I liked forging on Impact, there's something about space, how should I put it...? Spacey. It's cool with the craters and what not and I really liked the idea of having a space station. Soon after building, I thought of an original giant lazor cannon mechanism. By combining the covers of walkway covers I figured out a way to create the barrel of the gun - so I put in not just one, not two, not three, but five guns. Four smaller ones, and a bigger one that I call the Lightning Cannon. Facility 117 is Symmetric, and both bases have two floors as well as a sniper rifle. In the middle there is a three story bridge, as well as having a hidden Incineration Cannon. There are two ghosts on the bottom floor that promote some vehicle play, although not much. It is a medium size map, and I'm not too sure of the capabilities, but 4v4 Slayer works fine, and there might be more room for more games in the future.

 

Screenshots/Videos:

An overview of the map, while it might look a little small, it supports enough line of sight and verticality.

 

The Lightning Cannon - if someone somehow manages to get ontop, it can actually kill you - yes that is a kill ball!

 

It looks a little confusing, but it's easy to navigate once played, this is the bridge that crosses across the map, it's got multiple floors to it...and multiple ways up and down.

 

Red Base, as seen here. It has a "gravity elevator" of sorts that utilizes the player trait zone's jump height increase to get up. Blue Base also looks like this.

As I told you earlier I appreciate the aesthetics, they're quite cool and unique. I can't really judge a map's gameplay without having played on it but judging from the amount of pieces used I thinks that maybe you are missing dynamic lighting on the map, please tell me if I'm wrong. Also, is the frame rate solid in this map?

 

Aside from that I quite like the feel of the map. Good job, keep me updated.

Thanks for the comment! As for missing dynamic lighting, I haven't noticed really - I don't think anything is wrong with the lighting. And the frame rate is definitely solid!
