<div class="IPBDescription">it just a test atm</div> Ok the map is a big mine with spaceship at the other side and i will make it look like a space ship with clean textures, computers with monitors and more bright lights.
In to mines i will make rooms with machines, pumps and everything what a good mine should have.
Vents, pipes, maybe water somewhere, (rusty)metallic walls and stuff. Bit darker than the space ship.
Hive areas with infested textures and dark lightning.

I made a map earlier but it got unplayable very early and i got better idea for the map now,or is it good?
Please tell me what sucks and what is good. I did not want to make another "space station alphadelta 123"
So i got idea of making a mine. Is it proper for NS and is the hive and resource positioning balanced and so on.

This is really just the start and much of the picture will change,it is just the basic idea but i think i will make a
good map out of it.

Story not finished. But i got something out of my head.... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Miners had been dissapearing from the mine and TSA was send to see what happened to the miners.
Thehee that was awesome! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    :O... well its along the lines of sometig i wanted to do..but my idea is a little different. mine is taking place totally on a mining colony..with the mining colony itself been abandoned and the mines in dire need of repair...it has a big track(rails) that run almsot thru the entire map, but with certain areas that have collapsed so its not a straight tunnelway...lots of atmosphere..kinda along the lines of (Red Faction) iwth the mine shaving an actual living quarters and such....I'll try to have some pics of it up soon..name is tentatively called "ns_redemption"

    you just want to be careful letting the marines seal off the ship, that can get dangerous for gameplay

    Looks interesting. Only one thing you should be very careful of. The excavation hive is much closer than the others. This will lead to marines rushing that hive every game. Try to space them a little more evenly or at least give the marines a shorter path (approx. same distance to excavation) to another hive to give them a choice.

    It may seem like less distance from birds-eye view, but walking distance seems about equal with the top hive. Far right hive may be a bit too far.

    Great concept/idea quazilin, hope it goes well. I think a break from the usual 'space station alphadelta 123' would be fun.

    Here might be an idea:

    If you allow the marines to lock themselves inside the ship, make sure to place a breakable pt. on the outer hull that allows entry. If you don't like the idea of aliens breaking into the ship that way, how about via the landing gear? Hope that helps a little.
