I had the same bright idea, toon. About lockbreaking attempts on those doors. They don't want it. Won't discuss why not, nor consider how it's essential for smooth gameplay, nor anything. It's akin to a dead end of made of stupid, piled sky-high.

Because that was discussed before if I understand Doug good. Why you don't find this on forum and read why, insted of have claims that people don't want speak again about this same things?

Re: Knocking
Psy, it's because, as I later realized, when it was discussed before it was actually suggested by me. Years ago. You can look at that thread here, "Fair warning-Breaking ship locks" viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19987&start=0&hilit=Fair+warning
And there, if you have the patience to read, you can convince yourself that delusional moaning about "realism" + "it helps pirates" is sufficient to kill almost any good idea someone might bring to the table. Even if they bring it repeatedly over the span of YEARS!

Re: Knocking
This is not lock breaking, though. This is knocking. When breaking a lock, you don't really want to be heard, so hearing it through out the building makes things a lot harder. Knocking is trying to get the attention of someone inside, therefore it would be good for both parties if knocking could be heard all the way through.

Re: Knocking
But it doesn't make sense that knocking carries that far when no other sound does. The only reasonable suggestion would be a doorbell system that would be either electronic or connected through ropes and pulleys. Some Victorian houses had very elaborate systems of bells connected to cords in various parts of the house. And doorbells have been suggested earlier.

Re: Knocking
Rejecting, on the premise that characters themselves, unaided, cannot carry sound through more than one room. See the doorbell thread for a solution: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=5159
