Some of that lighting looks abit bland. By the door and the railing, if it is a 'light' it may benifit to change it to a light_spot of some sort. Especially above that door, you could have two aimed at about -75. It think that could work well.
BUT... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
-The shaft-thing in the middle doesn't go down very far, it just ends at a black texture. I suggest you lengthen it down a good deal to make it look like its nice and long.
-The blue light thingies at the top of the shaft dona lookie to good, and they don't emit blue light!
-That metal floor texture is getting SERIOUSLY overused by a lot of mappers. Change it to something less plain and more original.
-The detailed textures on the floor around the shaft-thing might look neat up there, but might not look good when you're running on top of them. Maybe you could put a grating down?
-Lighting is very cool, but make sure you make some darker and less ambient areas outside of Marine Start (and in the Alien areas, too, of course!)
Well if you have every been to - A foundry, a powerplant, a factory, or many other similar things you will relized that that grated flooring is like the MOST widly used style in EVERWHERE!
And since mappers are doing alot of maps based on this types of places it would only makes sense that that style flooring would be widly used, i think it looks fine considering he used SO many other textures in the room.
I stick by all my other suggestions though.
it was shure purty.
i'm eager to see what u have in store for us
