The main purpose of the spit is to allow Cute Cuddly Granger (CCG) to flee the Nasty Human Bastards (NHB) like me, not to block the Exhalted Alien Overlords (EAO). Typically there should be no reason for an alien to be blocked, as it would only be really useful in a fleeing/rebuilding situation.
Of course, we could:
a) Allow aliens to go through blocked doors.
b) Extend denybuild to prevent the player from Grangering.
c) Kick Cute Cuddly Granger.
d) Implement the magical basi fart which allows aliens to teleport across the map.
e) Do none of the above and see if it actually becomes a problem.
I disagree with slowing the door down, for the reason that some doors move (way) faster than others. Also, in a fleeing situation, the slower doors will still be opening after the granger passes through. Spitting at that time would have opposite the desired effect...
