Ring of Fire

Important Stuff

- 4 players, 2v2 or FFA
- 18k x 18k
- 3 moon pairs per player, but good luck holding 'em.
- Easy to raid, easy to defend.
- AI ships are for flavor, not free power.  No derelicts for you.
- Heavy use of damaging nebulae, light use of healing nebulae.  Flying through the red stuff is entirely optional.
- Somebody said something about battles in an asteroid field being epic.  Buddy, eat your heart out.

Fluff Stuff

The center of the map is the Rashanar graveyard.  If you know what that is, give yourself a cookie.

Yes, that's supposed to be a black hole.  You try making a better one, m'kay?  Hush.

looks very interesting can't wait to try it.


edit: i took a quick look in map editor and a quick suggestion, maybe decrease the number of ships in center since they can not be destroyed by the nebula?? ^^; (to reduce lag)

Looks amazing from the minimap....also, I get a cookie since I know what Rashanar is...is the Demon Ship there?

I wish.  Maybe when we have Noxter models in-game.

'Rashanar graveyard', as in the haunted 'Boneyard'? Never expected to see that in a map...

Are the AI ships fully crewed or unclaimable (team 0) derelicts?

Unclaimable.  Don't want this to be a gimmick map.

Nice mp map. Just played it.

How did the match flow?

If you don't mind my implies, I suggest not having NPCs in there since if there was to be updates of ships, change in ship class names, or so on. Then it could cause future compatibility issues.

Great map,I plays  well aginst  a AI opponent . Just a slight  favor  Like to see  a Version with  the  ships in the  center  being  Boardable. I also agree that  the NPC's may  get outdated if the  ship stats get changed.
