This was an idea I had for a map for about 5 minutes after I drew it out on paper.
Then I wanted to combine it with my love of derelicts, but I think I went overboard on the second version. Tell me what you think guys!

Question: Does it have derelict vessels such as the Prem, Mir II, and other uncommon ships? I like being able to find an uncommon vessel and capture it for my pleasure!

You'll have to find out for yourself. Nah I'm kidding lol. It's got pretty much everything you can't build, plus most of the things you can build.

In fact, I have an idea for more derelict stuff to add

Are the massive Breenfleets wanted?
And it seems like they are replaced the hole time

The massive breen fleets were not anticipated no, but I'm not sure whether I should remove them. They shouldn't be infinite. 

I think the original map is much better for decent gaemplay.

After a while, there are more Breenships on the map then ships are in the nebulars at the beginnig.
I think it was intendet to take them. In this case you have to remove the crew of the ships.
And the Breen defencestations are loosing crew everey second. After a while they are useless.

There are some Mirandas and Ambassadors on the map too. But they are mostly destroied by the nebulars. Because they have crew and will fly arround.

And maybee a second moonset for every startingposition. Its a long way to the second.

You should also replace the tetracell white miningstations with normal miningstations. Only a Domplayer can use them.

No critism, just some hints

Oh it wasn't intended to take the breen battleships, I just didn't think that they would start flying around lol.

I will replace the turrets with something else, and remove the breen ships all together.

Why can only a dom player use the ketracel facilities?

Why is the ships moving around a problem? Is there just too many?

Why can only a dom player use the ketracel facilities?

Do you know anyone else who can build Ketracel mining ships?

The Doms are the only one who can gather supplies .

I think you took the Breen from the NPCs and the other ships from the normal races. Just use the one of the Dom. This should work.

And the only other ships who like to move arround are the Ambassador and the Miranda 2. Don't know why.

And please, if you want to hide the ships in the nebular, please don't use one with dactivating sensors. I edited the map and saw which sips are inside the nebulars.
Even when I cromp through the nebulars with a fleet of 16 sabers I miss more then the half of them.

And I can't check if they are loaded or not.

Btw, the Breen not only startet flying arround, they whiped out 2 AIs.

@Tylor
All Ships start with 0 crew. But the breenships and the only miranda and ambassador are fully crewed when you start the map.

And the AI will do what the AI do with such many powerfull ships.
The will fly arround. And if there is an enemy, they will crush him.

I just build some Akiras while the first AI was cushed and I build my first Excelsior2 while the second was curshed.
Not many recorces, it took a while.
And than the nativs wanted to kill me. And I lost a lot of ships but managed to survive.

So it's the standard 'swarm' mentality, made worse by starting out with a Battleship fleet?

Thanks for your input guys. I put them in that nebula for a reason, to make them at least slightly hard to find.

I will release a V2 of the junkyard version soon to correct any errors made, if you guys think it's worth it lol

Arround 16 breenbattleships and between 2 and 3 fleets if breencrusiers. Try to fight them...


@Mayham
And take out the starfleet command. Only Fed can do warpins .
And you could use the Fluid Nebular to hide the vessels.

I used the mutara nebula for a reason. I just said that. Please listen 

Are you sure only Feds can do warp-in?

And also, I'm sure anyone can purchase supplies if they have a ketracel facility and dominion miners.

Thanks, Quatre for all your input, it's very helpful.

But the derelicts stay in mutara nebulas :p

It only includes Fed ships, people seem to hate the idea of other races getting some use out of the station. Even though it wouldn't be too different to mixed tech.

Maybe, but they can't build the miners they need...

The miners are next to it, just press the switch resource button.
