USS Solaris

Description
Well, Elite Force fans, we're back! And what better way to return than with a brand new roleplaying map from [b]Ryan537[/b]! The [b]USS Solaris[/b] is a Nova class map. Lets hear what the mapper has to say...
[quote]The USS Solaris is a Nova Class variant. This is not the Equinox variant, however something slightly more on par with voyager. This is my first main map release, the other being the Aero Wing beta on effiles.com. This map has been a huge learning curve for me, and taught me alot about different aspects of modding for the game Elite Force. I hope you all enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed making it.[/quote]
The Solaris has a high quality of mapping generally, with some decent textures as well, although at first look, the map has 'Voyager' written all over it due to the corridor design. The use of curved hallways is something quite new for maps, and the deck layout is also unique... not only several ways to get somewhere, but there are an abundance of Jeffries tube access ports scattered around, making the ship feel more realistic. Add this to a collection of good rooms, including a computer core that reminds me of an EF2 mod beta with exactly the same design, and you get something small, but new. On the downside, there are some missing textures and the crew quarters feel very empty, as does sickbay. In addition, the map feels like it is missing something. I can't put my finger on it... However, this is excellent work from Ryan for a second map, and one of the better roleplay maps out there.

All in all, a must have map for you RPers.
