It should be noted that on Map D the upper platform requires the least effort/equipment to defend as it places the pod in an area that incoming enimies cannot directly attack. The enemy pathfinding will cause most (almost 90%) of units to approach from the stairs connected to the platform as it is the closest to their spawn bar the moa only jump which many moa ignore. A player crouched on or near the pod is relatively safe from enemies not on the platform and enemy ai will relyably cause ranged units to "seek cover" from the player off of the platform due to its small size, limiting attackers to melee units and small groups of enemies who choose to press up attacking the player and should they then seek cover they will leave the platform.

A solo player or a small team with poor equipment can literally camp the pod and hold out many waves due to enemies approaching the platform individually and not in true waves.
