<div class="IPBDescription">Coming Sept. 15th ya know.</div> This is my 4th Natural Selection map. I have never released one before but I am planning on releasing this one.
Ns_Ghost takes place on Ghost Satellite #115. In the year 2028 the Mars Expedition is just taking off. Manned Surveillance Satellites have been orbiting Mars for a decade now and the Atmospheric Production Simulator shows that there is a good chance that the atmosphere of Mars can be stabilized enough for the ordinary human to breathe unaided on it's Surface.
In this time of great joy an unexpected dip in the road has occured. Transmissions between Sat. #115 and Earth have died out and the Computer A.I., B.O.B. (Binary Operating Benchmarker) is reporting breeches in several areas.
The Marines - always the first in and the last out of every major U.S. conflict are sent in.
The Marines will be arriving in Pods. Each of the pods have their own names and unique attributes, some would call this an easter egg, I call it a unique game element. The Pods can hold two Marines Each.
The Landing Area where they come in is located above the Marine Start so this could make for some interesting Distress Beacon situations. Since the info_team_starts are all above where the Aliens would be attacking the base a fade rush may not work as well as it used to.
Ns_Ghost also is going to have a Transit system that can transport the Rines wherever they want. Another Unique Game feature.
Take a look at the shots below. Enjoy!

Yes just once it's atrigger once that makes it appear that they are coming down when really they are in a pod with no windows that is rumbling and making an entrance noise. If someone joins after the pod has come down then they will simply appear in the downed pod.
And no my Transit system was lost when my computer locked up during a compile but here's some more screens.
~DarkATi
Lookin' forward to new transit. (NS bast seems to hint it though, who knows)
Uh, Fiction.
Yeah.
~DarkATi
P.S. I thought the "Complete Idiot's Guide to Being a Good Commander" was a nice touch!
~DarkATi
Huh?
*Oh well, he's a Mad Man anyway!*
He he. No seriously though, what do you mean by that?
