<div class="IPBDescription">What's it for?</div> I've *never* seen a marine even bother to weld the door open on the External Satellite Relay area on Tanith. Does it do anything special? If not, it seems that at the very least, it would be an intelligent place to relocate the marine base at the start of the game. It would give the marines a clear view of incoming aliens and restrict any attacks to a single entryway, much more easily defended than the original base.
Or is this area just ornamental?

What, like some sort of teleport? The map doesn't seem to support any passageway there. Does "relay" imply something like a phase gate?

Because i believe you just stumpbed on a huge amazing strat for the map
To the right (standing on the cc, looking out), the passage takes you past a big satellite dish, which winds around and heads towards Satellite Communcations Hive. There's a weldable door right there.
kinda thinking the wrong thing
This might fail... trying...

I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.

No, players definitely don't. I haven't tested structures, but would guess the same.
me thinks the laser makes it so the walls are breakable afterwards.
anyone know if you can die from the laser?
