Updated to Beta 5

This is a 2-8 player deathmatch arena (22 spawn points total). The map consists of three major areas connected by a wide-open loop. Every weapon except the penguins is present, although the more powerful weapons take extra effort to get.

The map also contains a set of power-ups. 2 Regens, 2 Longjumps, 2 Armors, and 1 Death rune.

This map needs playtesting! Please help!

WARNING: Designed for Natural Selection Version 1.04 (may not work correctly on current version of NS)

Description: The TSA has recieved an Emergency Distress Beacon (EDB) from the cargo ship Kobayashi Maru. Acording to the ships log, the ship began to lose power in it's starboard engine and veared off coarse. Now both engines have stalled and the ship is adrift in Gamma-Hydra Section Ten. The ships security and bio-monitoring equipent has identified the presence of Kahraa bacteria, but that it is contained in the rear of the ship. Normally a ship this small and it's crew would simply be sacraficed, but TSA has ordered the ship recovered. The cryo units on the ship are still intact and the crew are still alive. TSA intellence believes the Kahraa were being smuggled aboard the ship by one of the crew. It is imparative that we regain control of that ship so that we can rescue and then interogate the crew.

Game Type: Marines vs. Aliens

Status: On hold Pending Natural Selection: Source

Mappers Note: This map started with a basic concept: Build the whole ship. It evolved into a different style of NS map all together. It was designed to be perfectly balanced between the two teams, allowing both to reach high-tech quickly and sustain it. In effect, the "no-win scenario", requiring creative strategy to break the dead-lock and win the game. Due to tweaks in Natural Selection I have no doubt that it it currently out of balance. When Natural Selection: Source is released, that will allow the map to continue to progress, grow much larger, and be balanced once again. Until then, this map is on hold and presented "as-is".

This is a 2-6 player arena (but can go up to 10 players if your nuts).

Players are equipped with a large amout of armor and a 357 when entering the arena. There is no life and no armor. This is done on purpose because it garentees that no one player can totally dominate the map. I built this map because the style seems to be popular with players if not with reviewers. The idea was to create a standard "Box Style" map that was still visually interesting and fun to play. New mappers will almost always start with box maps, but hopefully this will provide a bare minimum required for release to the public.
