    looking good blueman, the pics are a bit too small for my liking, and it makes it a little hard to make out all the details, but it is very good in general, maybe elevate the resource node outta the water on the 2nd pic, those textures are screwed on the lump of infestation in the 1st pic (align to World) and maybe just a tad more lighting contrast in one or two of the pictures.

    Your commander view seems pretty high up in that last shot... All in all, I really like these!  The ventilation hive looks great, but some advice:

    1) Flay's not a big fan of trigger_hurts, and in a high-action area like a hive the last thing you want to have to worry about is falling to your death.

    2) That said, make sure those pits are either escapable (water at the bottom and a ladder out, perhaps), inaccessible (a grate over them, perhaps), or deadly (big honkin' fan at the bottom).  If it's safe to go down, make a way back out for non-climbers/fliers.  If it's not safe, make sure it *looks* dangerous - don't make a nice flat floor and lay a trigger_hurt on top of it.

    My personal advice:
     No matter what, close at least half of them with grates or infestation.  The open ones could be left open (e.g. grates lifted up and leaning against the wall, maybe), or perhaps torn/broken open.
     If there are fans at the bottom, make sure to put trigger_hurts at the bottoms of the open ones.
     If there is flat ground at the bottom, maybe make one of them have water in it, (you can use a particle system from a broken pipe overhead as an explanation for why it's flooded) - in fact, I'd put at least a little water in all the open ones, so a marine who falls in won't die.  And make sure you have ladders back out.

    Ok, I talk too much.  Looks great!

    i really like that cargo hive room there...  other parts look ok, but a little bland.  also, i think you may have level-over-level problems in the one pic

    coil, i like your ideas, yes i have them now all as dead fall. but i like the idea of making only some of them open. and maybe i can make that one of them leads to another route in/out the hive.

    tommyd i dont understand you when you say thaa bout the level over level in the one pic. if youre meaning the 6º one, im about to destroy that, cause with the new design it has no meaning. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    ive been doing a bit more and now the little corridor in pic 5 has its exit in the upper part, while the dowen part will become a wall. The new desing looks a lot better now. but i think im gonna start another ns_map for testing other tthings ive got in mind <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    when u see a curve, a bit closer, its not exactly a curve, but a wall with many faces, u got a square, and u cut all the verticles, and when u have done that,  u get a simple curve, the more faces u give to it, the more "circular" it is.........

    back to the topic......
    nice pics, and the ideas that coil gave are really nice ones, u should implement it, nice map <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
