<div class="IPBDescription">Another map? Sure. But it's getting done</div> Alright! You know me, the nefarious Recoup making another nefarious map that raises conspiracy theories, questions, and causes divorce widespread across the Natural Selection Community.
HOWEVER! I am working in conjunction with Deadite Grunt, a friend of mine (though he is off the radar most of the time) who worked previously on the Adia Recreation Modification, which is now on hold since we cant find a texture artist. Bah!
Well regardless, let me show you exactly what we have done thus far.
This first picture is marine start, in all of it's glory.

This second picture connects marine start to another room that leads into the third picture. This, other room, is not yet completed.

This last picture is the third room I mentioned, and I'm not entirely sure where I will have it lead to after I am completed with it. It still has work to be done with it, but I'm sure that work will be finished soon.

On space stations, you don't waste space.

Yet you waste space with skylights? Anyway, it looks pretty good, although there are some texturing issues (especially with the pillars and the glass). It might be a bit cramped in the 'third' picture, but i'm not sure. Also maybe could you increase your -gamma? Even just a little, i think the map would look alot better if the lighting was a bit more contrasted and there were darker shades. (Increase env_gamma if you must to compensate <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->).
skylight isnt a waste, because you save your power cells.
you dont waste power, lightining up the room.

Depends on where it's situated. If it's a spaceship, chances are there isn't going to be much light coming in unless you're (dangerously) close to a star. If it's a spacestation, it can't be day all the time, can it?
Anyway, that's some nice work Recub. Now eat your food once you've finished your guitar lessons. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Fixed.
But do work on the texture alignment, it really distracts when its completely out of order on such a large object.
And what guitar lessons, brute force? And who is Recub?
Anyhow, I'll jack the gamma up to 1.5, since Belg said it would look very nice with such a tone.

How is the onos movement in the 3rd picture 1st post? Keep this big space cow in mind, I made the mistake once of only walking arround as a marine or skulk. To come to the conclusion that the onos just didn't have enough room to manouvre.
Kept getting stuck on small things like 2 boxes which look like I could get trough there, only to not being able to move forward. --> Example of the 2nd screenshot you posted, the boxes in the back.
Just a thing to keep in mind <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Oh I like it btw the architecture is cool, the texturing could use some very minor fixing and the lighting could use spots and shadows. I like shadows!!!
I'll have to see about Shadows, but I will however move some of the boxes so its large enough for an Onos to run amok in the facility. Good call, I didn't really think about that. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The three I'm going to list below are "done" I should say. Besides minor touches, they could be thrown into the game with no possible problems. They are marine start (obviously) and the three below:

<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>And now</span> Is the new room that will become an extended hallway to link up with another side of the map. Its not done yet, but with your help and suggestions, I can get it to that point. I will <span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>probably</span> change the blue computer panels over on the wall however. Please welcome:

are you serious?
I like the lighting though. its not that "SUPER STYLE!" used on other maps but simple and clear. looks much more realistic if you ask me. only thing: I dont like crates. the always looking cheep. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The red lighting in most of the rooms comes from the sunroof and glass windows, with "light_environment" entity there to back up the color coming from the windows.
EDIT: I'll put you guys to the challenge. Find something to spice up this here floor other than crates, and I'll impliment it if I feel like it really contributes. =)

I would go for some grating in the floor with pipes behind it perhaps with some lights, just to break up the floor architecture. And maybe add a computer console/desk in the middle of the room, to have something for our friendly neighbourhood skulks to hide behind in stead of the boxes...
Maybe an Emergency Medical Hologram ala Voyager?
