the southern cross colony for living and mining.

wip hive excavation.

2 CC's or is one a puddle?
And it looks ok, not much to go off. More contrast in the lighting would be good from what i can see.

Yay first to reply

Oh: And you have to go through a hive to get to the top one?

Each Hive should have 2 walkable routes to the other/nearest Hive.

Are the weld points on the central room to close it off or make it accessible, either way there are gameplay problems with this idea.

the weld points will close it off.

I like how one hive doesn't even have a way of getting to it without going through a hive. Nice.

I wonder how your layouts always seem like such a mess. They look ugly and by the looks of it they must've been edited probably a hundred times and have its gaps filled up with the spray tool. I'm also amazed by the two cc's. Really, what the hell? Are you trying to make it unfair or something? Also, you can only get to the top hive by going through one of the other two hives. Control the two hives and you've got most aliens locked up.

Woo give it up to esuna for trolling.

Carioca I would comment but for some unknown reason out of my control your images never show up for me. I do not know if this is related to my ISP or not, however I will obtain the images and comment shortly.

fancoil hive and generator room have a vent interconecting, this vent will allow the aliens escape from midle hive and set up a atack to nearest hives like a back door.

i see too much lock gameplays at aliens in the flaw to hold the second hive, otherwise i see too much dead ends at marines doesnt holding the res nodes, but my solution is more res to marines with 2 nodes up and a possible double marines base or a single marines base providing a break at aliens rushes.

the 2 ms is my idea to bring a diferent way of play.

some times is amaze discover which is the alien hive, in the hera 2.0 we see amaze feeling at alien player in:
where is the marines base at ms or at hera entrance?

thaldarin i host up my image in another place i hope you can see now:

you can allways get a double ms, marines are more flexible then aliens in their base building

Double MS will mean that you can immediately drop an IP at either CC and cover the map more quickly with one of each of the 2 natural teams sweeping either side of the map.

I think the hidden Hive is a bad idea, but you could make it so that Marines have to weld a door to open a tertiary entrance to the Hive if you want to have a 'safe' Hive.

I have to say that 11 nodes are quite a lot for a relative small map like this.
Even a rather larger map like prometheus had some issues due to the high resnode count.
i would suggest to melot the both nodes of "supply cache" and "storage" together in the "apartments" area and "central pool" with "dehumidifier" in "generator"!
That way you would have 9 nodes, a better number for that size and all the nodes would be in a more combatant area.
Additionally there wouldn´t be two additional secure nodes for aliens, besides teh hives.

Double MS is a nerf, not a buff. It basicly means that if you beacon your marines get split between 2 rooms, which is not good. Either way, niether of the rooms is exeptionally workable for a relocate, so your basicly just forcing the rines to split thier res for no reason whatsoever.

As soon as I get in the chair first thing I'm doing is recycling the second CC.

now thats nice looking

This mine shaft looks realy nice add some railtracks and some carts it would look realy great . and about lights every ware white light add some blue or some thing.
