Which Tower To Go In First
Tormuse:
Hmm... I neglected to inspect the door to see if it was damaged... :| but I did hit it with one of each grenade, plus a bunch of rounds from my heavy weapon (forget what it was called) and whatever primary weapon I had at the time. (can't remember if it was the MP5 or the pulse weapon) Ammo is a very valuable commodity in this game, so I wasn't about to "waste" any more on something that I wasn't sure would work... From what you're saying, probably a few more shots would have done it. Live and learn, I guess. :P
Game Hunter:
Admittedly there should be an easier way to handle breaking down doors, especially because of how impossible navigating through the military tower is without expert Technical skill. Of course, doing so shouldn't be without consequence: maybe it could attract the attention of aliens who were otherwise minding their own business.
Alternatively, the security and military towers don't have to be nearly as inaccessible once a certain element is added to those towers. You'll still end up not going there unless you're mega-prepared or desperate.

There's a way to fix elevators. Unfortunately in your case, that also requires at least an advanced Technical skill, not to mention at most five whole multi-tools.

Well that's just your own fault. Military tower has exits to the Security and Storage towers, the latter of which won't need any keys. The Wiki has a small diagram showing the whole layout.

I'd say that's a fault of the game because it doesn't provide a map. Or, to put it in another way - if the way for inexperienced players to avoid this situation is to look up the map on the forums, then the map should be present in the game as well.

Could be damaged quite heavily. You probably had FN SCAR / MP5 as Primary and H&K MG as Heavy - though decent, those weapons do not pack too much penetrating power to destroy the doors instantly. You need to be a bit more persistent :) .
Btw, it should be possible for a player to draw attention from the bugs and make them destroy the doors (when we cause enough noise), imho. Atm the doors won't be destroyed by them, till we unlock them.

Maybe fault, maybe not - the roguelike game should not be too easy, should it? Map layout is not that hard to remember anyway...
