</ul>

Also Im not very good at mapping infact Im terribile at it but im pretty decent for layouts when I get closer to getting the design done anyone interested in actually flushing it out?

I bet you can do it, Just get your layout, then start posting and I'll help you flesh it out.

Cay

lemme try and scan in the marine start.

-edit- Goes in search of scanner drivers ARG!

Cay

ok this is just a ruff of the Dockingbay section of a 4 level Space station

LVL1 = Dockingbay and marine start

LVL2 = Research labs and Business center

LVL3 = Cargo storage and Waste stations

LVL4 = Observitory.

One thing you'll possibly not want to hear is that NS can't do multi-level maps, because of the commander mode. Essentially you have to make your level in 2D.

well back to the drawing board =p

Cay

or mabey not. Ill just have to make it with branch out into sections instead of levels.

No, there isn't any hard-coded limit to how many nozzles a map can have, but use common sense. For instance, it's good to put nozzles in rooms or places that you want players to fight in, but not every room needs a node.

As of now, no, aliens will spawn at a random hive. When scripting becomes available to the mappers, it may be possible, but for now, there's no way to force aliens to spawn at a particular hive.
