I would like to see functional hatches built into ground tiles for Titan. That would be pretty darn cool and would allow neat gaming maneouvers like shooting through the floor and what not.

Oooh, Like that idea: +1

+2

Too late, T2 is done.

There's T3.

Yes, but what about T3 (etc.) ?

p.s. What johnnytrash said

Oh, come on, I know you'll include this in T3!

Looks around and can't find it...

Points to the few comments recently related to Denny being swamped and releases pending. "Soon" becomes an understatement.

Oh, so true

In WWG speak 'soon' seems to mean "We're getting to it. We're getting to it! We'll get it done as quick as we can; just need to get this even more urgent/important/critical thing (of which we cannot speak) out of the way first."

What really throws things the whole system is that every now and again, 'soon' really does mean 'soon' and new set arrives so fast we hardly know its coming.

in the meantime, one could always whip up a flat, hatch counter to put on the board -- one counter for a closed hatch and one for an open one.

That would be okay, but wouldn't be as cool as actual hatches.

Switching out one TLX floor tile for another in the middle of play seems difficult to me in regards to 'dismantling' part of the build [messing with the connectors].

Possible alternate temporary functional option would be the "open hole" approach:
1) Take a standard floor tile with a centered 2x2 floor hatch.

2) Cut a physical hole through the whole foamcore at the hatch. This allows a usable access through the floor located in the interior area of the tile so it does not interfere with the TLX connector holes, nor detract from the structural stability of the tile by still allowing an inch of tile between the open hatchway and all the connector holes.
*Don't forget to add extra edging to avoid infamous 'whiteout' showing.

3) Place (DO NOT GLUE) an overlay print copy of the original floor on top to simulate hatch in closed position. [6x6 floor tile without edges or bottom glue flaps] Remove overlay when hatch is 'opened'.

You could otherwise use a smaller 1x1 access hatch in any of the 4 center squares.
Granted, this method would be impossible to use for a 3x3 tile....
