Destructible AE Building in AP Mayhem Mission

Destructible buildings in Mayhems would be nice.
Unfortunately, they would probably have a metric boatload of HP, and when destroyed would have a huge damaging AoE explosion to one-shot any character in the mission. (RE: Steel Canyon fires)
1. The area of the Atlas map available during a Mayhem is to the West of City Hall. The AE building is to the East. The only way to possibly include it would be to at least double the size of the first Mayhem mission map for low level characters. Not a good idea.
2. The resulting explosion would need a metric ton of graphics as of yet uncreated to make it look good and the sheer amount of particle effects it would have would be likely to lag players more than a Rikti invasion.
3. Buildings cannot be explained to be destroyed and yet remain perfectly intact in the very next Mayhem 20 minutes later. Paragon Construction Inc. is good, but they're not that good.
If we're going to add more destructibles, I say they should be added in AE. At least there there's an explanation as to how a building or landmark can be rebuilt so fast. It's not real.
The debt would be worth it to see that building fall

Or, leave the buildling intact and make targetable some Inf farmer NPCs...?

Yes, I like Force Fields.
And do blues get to go to CAD and blow up that AE building? ;p

Probably not. Heroes don't intentionally destroy property. Villains do.

This idea deserves more recognition.

I suggest adding a destructible Architect Entertainment building to the Atlas Park mayhem mission. It'd be a delight to bring the building crashing down over the heads of powerleveling newbies.
