This map was made for a contest run at The Lab where mappers were asked to make a map suitable for a small number of players. It took me only a few weeks to put this together, it's a fairly small map taking place on a floating platform. This gave me the opportunity to make large impressive base fronts without worrying overly much about r_speeds, as the skybox forms the barrier of this map. It uses a teleport effect so that the floor of the sky is not littered with corpses (I always thought that looked dumb). To force people to get a move on, I stuck the spawns and the chargers right out in the open. The weapons are behind a moving laser screen, not unlike the beta of si_shadow by Behrooz. In the middle, on the high floating platform, is a Chum Toad resource, which gives your corporation $20,000 and a minute of research. Beware though, they are highly toxic and failure to deliver in a timely manner will result in gibbage. Custom textures are by evil lair.
The Lab has finished judging and this map took first prize! Awesome!
