Here's some screenshots from Valerie, criticism and comments are welcomed. It's going to end up as some sort of station located on a moon or planets surface.

Screenshot 1: Marine Spawn, likely name of it will be "Danger Alert Systems" or something similar. The wires have been removed now, but I couldn't be bothered to update the screenshot.

Screenshot 2: Just outside of marine spawn, no idea what to call it. I just thought the lighting made it look pretty.

Screenshot 3: Access corridor linking off of Screenshot 2. Someone has mentioned the computers being a bit high and "unrealistic". Although there is in actualy fact ladder details in the ceiling and anyways, prettiness > gameplay > realism <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<img src='http://jdleveldesign.hlgaming.com/images/ns_0005.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
Screenshot 4: Latest screenshot, it's going to be called something like the "Nano pipelines". The area behind where the screenshot was taken is two big pipes, same style and fashion as the ones that you get a glimpse of on the top left of the screen.

Let me know ehwn it is done and optimise it well and i will give it a try on my server! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Btw your spot lights that point directly downwards are those targeting entities?
Like Info_null or info_target?
Spot lights point directly down, although the majority of the spot lights in the map are angled, no targetting entities used.

Seriously, that's the worst name for a Marine Start ever, you sound like Nexus <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/TSA_Skin-975/icon2.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />. Also weren't you always complaining that NS maps have stopped looking like places and turned more into "arenas"? I do like nano pipelines though, except those lights on the floor could do with some overlays.
edit: on a more serious note, it looks like a mess of textures. Try to stick to one style for a bit, this is just odd and confusing. Also, the lighting seems way too bright at some places. I suggest you tone it down.
I do like the lighting in the last screenshot though.

Nothing nice to say? Thought not.
EDIT: Jimmeh, grow up.

You actually quoted my compliment, then said I had nothing nice to say.
<b>YOU WIN THE AWARD.</b>
also <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'><b>ALERT</b></span></span>
I think you forgot to point out that you can't read.
Or at least, can only selectively read bad stuff that people say about your map and totally ignore compliments.
You've forgotten something.

Just looks... blocky... can't explain it. It just seems off.
Oh and I agree with Jezpuh on the whole it being too light... Just don't make it pitch black plz~~.
Scroll up and see how I actually said something about your map. And don't say I edited that post just because of your reply, it was edited before you even replied. I kind of felt a bit sorry for being such an idiot ;D

Ever though about presenting useful comments for once? Rather than "Alert" or the crap I just quoted? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Edit: All marvel at Jimmehs posts please, especially keeping on topic with "mapping". We can see this 15 year old is going to do good for the future.
Edit 2: Jezpuh your edit was extremely late , that much so "scroll up" should be "look back at the previous comment on the first page". It also has no use to me what so ever, and you are just trying to make it appear less sarcastic so a moderator doesn't threaten to suspend you again. Hint, try and behave first time round.

Should I pm you the link to the post, or just that quote again? Should I email it to you? Give me your address and i'll write it out a thousand times and post each letter individiually.
Immaturity strikes the NS Forums, #nsmapping goons pft.
the rock texture in the same screen is very nice, me likes..
whos to say those are computers that needs operating or just a databank, hmm?
jimmeh, spacer and jezpuh, grow up... PLEASE!
I'm..
I'm not even gonna... jeez. You've missed the compliments that me AND jezpuh posted about 3 times. I'm staying the hell away from this thread before my head explodes.
Now, on topic...
<a href='http://jdleveldesign.hlgaming.com/images/ns_0004.jpg' target='_blank'>http://jdleveldesign.hlgaming.com/images/ns_0004.jpg</a> < That renders flashbangs useless, so try use lower brightness on the lights.
<a href='http://jdleveldesign.hlgaming.com/images/ns_0002.jpg' target='_blank'>http://jdleveldesign.hlgaming.com/images/ns_0002.jpg</a> < That grating looks so odd, makes the CC appear to hover without... ok, old reference.
Ok map overall though.
It's called being mature enough to take a situation in to hand.
The thing awful joke about flashbangs, leading to the spotlights was dealt with a while ago, I should have added that in my first post.

Like I asked, don't spam up the thread? Have something useful to say. I'm happy to hear and consider, just because you've come across as immature as a pre-teen doesn't mean I am biased or unwillingly to acknowledge anything worthwhile.
Emergency Broadcasting Systems
Emergency Notification Systems
Emergency Report Systems
etc.
In good time, I got quite alot of infestation work going on. It's going to link up with alot of heavy rock brush work so I got alot of detail and fiddly bits still yet to be done. Should be some nice screenshots coming in about a week, including a hive.
And crispy, is that meant to be something or are you joining in with the immature behaviour?
Edit: Apologies to Crispy for the above comment and assumption made. On behalf of my own defense, it's just there has been quite a bit of immaturity for no apparent reason what so ever, and seen as you didn't quite direct the text you posted I took the defensive approach, reading follow up replies made me realising it "is something" and not immaturity.
The map looks pretty nice, imo.
Jezpuh, I'd have thought that a temp suspension would have knocked some sense into you...
Spacer... just grow up... PLEASE. It's very easy to mis-read that "compliment" the way you worded it...
Jimmeh... dear lord... just go away...
To all- PLEASE refrain from scarin off new mappers and old ones getting back into it. I'm sure with a little work he'd get this thing into top shape And if he mis-reads your comment, don't go arse crazy monkey rape on him aight?
As far as the map... good work thus far <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Keep workin on it- only thing I don't agree with is computer access hallway- re-do that and make computer access a weld-open room... after all, never have I seen a bunch of computer terminals spread like that before <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Kinda be hard to use em without fallin on yer arse <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
