good map

It was fun during the pugs played on it, you'll get a lot of feedback after week 7

Carnaxus · February 2005

OK PPL LISTEN UP...DARKNESS IS NOT A BAD THING NOR IS IT A GOOD THING WHEN IT COMES TO PLAYING...it's just THERE...it's a part of the ATMOSPHERE...think about this. If you're in the middle of space, and the aliens have taken over the POWER CORE...do you really expect the map to be bright? Well?

Also, an opinion is an opinion, and no opinion can ever be called "wrong."

To each, his or her own opinion is correct.

So there.

Can we please moderate this a bit more or something?

Aight, I'll continue the list

#1) Flashlight
#2) Double Tap the dark spot to check
#3) Motion Tracking
#4) LISTEN before you pass
#5) Pay attention to what's behind you- DO NOT get caught unawares
- This means check yer six once every few moments
#6) LISTEN while you walk- you can hear a non-silence skulk from miles away
#7) Move in a group- let someone ELSE cover your butt
#8) Lob a Hand Nade just for kicks and giggles
#9) Go and KNIFE the spot
#10) be an all around good player and go where the COMMANDER tells you to go, NOT where you want to go die

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (Lt Gravity @ Feb 16 2005, 12:32 PM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> took a look at the map. its quite a decent piece of work, only thing I personaly dont like: we are onboard a starship... there are too few functional elements in te map <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

what I realized during walktrough (didnt read all the posts so some things could have been mentioned already):
- the stairs and the catwalk in reservoir seem to hover
- observatory is a very nice hive. heaven for skulks, hell for marines.. and btw for onos, too.
- J-turn catches my eye. this "golden" lightning is amazing.
- marinestart: you have a hard time to build structures on the higher part near the cc. you should fix that.
- north of hangar hive: you are able to build on the little free space abouve the airduct. skybox :/
- and I like the hangar door, too!!!
- the room with glass windows at one hive (forgot the name) is a nice idea but I dont think it will work to your complete satisfaction. its just too... dunno...  </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

I use the gamma setting that comes with NS to get it just right, to how its supposed to be. Is that bad or something? Competitive maps <i>should</i> have dark spots where players can hide and ambush. Its not our fault if a marine doesnt feel like clicking on his flashlight to look in a dark corner if he cant descern if anything is there or not. Only takes a couple of seconds.

Anyways, I love the map. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> Keep up the <s>good</s> <u><s>great</s></u> <b>godly</b> work, I'm currently trying to learn and get back into mapping myself.

Just had a war on orbital then. Found it quite surprisingly easy to learn the map names and places. Very nice design and great fun to play on.

Freddeh · February 2005

Ok first ill commenton the map. Its a great map i really don't think it needs many changes if any...awesome job phunk!

Aight, now I'll comment on this list thingy

#1) Flashlight
And stand there like a beacon have fun with that...

#2) Double Tap the dark spot to check
Ammo waster and this method works better against cloakers :|

#3) Motion Tracking
Mt will have no affect unless you were paying attention before you even entered the room

#4) LISTEN before you pass
Can't hear an unmoving skulk

#5) Pay attention to what's behind you- DO NOT get caught unawares
- This means check yer six once every few moments
You check your six right as you pass...you turn around then the next second walk walk chomp chomp good-bye

#6) LISTEN while you walk- you can hear a non-silence skulk from miles away
Maybe if you are far enough from the dark spot, but if you are that far away the skulk can't do much anyway <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

#7) Move in a group- let someone ELSE cover your butt
Pub much with good marines that can do this? The skulk will most likely still get a kill

#8) Lob a Hand Nade just for kicks and giggles
You get hand grenades?

#9) Go and KNIFE the spot
Insta-death...worst point of the 10

#10) be an all around good player and go where the COMMANDER tells you to go, NOT where you want to go die
And the commander tells you to set up siege right next to that really dark spot...you're starting to reach into thin air now...

Anyway Great map phunk and good luck with all the feedback from week 7 CAL-NS!!!! weeeee

P.S. there ARE some dark spots...or darker than the bright spots...skulks can hide in that area between PEN-15 nozzle and cargo...and the skulks DON'T HAVE TO BE UNSEEABLE TO AMBUSH FFS!

P.P.S. This post COULD use a split...

P.P.P.S. Sorry for the threadocracy as well <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

AvengerX · February 2005

thats a really nice map... we need more maps like that and less maps like Siege

BigD · February 2005

Quite the map. I've played it about 4-5 times now. Not the prettiest map I've ever seen but not the worst by any means either. Being so small, there is a lot of action going on all the time and it was quick to learn. I think your goal of "balance" has been accomplished pretty nicely. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Zerotech · February 2005

I must admit thats a wonderful map youve created there, I sincerely hope it becomes released for beta 6.

Btw I've pracced on this map and I have to say it's pretty good map to war on.

Lt_Gravity · February 2005

there is only one problem: EVERYBODY says things like "I <u>hope</u> it gets official."

guys, just hoping isnt enough. if you feel connected to this map in any way you could do a lot more. like advertising the map in irc channels, other forums, telling mates about it or even take it into servercycles. just hoping doest help anybody... the ns team has to be convinced, too.

Karunel · February 2005

Awesome map, just D/Led and had a walk around it and it's quite nice. As said silly skulks will have a hard time but there're lots of spots to hide in, can't wait to play it somewhere. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Jmmsbnd007 · February 2005

I love the map phunk, it's the first map that I've ever liked right off the bat, official or not. It should be included in beta 7 (?).

carioca · March 2005

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /> i felt in the cargo bay and cant climb up out.
some palces loose signs or are too much dark or dont have ladder to go up gorge will be easy targets.
marines dont have good line of sight.
