Interesting drifter bug on Docking

Played an game as aliens on Docking today where we got screwed by this bug.

1) Departure Hive start.
2) Gorge places a tunnel entrance in the middle of the doorway just to the west of the Hive.
3) Drifter can't cross the tunnel. Drifter also won't go the other way around, because apparently it doesn't like stairs.

I jumped out to help on the field, and another player jumped in as comm; I didn't have this problem, but they couldn't even cyst out of the hive.

    That's because tunnels cut out a chunk of pathing. Therefore blocking the doorway if there is not enough space.

    YUP! AI like drifters and macs respect structure blocking.
    The gorge can eat his own tunnel tho by holding the E key just like he can do to hydras.
    Easy fix :)

    o hai, I was a marine in that game. It was an ugly one after that tunnel drop! I think I had heard in rr after round that gorge wouldn't move his tunnel/wouldn't fess up. Easy fix, yes, but not when the gorge is oblivious haha!

    Why can't drifters walk over tunnels? Everything else can! They should be able to.

    Is there any chance we could get the drifter/MAC issue where if you select anything accidentally while using one they cease to take commands fixed? It's frustrating as a Commander.

    With respect, I'd get it if the drifter was hemmed in by multiple whips, or an armory... but a tunnel? Everything else can walk over it.
