And I haven't even played it yet. 30 seconds on a LAN game and I found this...

    For the shake of more provoking conversation. How's docking been for everyone?
    (I still haven't got to play yet but can you leave you opinion on...)

    Performance? (compared to other maps try not to let server lag influence score)
    Balance?
    Aesthetic appeal?
    General fun?

    My performance in docking is rather bad, like sub 15fps with a single skulk in face bad. I love the map and update overall though.

    Two things about docking:
    One vent near the onos bar is untextured inside.
    On the outdoor area where the ship docks, skulks can walk on the invisible skybox.

    Map is cool to look at. It's pretty bad to play in.

    A couple of the vents are untextured.

    The lighting on the 'heliport' is weird. It's kind of light blue on the spaceship and players but everything else is red.

    In the gym, one of the beer cans is floating on the table.

    I disagree.

    I've had more fun playing on this then I have with any other map so far

    -The music and lighting in the thirsty onos is kind of annoying, but I guess it's supposed to look like a bar.

    Maybe put a switch a-la ns1 to toggle the jukebox or something?

    - I really like the size / encounter areas on this map. Nice long hallways, big open rooms for jps, and a big enough map that both sides can tech up to a reasonable level even when everything is heavily contested.

    Also the music in the thirsty onos keeps cutting out during a firefight.

    I love this map also... a big problem I find (i do have a really crappy laptop though) is that I can't distinguish between players and the walls/environment. Especially as marines on the industrial maps.

    I think this should change somewhat.

    Perhaps when you shoot an alien, the hud starts to track it and gives them slightly glowing outlines?

    why can't you land on the container hanging from the crane in the central area? it seems like a cool spot for skulks to ambush or for gorges to lame up with hydras, but you just slide off it :( where's the freedom, UWE?

    Without taking a look at it, the model probably has the default collisions, which tend to be awful, so the space between the cables/chains in the middle will block bullets too, probably. This is not a map problem, it's a model problem.

    Edit: Yup, it's even worse.

    Yeah, it's probably that then I guess. would like to be able to climb on it in future though, it was the first thing I tried when I saw it!

    I'm agree with Rowen: this map is maybe good for Counter Strike but absolutly not for NS. I have tested Triad, and i think this kind of map is much better. However the ambiance "less dark" is not bad.

    I noticed an issue while testing Insight on docking.

    There are 2 tech points in Locker Rooms. I'm not sure if they're overlapping or where the second one is, but I'm 99% sure this is a map issue.

    Yep, I just found there's a second tech point in there, hidden under the "Sounds" layer.

    Yes, when the sound files for the map were copied over at kind of the last minute, all of the entities on the map ended up being duplicated. We tried to find all of them before the patch release, but must have missed this one. It's fixed already.

    Is it just me or is the outdoor area so big that if an alien/rine/building is on the other side of it from me their model vanishes? Maybe I have to crack up my graphics settings?

    I'd check over the doors; some of them appear to be duplicated. I walked through a door to see a partially-smashed one occupying the same space.
