  You've definitely got a busy ceiling there, and that's a good thing.  I'd say thaty this area looks just too plain as far as lighting is concerned.  The detail is good here.  I can remember from your previous shots that you had a lot of brightness going for you, and I'm sure that this should fit in with the style you had (if you don't abandon it too much).  Nice to see you're still working on Snake.

  it appears that all of the lighting is the same color.  i would suggest toning down the brightness a bit to reflect the many different colors you have with the lighting.

  Right, this shot looks a bit too bright for my personal tastes. Great architecture though. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
  
  I notice that you have simple point based lights in front of the light fixtures. While this looks cool on the light itself, the current brightness setting you have on them seems to wash out all the rest of the color in the room.
  
  If I were in your shoes, I would either make the light textures emit light through the .rad file, or bring down the brightness of the point lights.
  
  Looks like you have 200 for brightness? I would suggest 100 at the most in a smallish room like this.
  
  Looking foward to seeing more of this map.

  I like the colors a lot, very good usage of them.
  But like they said, add more light contrast.

  You know what would look great with thsi room?
  Add a particle system that creates soem sort of fog, like Greedo showed once (that way you work around the env_fog probs). Then light your room with green light and make it like 50 % darker, that would look cool, but then again thsi is marine part , so mayeb you oughta keep that for the alien side?
