Just starting out so there's no real screenies or anything yet, still working on layout just started the map and i'm new to mapping so it's going to be slow going.

The Idea is that it's a deep space TSA Research vessel, was breached by kharra, and they must now defend and destroy their ship or be destroyed themselves. It's going to be a decent size map, I'm thinking either 4 tech or 5 tech points, I might make two versions one for a more aggressive 4 tech and one for a more casual 5 tech, I haven't looked around but I realized there aren't many if at all any ship based maps, so I thought I'd do one. there's going to be a lot of vents for the aliens to move around and marines will have alot of doors to deny aliens certain passageways

Also like I said I'm new, so anyone who wants to help out it would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just someone I can I'm on msn or skype or whatever when I run into a mapping issue.

heres a little teaser I suppose.

EDIT: Didn't like the map layout so i'm scapping and starting from scratch

    Instead of posting a console in a corner with no windows on a ship, you should post the layout(no offense, just a suggestion :D).

    Well, the layout was about 2 rooms :3, but unfortuneately you can't see the screen that well, it say something about breash and a level and area code :P

    Well if you need help with any mapping issues you may run into you could always join the #nsmapping iRC room on gamesurge, you can usually find a few of us mappers in there including psykoman who made ns2_summit.
    It's a lot better than the forums which you could be waiting for hours on end for someone to post a response.

    Unknown Worlds is already using the name "Discovery" for one of their unreleased maps. You might be better off choosing a different name to avoid confusion.

    Cory mentioned ns2_discovery as an official map, I would change your map's name if you're going to release it publicly.

    Still waiting for a source, mentioning something and doing it are two different things, if I mention I'm going to make a video game all by myself, does that mean it will happen? no I've just mentioned it, like I said, when there is solid source material that this is the case I'll think about a new name, but as things stand now the map isn't even being worked on I've moved on to another project while I figure out what I want to do with it.
