I took a little time to think about Decarabia with Roddy and kind of got us to the same ideas so .. it’s kind of a mish-mash of our thoughts.
We love it, of course. If it gets in it’d be great and it’s very much an RP centered map.
After a minute it kind of dawned that. As funny as it is. It’s almost too pretty. It doesn’t feel quite lived in, and in some respects is almost sanitized. That’s where we get the confusion as to what exactly /is/ the station. It feels mall-like, or even like a dollhouse but were unsure how intentional that is. At some points during the test, Rod mentions that it doesn’t quite feel like a Nanotrasen ship. There’s beauty but no mess and no signs of life almost.
We just can’t tell what the significant departure from current maps is. There’s water in oshan, acid in nadir, donut shaped maps, maps that are multiple ships… so what exactly Is Decarabia?
We kind of hope there’s a lot of more testing since there are some odd map issues here and there that likely would’ve benefitted from more player testing earlier on. I mentioned security previously, but upon second reflection, i realize the feeling for it is that security is almost lopsided. A lot of it’s vital needs are west, there’s an an empty and spacious lobby with no clear use, and pods to the right. It feels almost constricted.
Slight oversights in medical is fine and fixable and the most issue Rod ever said in medical.
I hope this doesn’t sound like it’s a bad map. It’s not! I love it already. I just had some thoughts that we hope are helpful.
