Comments
And it looks ok, not much to go off. More contrast in the lighting would be good from what i can see.
Yay first to reply <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Oh: And you have to go through a hive to get to the top one?
Are the weld points on the central room to close it off or make it accessible, either way there are gameplay problems with this idea.
Carioca I would comment but for some unknown reason out of my control your images never show up for me. I do not know if this is related to my ISP or not, however I will obtain the images and comment shortly.
fancoil hive and generator room have a vent interconecting, this vent will allow the aliens escape from midle hive and set up a atack to nearest hives like a back door.
i see too much lock gameplays at aliens in the flaw to hold the second hive, otherwise i see too much dead ends at marines doesnt holding the res nodes, but my solution is more res to marines with 2 nodes up and a possible double marines base or a single marines base providing a break at aliens rushes.
the 2 ms is my idea to bring a diferent way of play.
some times is amaze discover which is the alien hive, in the hera 2.0 we see amaze feeling at alien player in:
where is the marines base at ms or at hera entrance?
thaldarin i host up my image in another place i hope you can see now:

Let the developers worry about balance and let the players worry about holding a second hive. The alien team's inability to operate well is their problem, and not something that should be tackled when creating the map, since all you're doing is creating a map that's unbalanced in one team's favour.
Oh and Thursday, i'm sorry if pointing out a glaringly obvious error and probable game-breaking issue with the map is considered trolling, i must be such a troll.

so the double ms isnt a trouble but the hide hive is?
I think the hidden Hive is a bad idea, but you could make it so that Marines have to weld a door to open a tertiary entrance to the Hive if you want to have a 'safe' Hive.

I merely assumed that it was an oversight, i didn't think anyone would put in two CC's and not think of it as a bad idea.
Even a rather larger map like prometheus had some issues due to the high resnode count.
i would suggest to melot the both nodes of "supply cache" and "storage" together in the "apartments" area and "central pool" with "dehumidifier" in "generator"!
That way you would have 9 nodes, a better number for that size and all the nodes would be in a more combatant area.
Additionally there wouldn´t be two additional secure nodes for aliens, besides teh hives.
As soon as I get in the chair first thing I'm doing is recycling the second CC.
you can allways get a double ms, marines are more flexible then aliens in their base building

i could do what you say, but i'm in doubt if i do:
1)i could turn generator a conection for dehumidifier by welding and another welding to central pool to generator.
2)turn generator a sige room for fancoil.

I have to say that 11 nodes are quite a lot for a relative small map like this.
Even a rather larger map like prometheus had some issues due to the high resnode count.

(i would suggest to melot the both nodes of "supply cache" and "storage") this will break the flow to those rooms; i would do this but with the nodes at melter and cafeteria to apartments look more natural.
(and "central pool" with "dehumidifier" in "generator"!)
the map will look too much marine friendly with all nodes far way from hives.
i built a new layout where you can see i melot the nodes at cafeteria and melter not to apartments but to generator.

Double MS is a nerf, not a buff. It basicly means that if you beacon your marines get split between 2 rooms, which is not good. Either way, niether of the rooms is exeptionally workable for a relocate, so your basicly just forcing the rines to split thier res for no reason whatsoever.

swift i know about split marines but this will work better than spaw all marines at the same room to be butchered.
half marines spaw in the other room can set a counter atack at a hive aliens, a relocate base or phase trough to safe the other base.
if other thinks this is a trouble i could include a hallway or ladder conection between ms's in place of that weld vent.

the middle hallway by welding will bring some choices to comander, he could weld that and open the pass to a double ms, or keep close and turn his base only acess for 2 ways.
i remvoe the apartments vents weldings.
the welding to near fancoil room to generator could be one at alien side, both or none this is my doubt.
