The planet is a little too big for my taste but on the other hand it's somewhat threatening. on the whole that map's based on a really nice idea but it just doesn't feel as alive as it might have - but hey: it's pretty nice for a first (ut) map though. so i'm kinda looking forward to what you might do next =) _Algol_ 02-21-2005 11:34 PM MST   Geez, tough crowd! =) Thanks for the comments--glad for the feedback. The bit w/ the Shiptech staticmeshes came up when I first put it out in beta. The look I was going for was, 'we came, we set up some lights and a computer bank, and then we vanished.' It does clash with the overwhelming nature/red rocks theme, but I wanted some sort of contrast in there. Next map? Hopefully in the next couple of months. -Thanks again- Fuzzy Logic 02-22-2005 12:55 PM MST Rating: 5.5   Very commendable for a first map. Plays ok and doesn't look too bad. Nice work.
