The only concern I have with chambers blocking lifts is that in some cases it makes the lift shaft inaccessible to certain aliens. A fade can have enormous trouble trying to blink up some blocked shafts and end up having to take the long way round. It often works against the alien team, and I wish gorges would think about it more carefully.

Oh my heart is bleeding for those poor fades fancy having to take the long way round before they acid spam the marines ...

The real answer to your problem is to make sure the gorges don't block all the elevators, or else it's use the movement chamber to get to cargoroom hive for you! And if you don't have cargo, go through that vent near viaduct and take it back!
1. the one which allows you to bite or knife extremely fast, i dunno how to do it but many still do ffs 2. the dots of destroyed things and stuff leave on commander's map 3. drawview 4. resource donating, sucks when a hive goes up 2 minutes after start 5. not a bug but there should be auto team balance or a server option to limit people to going random team

A) Dips in the cieling mean skulks fall off at this point. B) Area B appears to be a big hole. It's black on the map. Even if you could get past A (which I've never been able to) I don't believe there's anywhere you can wallwalk on to get near enough to drop onto hive.
Jetpackers don't have to face either off these problems.
