You going to have particle emitters for erupting Volcanoes?

Of coarse. What would be the point of erupting volcanoes if you couldn't see them?

I forget, is Io the one moon with Uber Lightning that is like 50x stronger than Earth's? Bwahaha!

No

Hey, if vehicles have unlimited o2, will entering a vehicle re-fill your o2? Hrmm...

Its possible

Will there be GravCycles?

I won't put them in, but they can be easily added to the map

Due to the thin atmosphere, will vehicles be able to travel faster?
(And maybe even harder to stop due to the momentum and less friction.)

I'm not sure. I would rather leave the vehicle physics untouched.

OH! What about a object moving script to make crates and stuff like that "float around" (slightly, don't want to lag) in your base and/or spaceship?
(That or rocks on the surface of the moon.)

uhhhh...........I don't think I could do that.

Will you add custom packs to the map that are mod friendly, like a "Rocket assist pack" or something to help manuver with the low-gravity? Or a Grappling gun or something?

I'm hoping to add nice custom weapons

Will there be objectives you can capture? Will they be fantasy stuff like a Mining rig or something?

Theirs going to be a space station with Bombers and Havocs.

Dude, you can so make stuff float around... heh

There is a object moving script in this map:



It moves the turrets on a "track" back and forth..

All you need to do, is add an up and down, and make it move just a little randomly in a direction.

But it can/will cause lag.

Lag bad.

And adding some randomness to it... would be very hard.

You'd have to add a rotating bit to that script, something I'm not entirely sure is possible.

Here are some screen shots of what I have so far.
You will need to copy and paste the URL because its geocities.

These pictures do no justice to the feel of the map.

I play with no music, and with the low gravity, it does feel like a barren planet/moon. Maybe that's because I'm not playing with any one else, but I havn't gotten this lonely feeling on any other map I've played by myself.

I'll have a simple beta map out soon, once I get the second base up and running
