I see in the changelog that veil was updated, but I don't see any of the other maps Like caged and the various onos problems Hera and the siege 2 hives from processing
Are these fixed and not in the changelog? Or have the maps not been resubmitted?

I know Tanith has been changed. I also saw in a thread KungFuSquirrel promised to do something with the elevators in ns_nothing and possible a new maintenace hive in ns_eclipse

Well, the combat maps are getting updated a lot. And if the ns_nancy remake is finished on time, we can test that too <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
The point is that there is no way for an onos to get inbeween the other 2 hives and furnace without going through either marine start, or double res making furnace nearly untakeable if the rines take furnace and then bunker down double and start (which is a VERY common stratagy on any map for other inherant reasons). It also makes your hive network impossible to defend if you start in furnace and rines get double.
I have to agree onos have it way too hard in ns_origin especially when aliens have vent and rines have double. Well at least with the next version onos wont have as much trouble getting out of vent via Dbl as they wont fall backwards if they dont time crouch anymore to get off the ladder. Bodgy anti onos ladders was a HMGers best friend.
And if you mined the top of the ladders insta gib onos.
MC is a definate for that map. I usually get flamed for MC first on that map but people understand in the end and it breaks the monotony of DMS.
Biodome hive is also, without a doubt, the worst designed hive ever. The elevators just sing Fish-In-A-Barrel-Time. God help you if the marines relocate in there, you'll have one hell of a hard time getting in there with anything bigger then a lerk.

Yeh but the thing is if they do relocate there aliens can lock em in nice and tight. And if they build too close to the elevators you can Bile bomb them quite easily.
But i must agree fish-in-a-barrel does sorta pop into your head when your in it.

Hera is a real trouble map for me. If they don't fix the major problems in the map like double sieging from processing, or the incredibly annoying vent hive layout, i don't see its popularity exactly soaring. I find it baffling that bast's source file was lost after nancy's was. You would think there would have taken more precautions ( ms needs a serious rethink ).
