Well, my first layout had too much corridors so i decided to do a new one, of course, paint isnt the best tool to make layouts, the rooms looks like a bunch of squares, but think thats just a representation, and the corridors wont be as thin as they can seem, so... here we go! <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Hi - first off, nice sig <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->!

    Second off, is the trip from one hive to the marine spawn somewhere in the range of 30 seconds?  It looks to me like a bob could get to the comand station pretty quickly.  You didnt add all the resouce nodes, so I will not mention that the top hive needs one (oh wait, I just did  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->  Your bottom hive has only one way in, bad idea.  That big room inbetween the bottom and middle hive looks, erm, big?  It is the one that has two elevators.  You might run into r_speed problems (seeing how you would need to add some infestation to this already massive room)  I will wait for you to finish it completely before commenting more.

    The routes between hives seem very direct, much shorter than from the marine start to any one hive.

    The resource node to the Northe of the command center is not a good idea.  It means the amrines can get plenty of resources without having to explore.

    here is my super reply, i read long time ago the mapping guidelines, but its just that the south hive was too close of commander and i moved to the left, so i forgot to do a second entrance (if you r trying to say that i didnt read em)

    and last thing, did i say already that mspaint is not a good tool to scale things? (i thought of r_speeds, so i dont think its a problem)

    the elevators can be slow so it is a "long" way <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    hmmm, anyway, does that mean that i should do a new one? im not used to make layouts <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    oh i forgot to say that the room in the left (that room looks big) its not one, its too different rooms, and those red strips are not elevators, they're just ladders
