    And on that note...

    I have struck a compromise.  Not red lights on the ceiling but....orange lights on the floor!

    Check eet out 'mon:

    Ok, I'm going to say that this room looks great right now as it is.  I don't think there's a single thing you necessarily need to change, unless you really have a problem with something.  It is quite the magnificent beauty.

    At the request of lots of people, I've made the top lights red to show what it looks like...note, I probably will NOT be keeping them like this as I feel it doesn't look as good as the yellow ones. But still, people wanted to see <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Very nice, I think it would look best if you put the old lights back but make them a bit darker.

    Now THAT is a hive room!

    Love the water drips and broken pillars.  

    I like the lighting in the original one, but I like the dark, dank, creepiness of the red lit one.  So maybe what Ekaj said, keep the original lighting but make it a bit darker like the last pic.  If we can ever get the hive to glow like it is supposed to it would look awesome in the darker room.

    I probably don't need to say this, but hell, I must...

    Merkaba, you are incredible!

    I really love the level of wreckage you've placed in here. Bright or dark, I think this is the ideal example of a hive room. Thanks for the screenshots!

    It looks a lot better than teh first shots, and I agree the yellow lights look better, but I still got a problem with that broke pillar, it seems like it's only attached with a small part to the rest of the pillar, and it has to be some really strong metal to support that pillar in that way, but that's just me I guess

    Wonderful work, Merks, but that's par for the course.

    I definitely prefer the yellow lights up top, and the slightly brighter hive, as opposed to the darker pic with red on top.  That's one of the things I like most about your first hive on hera: it's totally wrecked, totally alien-infested, but also vibrant and easy to play in.  It feels very uniquely like the alien style that we've defined in NS.  Not scary because it's dark, but utterly foreign and chaotic.

    Further, all those slanted beams and the high-route will make this a tactically fun area to play in!  WOW!
