advantage. Or allows one to build a station near a nebula, increasing the amount of buildable space in the increasingly compact area of some maps. CENTRESTAGE: The Centrestage map, as mentioned above, centerd around defense. The bulk of dilithium/metal deposits rest upon the part of your quadrant that is closest to the entrance to your area. So it serves nicely as an "outpost", the research can be place near the "core" area, while shipbuilding is suited better for the "outpost" area. Building a trade convoy between the two point wouldn't hurt either. CENTRESTAGE vARIENT: Exactly the same as the Centrestage, this map has but one difference: wormholes. There are two wormholes in your quadrant that are linked up to each other. One near the dilithium moon near the Metreon Nebula, and one near the outpost area. This serves great for evacuation for your "outpost" base, or a rueful surprise for the attacker. The stratagy that I usually use is instead of putting the shipyards near the "outpost", put them near the Metreon Nebula, with the wormwhole. So the mainstay of your armada will be hidden from attackers, giving misinformation to your counterpart(s). And the sorry fool that attacks will be decimated, an enormous reinforcement fleet will pop-up and attack an unsuspective fleet that is targetting your delay fleet that was build to take the gurnt of the attack.[/quote] One of the most formal presentations i've ever seen :) Pics: Centerstage: [img]http://www.gamingfiles.com/screenshots/16/files_extra/1.jpg[/img] Centerstage Variant: [img]http://www.gamingfiles.com/screenshots/16/files_extra/2.jpg[/img]
This is a pack of two maps, and a nebula mod. From the readme: [quote]NEBULA PATCH: This optional patch allows the user to build a structure inside a nebula, therefore using the effect to his/her
