Description: This map is supposed to be a cruise liner, designed for the Ladies of the Sith clan, though it contains no clan-related images inside of it that I could find. It just makes me kind of giggle that a guy named SkaterJohn16 made a map called Ladies of the Sith - Cruise Liner. But enough of my giggling. On to the map.
The first thing that struck me was the music, and how much I felt it didn't fit with the map's theme. It's a very fast-paced duel-type piece of music, and for it to be playing onboard some kind of luxury yacht just doesn't seem right. I would expected something a bit slower, more reminiscent to "elevator music". But then again this whole map doesn't really strike me as much of a cruise liner at all. There are no rooms, there's only one deck, and the thing is decked out in turbolasers and has starfighters. Doesn't particularly fit with my idea of a cruise liner. That said, the map itself isn't bad. I actually quite like it - I just think the name is unfitting.
The map boasts three main areas: the main room, which is the only section I believe comes close to looking like a cruise liner, the bridge, and the starfighter areas. The main room is quite nice looking. It's got trees, what looks like hanging glass platforms, and what looks like quite a few fluorescent lights. The Imperial logos on the walls make me a little uneasy - I fear it would be something of a stuffy cruise . The bridge area is relatively small - only a fraction of the size of the main area - but it has a very unique design, which you'll have to see for yourself. It makes strong use of rounded brushes, giving it a more feminine look (which may or may not have been the point, but for a clan called "Ladies of the Sith" it sounds like a good thing). The third section, the starfighter section, is a bit blander than the rest of the map, giving it a kind of "behind the scenes" look. Kind of like how there's a nice restaurant, then a really stark bland kitchen. You don't need a fancy kitchen, you just need it to work. Same concept here, so the starkness of this area does not look out of place. This area leads to several bays which contain X-wings and Z-95 starfighters, in case you'd like to be blown out of the sky by the cruise liner's turbolasers. Fun times!
Overall a pretty good map - plenty of room to run around. Personally I think it could be improved to better fit the theme chosen, but it works just as well the way it is.

Didn't think that it could POSSIBLY be a Space Liner, did you?
Now that this has been amazingly done, Maybe someone can make an ocean liner off the costs of.... (10 minute thought) <-- Really did take 10 minutes
Ocean Liner off the shores of Corellia 
Cruise ship 
Looks like you did a good job. I'd love to see more like this. Bigger, with more decks, and more features. Try making Queen of the Empire sometime.
Hey guys - ya inryi i ran into the same problem since i had to beta the map by myself mostly... but once u start seeing the battles raging outside with your confortable seat inside, the battle of endor music seemed ok (it was either that, or the rail music).
Honestly, i could have done alot more in some parts, but the whole idea was to keep the gameplay smooth with a ton going on.
1.) You are rendering the outside battle whenever there is a window, so details had to be controled.
2.)FPS is crucial since even when dueling with the JA+ mod, u will still see the outside ship battle.
3.)... i really have nothing to put for 3 but just 2 reasons sounds dumb.
Making it too big was definatly thought about - in fact, im thinking of making a seige adaptation later involving a star destroyer. but for now, enjoy not having to search all over creation to find someone. Their either in the cruiser or in space! Lots of room for role playing and such, so have fun!
And mind the bots. I forgot bot paths. :-(
oh ya this map has been up and running at the LOTS server for a week now - Best fun we've had since... well Jedi Hotel!!!! lol j/k.
Come join us!
looking at the screenshots of this map it looks like the doomgover from jk2 or the dreadnaught from when you go to bys in jk3
OOO, well put together. But when i saw cruise liner, i thought more luxury and shtuff, not metal based oriented.
GEWD Work tho! I love it
like in post 8, needs to be more luxurious but still, nice work! 7/10
I'm not sure why he used the name skaterjohn16....he doesn't even go by that...i think most people who play know him as splenectomy
Did anyone else notice that you can shoot through some of the glass for example the hanging glass platform in the main room and one of the windows right before you go upstairs to the turbolaser control room. It may just be my game going crazy on me again, other than that 9/10! it is something original and actually well made.
acually there is one clan image - next to the imp logo theres LOTS written
