<div class="IPBDescription">New dropship idea</div>So, in some maps there is dropship, right? And ofcourse, many of the mappers might have been influenced by Alien movies too much <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> So you've made it more or less similiar with the ship in Aliens movie. Now these are just guesses. I couldn't possibly know.
So my idea comes here: In near future the TSA have invented and produced new type of Personal Assault Dropship. This PAD is quite small, under 2 meters high ball. a marine gets in it(its very tight there), and a whole squad of marines can be shot from orbit in the PAD's. The cons in these PAD's are that they can be shot fast in to places where a normal large sized Dropship can't land. So these PAD's just fly thru the air(or space) and then some small rockets(or even a small parachute) lowers the speed. And when on ground, the marines just get fast off these and they are ready to rumble. After the marines have done their job, they get back in the PAD's and they close the hatches. After that a collector ship with strong magnets flies over them and collects the PAD's and takes them back to orbit where they can be launched fast and accurately into places where there might not be any landing pad for pretty big dropships.
Now I remember how someone(can't remember who),were making a map with outdoor scenery thru glass of the base. Mountains and rocks and canyons. So i thought maybe he could put some of these PAD's in to the ground. Okay, this is just a cosmetic thing to adjust in NS maps but I've been thinking this for so long that I just wanted to bring it out. Take it or leave it <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Terawatt_99, I think you may be describing badmofo's map.
Badmofo had something like this in his map, personally i don't like the concept that much, it's just not suited for landings on planets, unless it's some sort of planet with lots of water...
Ahhh, whatever, as long as the mod comes out asap. Say in 2 weeks?
Sory, my bad. Im not english or american really <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> And I wrote this at 0300 in the morning. Got those mixed up.
And for the record, I've never played Quake 2 <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> Im always late, they got the idea before me <!--emo&:angry:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'><!--endemo--> Grrr <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
