Get to the roof quickly
Method One
Discovered By: Shadow and Baby Sheegoth
Using a perfectly timed Space Jump, you can get onto a small ledge above the entrance to the internal area of the station. From there, jump onto the roof. I beleive this to be the fastest method of getting onto the roof.
Method Two
Discovered By: MMcLean54
To make it up to the roof by means of a slower but easier method, simply jump on the rim of the level itself before jumping onto the small ledge above the entrance to the internal area of the station.
Method Three
"Discovered" by: SheeEttin
You can also shoot out the grating in the hall into the interior, then jumping onto the roof to the sides of the grating. You can shoot the grating out from under your friends for some fun. ;)
