Checked em out just now. For the moment I'm speechless.

What's with the new map? Me so lost. Have the continents become planets? Does this mean that any hope for battleships is lost forever?

Holy crap, just noticed the BFR_Basic certification available only to those who have Core Combat! Don't think it means anything yet though.

The maps look prime for snipe wars and infantry engagements.

Edit: Also a bug to get into other Sancs, but they say dont do it =D So don't do it!

There's some problems with the ground (there's a patch of empty space in front of a vehicle tunnel for example)

The ground in the bases is uneven, as though a meteor really did blow through. Amazing how the indestructable walls and trees weren't affected....

New warpgates, they look cool. There's also a Nexus continent where there's a dropship center.

The only way to get there is either through HART, or through a continent. Broadcast warpgates won't help you! mwahaha!

All pretty well made maps.

The global map is weird. Takes some time to get used to (like 30 seconds). Oh yea, there's some new stuff that is lacking information.

It's a good point...and you were joking...but let me pull up a stool and expostulate a bit on this subject.

Auraxis is a construct. It's not a planet.

Auraxis was made by the Ancients while man was trying to figure out how to use a jawbone as a club. Why did they make it?

Well...I have the *real* answer, but the answer being bandied about by your scientists is that the Ancients understood and mastered dimensional travel. By that, I mean that they could move through the onion skin layers of reality, travelling through "what if" realities, until they found the reality they were looking for.

When they found that reality, they went there. Auraxis didn't go along with them, theoretically because it was the vehicle that moved them to that other reality. So when they left, Auraxis got left behind in a "shut-down" mode. It stayed in that mode until Humanity showed up and moved into the caverns. Either through forays into the caverns, or through manipulation of "patterns" stored in the warpgate shunts, mankind triggered some sort of automated systems.

Auraxis is not in shutdown mode any longer. Things might get interesting soon.
Interesting.

EDIT: Dhark, Map Pic
