I agree on the advice to use a 90 degree spiral set of ramps. It works well and looks good.

Some aprocryphal evidence also suggests they are better for FPS as they have a smaller set of availiable paths to choose from when compared to up/down staircase clusters.

Thanks for the information. I usually use 90 degree spiral ramp sets when going through the initial layers of a glacier. But might consider doing it as standard for all my cave level embarks if this is true.

Depends. If you're doing a lot in the Caverns, it's a good idea, but it's far easier to close off stair clusters in case of enemies than a spiral ramp. FB's can fly up the middle of a ramp, but not a stair cluster. (Not that I've noticed at least.)
