I remember an interesting situation arising from the sleeping Skaarj in this one. More than once (or at least twice) a Skaarj would spot me or even battle me, and if I ran off or backtracked far enough (putting doors between us) to go down to the cargo hold for more provisions, the Skaarj would go back to sleep. I've only played through the level a couple of times, and I'll be honest...in all the times I've encountered possum Skaarj in Unreal I usually engage until one of us is dead. I've almost never been in a situation where combat with a possum Skaarj is broken off long enough for them to revert to idle, save for this level. I'm half a mind to believe I simply didn't wake all of them up, but has anyone else ever had a similar thing happen with possum?

This level seems to have some element of randomisation to it; the first time I played the right door at the start unlocked, and for the playthrough it was the left door that unlocked. The design here can actually lead to some dynamic and tense fights as the Skaarj seem to be very mobile and it's possible to get attacked from multiple angles at once if you let too many awakened Skaarj get on the move. That's the only part that really sticks outs though and the rest is pretty simple (the control room fight is kind of a clusterfuck but the tiny size of the room trivialises it between grenades and inevitable friendly fire).
