Its not a quick flash, I can take screen shots of a players base and see any underground works he has.
Here you go:

Thank you for posting that. There are several other ways to do that as well. People learn about the methods and are tempted, and it kinda ruins multiplayer. There are some defenses for that, ways to make it hard for them to see your base underground, but people are smart and they figure it out.
So you have this really well hidden base and yet a determined player will find it. I enjoy hiding underground and making a lot of traps and mazes, so when they find it then the fun really begins. But the point is anyone can see underground and that ruins it especially for newer players, they get very angry and quit. I see it as a challenge and have fun with it making a base KNOWING people can see it, but many people find it a "game ruining" event.
What I hate is when people still clip through a steel vault door, that one sucks. Or they go under part of your base, log out, log in and pop up inside your base. Those things keep a multiplayer admin busy if he helps his community, as things like that can occur daily. And again a newer player, once they see a person walk right through a door, often they quit over that. On one server a newer player would almost quit once a day, and we'd all say "there goes another one". So I'd try and befriend some of these people, and explain things to them, so when it happened it wouldn't be such a shock. But you'd still end up on a server at the end with very few players.
Lastly, this leads to an air of paranoia on mp servers, where everything, even legit things, people assume it must be another cheat. You get armor up really high, and they shoot you with a orange or yellow shotgun and you don't die, and they assume you must be another cheater. Then they spend all day screaming "Cheater!" just because you have high armor skills and good armor. And it all comes from all these other "game features" that are like cheats, seeing underground and clipping, they just assume everything is a cheat. Now that ruins the game for me, if I let it.
There was a base where my friend Showtime spent a huge amount of time breaking in. The base was underground and under a huge deep lake so it was challenging. But he got in and invited me to help. Whacking steel doors for hours and hours, days and days. But finally someone came home, we could hear them. And we were in a room with our entry point, and three other steel doors. So we didn't know from which door they would come from. In the end the guy called his friends, and so we had three of them, coming at us from first one door, then the next, then two doors at once etc. I got shot many many times but I carried fiber to repair my military armor, all high lvl. And repaired my AK-47 constantly. They'd come at us not even in armor and with crap guns, yellows, oranges, really ridiculous stuff. And they died over and over and over in a frenzy. They were friends with the server owner, so they threw a fit that we must be cheaters. Really vile and hateful stuff they spewed. And during the conversations, constantly they'd try and lend validity to their arguments by bringing up the ability to see underground, the clipping through doors and walls, etc etc. They used those "game features" as excuses to justify that our armor skills and maxed gun skills didn't mean anything, and we must be cheaters. Thankfully the server owner was very smart, and realized my friend and I were not the ones acting badly. But after that you just want to go play some other game without all the drama partly brought about by these "game features".
