    Ns_Finn will be working towards an 'Alien v Alien' or 'Marine v Marine' map. Just to start making people develop those sort of maps. I do not mind the normal play just I would like to see a different mode of play soon <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I got the best question: Why don't you freaking post in english? ¬¬

    This is an english-only forum as I see it.

    I'm spanish too and I don't think it's necesary to make my posts completely unreadables for the rest of the members in this forum.

    PE has the sweetest maps I've ever seen.. For HL, of course. I wish we were allowed to make such detailed maps D:

    Maps keeping to a storyline is <b>good</b>. It means there is <b>continuity</b>, and show that some form of professionalism has been put into a mod, rather than the mod team spending ages on their mod, after which people continously try to break by making maps that don't fit.

    ONe way you could do a Marine v. Marine map is this: There is a marine commander that has gone rogue and has taken over a spaceship, a team of soldiers has been sent in to kill him and his squad of rebels. I would like to see a comm vs. comm match, that would be interesting. Plus, imagine seeing a marine, but not knowing if it's an enemy or a friend, that would be hilarious. Especially with FF on, lol.

    Hmm, so say that the TSA attacks an alien world some day.
    I can think of these few problems:

    <ul>
    <li>How does the alien world look? Before making such a map, shouldn't there be an agreement with the NS team about how it looks? After all, they designed the aliens. If someone is going to make an alien world map, that means this person will "set" the design for the alien world for the rest of the community, since nobody else knows what it looks like.
    <li>According to the <b>NS manual</b>, the reason there's a possibility to use a <i>commander</i>, is because - and I quote: <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The command network is a layer of multi-purpose nanos that spreads, root-like, just above all ceilings and overhangs. Micro-arrays of lenses, tiny packets of construction nanos, and hundreds of other nano-devices all tied into millions of relays and computing nodules – cohering into a pervasive, responsive system intimately connected to every aspect of its ship's or base's existence.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> So how would it be possible to use a commander in the aliens' homeworld?
    <li>3 hives in the aliens homeworld? If the marines attack the alien world, wouldn't they encounter a lot more hives? Also, if they attack the homeworld I don't think the aliens would be "starting" with only one hive and Skulks. There would be hundreds of hives, Onos and other badass things there. Why would the aliens start empty-handed in their own homeworld?
    <li>Finally, where would the resource nozzles be? Recalling the <b>NS manual</b>: <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Most ships or bases have carefully contained stores of "raw" nano-sludge, a mineral rich slop that can serve as the base material for any desired object. Nanotech assemblers are designed to accept this sludge, and this sludge only, as their fuel, and the building blocks for nano-construction.

    Stores of nano-sludge on ships or bases are called Resource Nodes.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    </ul>

    Although, I can think of a solution to the resource nozzle issue, and that would be cracks or holes in the ground that releases this <b>nano-sludge</b>, and it's the exact same sludge (now how did THAT happen?) as the one which is released by the resource nozzles in the ships/space stations.
    But since the commander issue (STORYLINE-WISE) can't be solved, having marines battling aliens on an alien planet is... Just not right.
