**Update: Map Pack #1 released. Download found here, or here.
**************************
As i mentioned in this thread, since the official map pack doesn't seem like it'll ever become a reality, i'm going to go ahead and create my own. The NS community could really benefit from an infusion of new (especially already available) content, so I'll take a week or two to look over the quality custom maps, and pack together the best.
The map pack will be split into two packs due to pending map updates, file size, and simplicity.
Map Pack 1:
---ns_enceladus: A nice, sprawling map with MS located in the middle of all 3 hives; has some very unique elements.
*Minimap fixed up.
---ns_rust_1_3: great map with a huge middle room. Lots of ambiance.
*Minimap fixed up.
---ns_achio_v2b5: Achio's come a long way and offers a ton of unique elements, along with some great design. Very solid space-station feel.
---ns_rampage: a classic custom map with great features.
*Minimap fixed up (thanks JazzX!)
---ns_hulk_b3: a sprawling map with stunning originality.
*Minimap fixed up.
Map Pack 2:
---ns_nexus_v2: A large map with a lot of vertical gameplay, a very original hive layout, a lot of detail, and an extensive vent system. Pending a new version with multiple updates.
---ns_saturn_b4: Very cool design which gives great visuals to support the feeling of a real, circular space station; novel design of double in the middle. Hopefully pending a new version with a siege fix.
---ns_source_b34: very nice map with great model work and a straightforward layout.
Ready to go, kept behind to fill out pack 2.
---ns_titan_b2: Very solid, never-seen-before map. Pending new version with small bugfixes.
Cut:
---ns_oasis.
Map Pack 1 will be released shortly, while Map Pack 2 is pending.
