Will we see a spaceship/tech based theme?

Magneto

Just wondering as ns has always felt like it was set it space or in technologically advanced locations, while the current theme looks very detailed its a bit too dark and industrial for my liking, hopefully we aren't going to have it as the main theme.

I've heard about biodome and it sounds cool but i would love to see a space based theme available at some point, i also think mappers need more general props and textures to come up with unique and more creative maps.

There will be more than 1 or 2 different themes so I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes, we are planning on creating a new environment art/map set based around a spaceship/space station theme. Given our limited resources, we can only have Refinery themed maps for the first release of NS2, but we are hoping to follow it up with several Biodome maps and several maps in the style of the as of yet unamed space theme.

Thats great to hear, do you think we might also get a few more general props and textures added over time?

Creativity with the current refinery props can still make a space ship...

Yeah you're right theres definitely stuff you can use, i think the quality is very good but its quite a dark theme.

this is true if you are able to import your own outter space themed backdrop, otherwise it might be awkward looking out a window of a space station and seeing smokestacks.

Space cinematic skybox can already be done without props, sure props would make it nicer (rocks/planetoids and planets and stuffs)

I think he meant like a skybox? Not props.

Yep. Although we already have various props and textures of a more generic nature that can be brought over into the new art themes, it's likely new general-purpose assets will be added as need arises.

You can, if you want. Get started on those props and textures, man.
