Boca Chica Walkabout : Its All About The Catch!

Description
WARNING: Potential loss of balance may cause injury and bright flickering lights are present. Please read below!

So, not seen enough catch lately? Too long between flights giving you withdrawal symptoms? You've consulted with your head shrink and plumber but can find no relief? Well here's the fix! There's more booster catch in this map than you can shake a Super Heavy plushy at and at more angles than could ever be imagined. You'll also witness the full flight cycle of the Super Heavy booster, although abbreviated to less than half the time, but it unfolds against a night sky that gets more interesting the higher you go. All this at the push of a button. One button is even shiny and red but this time beware of the square red button. That one could be dangerous!

This map portrays only half of the current Boca Chica launch complex which is mostly being demolished for an upgrade. But as a bonus, the immensely complicated new cryofarm for the V3 full stack is largely represented for your exploration.



So here's the button skinny:


There are 13 button stations spread throughout the map. To use them correctly you should first stand at the center of your VR area and face to its front before teleporting onto any station. Sometimes the buttons have no red circle base on the floor below them so aim your teleporter on the floor within the button's semicircle. But if you don't first face forward while standing at the center of your VR area, you'll get frustrated by all the odd angles you face away from the buttons and the full stack. The button stations take care of angles for you, allowing teleporting between all the stations while automatically facing the full stack. Instead, if you want, you can always just use your teleporting controller to freely move around the map but the green buttons are a faster alternative. Each button station has a green button on each side which teleports you to the previous or next station.

The remaining buttons (when present) perform the following:

- The PURPLE buttons trigger a launch after two minutes, allowing you to seek your own unique viewing position anywhere you can reach in that time.

- The ORANGE buttons trigger a launch after a few seconds, allowing you to spectate the full flight and booster catch from wherever you can reach, buttons or not.

- The ROUND RED button triggers a launch, sending you with it for the first 3000 feet of flight. Then you're teleported immediately back to the buttons to watch the rest of what unfolds from wherever you care to go, buttons or not.

- The YELLOW buttons trigger a launch, sending you with it for the first 3000 feet of flight but you'll be suspended at 3000 feet until the booster returns and completes its landing on the chopsticks. Then you'll teleport back to the starting button station.

- The SQUARE RED button triggers a launch. When the booster returns you'll be pulled with it to the chopsticks and only released near the end of the catch. Each SQUARE RED button allows a different perspective to view the booster catch if you can tolerate the motion. WARNING, you may lose your balance if you're sensitive to this added motion and should have something real to anchor you for this condition. Also, while watching a booster landing from the chopsticks, the sticks will move from underneath you also causing a potential loss of balance. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!.


If this map is well received I'll consider creating the newest half of the launch complex so please give feedback to this map if you're interested in seeing that map.
