City of Skulls on a higher difficulty level some time without using Shotguns. You will understand why stocking up on Phase Devices can some times be more beneficial than having many medkits.

Not exactly true. A rocket launcher will clean up just fine. :P
Moniker:
I have to agree that while clearing the Vaults should be a difficult Achievement (tm) notwithstanding, forcing the player to phase into one of them is a rather inelegant way of doing it. You have to spoil yourself to figure it out; it vaguely reminds me of the rogue quest in NetHack. Much better to have to just rocket your way in, or walk through lava to find a hidden door, or something. Not like it'll make it any easier.
My 2c.

Edit: Thinking about it, there are three things that would make this less of a problem in my eyes. 1. Give the silver badge on defeating the two side vaults. 2. Make a series of teleporters that place you directly in each of the vaults (a difficulty increase but one which takes the buggeriness of trusting to random phasing to get you there). 3. Change homing devices so that you can pick your destination instead of them always sending you to the stairs.

I did have the thought of making homing devices targetable, you probably wouldn't be able to target walls or barrels (even outside of LOS maybe), and teleporting would probably eat up a few points of health to balance things out. Maybe give Homing phase devices the option; go to exit, or aim, with a drop in health. Phase devices can put you even closer to the enemies you are trying to evade, so they are mostly useless to me, aside from the Vault and the Wall (for specific challenges).
