Spacefighter Factory: Project Shadow Streak

Description
I don\'t think I\'ve ever quite seen a map like this one before. From the name I was expecting a hangar full of X-wings. That\'s not [i]exactly[/i] what we\'ve got here, although \"a hangar full of space ships\" is moderately accurate. Not entirely, as the majority of the map is not a hangar.

So let me cut to the chase and explain what we\'ve got. The first bit I saw was the factory. It\'s actually a very large and long room full of ships -- some of them in pieces -- being assembled. This is probably one of the coolest things I\'ve ever seen in a map. One ship is getting a wing welded on, while another is getting the cockpit ready for assembly. As you explore further into the complex you\'ll see various other ships. There\'s one that seems to be on display, and it\'s bristling with weaponry (included some pretty wicked-looking rockets). In another room there are several ships being fueled, and in yet another room there\'s a ship hovering as if ready to take off. I hope it doesn\'t, though, because it\'s faced the wrong way!

There are at least three distinct designs portrayed in this map, and what I find most impressive is that all these ships seem to be made of brushes! I\'ve seen impressive brushwork in the past but I think this probably takes the cake. They remind me a bit of the Nubian... on steroids. The Nubian didn\'t have any weapons, after all. The map itself also uses all custom textures. Yeah, [i]all[/i].

The strength of this map, beyond the very unique concept, is in the detail. From the detailed starships to the spinning ceiling fans to the scaffolding holding up the not yet attached wings of the ships. These are the kinds of details that make a good map a great map, and I\'d say they really do their job here. Great map overall, and fairly big! Should keep players very interested.
