    You have some really great architecture there.  I'm also noticing the monochromatic motif you've got going here.  Everything seems to be in shades of grey, and as such, those blue monitors really seem to stick out.  Nice work.

    Looks great Timberwolf. It reminds me of an area in bast, which of course is a good thing.

    There isn't much contrast in the lighting, but I think the contrast of the colors kind of make up for it. That's why everyone liked the corridor in bast that used the same syle even though it was so bright. Contrasting colors.

    Edit - I'm sorry everyone, if it sounds like all I ever talk about is contrast this contrast that... It's just that I beleive that it is one of the key features that makes NS levels so different from other hl levels. That's the first thing that caught my eye the first time I saw a NS screenshot on PHL. I didn't realise it at the time of course, but that's what it was.

    Thats really really cool. I love the whole dark grey spooky industrial motif. Really looks cool and futuristic, but not the cheesy, overly colorful futuristic sometimes pictured.

    Looking good, I like the mostly greyish look too! But as you said, lighting is to come, so I will wait on it. Arhitexture looks good with the hallway arches in the shape of the door and all. No boxy rooms, all nicely done. Only pointer in the monitors in the final shot look a little squished <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Keep up the good work1

    Yes!  Timberwolf is back on track. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Looking great, as usual.  I'm betting no one will notice anyway (mostly because the font is so hard to read), but the wall panels with the logo on them have the bast logo, and the text reads "UCC BAST".  But if you don't mind, I don't either! <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->  Maybe they made the colony from surplus bast parts. hehe.

    looks good man.  as the lighting is not completed, please allow me a few suggestions.  the lighting is very blunt right now.  there is very little showdowing.  i would suggest cutting back on some of those lights, and directing the focus of the remainders.  creat a good balance between light and dark.  perhaps a little different coloring to the lights too.  i notice a lot of people using differnt blues, reds, and some yellows.  haven't seen much green yet, so if you want to be a bit different...  i think that based on the look right now, any color light would look good.

    tell me, how did you make the hallway the same shape as the door? did you just carve it? or did you spend the time shaping it by hand?

    Damn you Relic.  You said the only thing I wanted to say about this map!  Everything else looks just brilliant (except for the lighting being too bland, but you've already noted this).

    No problem!  You can work it into your map's story however you'd like.  Just in case it wasn't made clear somewhere at some point, the UCC Bast is a mining/ore processing ship.  Other than that, feel free to be creative as you want!  There's no reason it couldn't be a Bast colony too. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    HOnestly, what would scare teh sh1t outta me in this area would be if it were really dark with few functioning lights and a flickering light or two. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> one comment thou, the corridors do seem to be a little cramped, like the marines would have to move in single file throughout most of these areas, which isn't too conductive to teamplay, 'cause it's whoever is in front that ends up doing most of the killing, and the ones behind him take his place when he dies....

    I agree, contrast really sets this mod and its maps apart, Its def important.  OH YEAH, and who the heck said the marines would be doin the killin???   BTW, great map, Im just starting and now I really appreciate other's mapping work, speacially when its good  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Even in a cramped corridor, there's enough room for four blazing guns.  2 offset in front, crouched, and 2 offset behind, standing.  It's just a technique that marines will have to learn. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->  If you're the point man and a fight breaks out, crouch so the guy behind can fire over you!

    I always crouch when I fire anyway.. its wlays more accurate.  Or will that not be the case in NS?
