<div class="IPBDescription">Is this intended or a bug?</div> On ns_eclipse, if you take a stroll into Computer Core, you'll see over toward the entrance coming from Eclipse Comm an archway with tall computer pillars on either side (the last archway you go under before coming into the lower end of the room).
One of these pillars is hollow, this is well known. But did you know that if you climb up to the top of the pillar, staying on the side closest to the hive, there's a ledge or something up there?
I've sat on it and looked down, there isn't anything that appears to be holding you up. Is this a map bug or some strange feature?
As a side note, I was playing a game today where the marines had locked down all our hives with siege farms outside. I skulked my way into this spot, went gorg, and then built up to 100 res while the marines all went after Eclipse.
Needless to say, they were pleasantly surprised when Fades started rushing out of our base <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

most of them were released under time pressure.
That some parts of the model are outside of the own hull casues a lot of bugs (see in the void as onos, shoot trhough walls as dafe)
but this one is no bug. Its just an entitie with the flag (invisible from top down) made for a camping skulk and the commander.

KFS did the map. Orc is wrong.
Whoopsie.
What the <b><i><u>HELL</u></i></b> are you talking about?
When I copied the area across, I copied the overlay brush and not the solid brush behind it. There is supposed to be no hole; there is supposed to be no ledge... And for the love of god, there's not supposed to be floating non-solid glowing lights in the middle of thin air! I didn't notice this before final submission for a couple reasons. 1) the area behind is dark enough that at first glance the glows appear to be part of a proper overlay and 2) the overlay brush in WC gave the illusion of a solid area behind it.
Personally, I kind of liked it as a hiding spot, but I'll bow to KFS on this one. (:
