Definitely one of my favorite maps from NS1. @Remedy, any updates on this? From the first post it looks like v05 is the latest version which was released last July. Of course, no pressure either way , I understand that you're doing this on your own free time, without any form of compensation. And, for that, I will love you forever.
Eclipse has been for PT's eyes only for a while now and the recent screenshots I've put will most likely be the last you guys will be seeing. Also any updates on eclipse for public access won't happen, you'll have to wait for the official release. Which is coming ever closer as a possibility.
ITS LIKE THAT IS IT!!?! OUR FEEDBACK ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU ANYMORE IS IT!??! huh?.... all that wasted dribble!
But on a serious note it certainly does deserve the official treatment! its looking really nice and it is my favorite ns1 map . Congrats. The sooner its out the better!

Sounds like maybe this will become an official map. If so, good for you.
doesnt sound to me like he said it would be an offical map, play testers could just be people he knows who are willing to test it and public release doesnt mean it will be a part of the offical map line up. Hopefully though if it plays as well as it looks it will become an offical map but it isnt the impression i got from reading his post.

My feeling that it will become an official map is because Remedy said it was unlikely he would release any more screenshots, which is the same thing that happened with Mineshaft when UWE took on SgtBartlow/Mineshaft as an official map - all further public updates ceased so it can be a nice surprise to the community when it's done.
Maybe I'm wrong, but from the quality that Remedy has shown on the map in this thread, I doubt it.

Any update on what is happening with this map? Been underwraps for a LONG time now!! Is the project dead or can we expect UWE to show us all its glory?
The good news is that the map is still being worked on. The bad news is that it doesn't look much like eclipse anymore...
To be expected really. Alien commander and power ndoes force every map to be the same. You can't have a hive location like maintenance in this game. Another reason why I didn't want this map to actually become official, I knew it would be butchered.
conclusion:
1.) darkness based map title (~eclipse): ns2_lunar ?
2.) simple completly new map title (representing the map location titles): ns2_powerplant ? (because of some screen with really large energy pillars)

(I just couldn't tell you how far as long it is due to you know secret internal stuffs. :P)
Oh well, even changed it has to be better than mineshaft/refinary. Fingers crossed it isn't too different

there is a ingame news-texture about a planet in ns2 ? maybe we use something based on this ?
> Aegir 7
> Baldr 5
> Dias Alto 9
but all names in ns2 are simple:
> docking - landing, arrival
> mineshaft - mining, processing
> refinery - lava / processing
> summit - climax
> tram - trains - goods: warehouse, logistics, elevator, server, warehouse, train: repair
> veil: remake (map title based on natural selection 1)
locations of eclipse (based on beta release months ago):
> Access West / Alpha
> Computer Core
> Core Access
> Eclipse
> Generator Monitor
> Horseshoe
> Keyhole
> Maintenance
> Powerline
> T-Junction
> Triad
> Southloop
