PJB3005 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 basically at the end of the round a vote comes up asking which map will be used next round also add meta to the mix Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3644-metastation-amp-map-voting-from-vg/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachomeep Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I love this idea and would love multiple stations, but I cant imagine this being easy on the mappers.

ZomgPonies Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I'm not against the idea in theory, just as long as we have people willing to maintain both maps -- Note that metastation would need offices/spawnpoints for all of our karma jobs for example Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3644-metastation-amp-map-voting-from-vg/#findComment-23554 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthdivine Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I agree with ponies, this sounds like a very cool idea but it would need people to help us maintain it. My only concern is the "burden of knowledge". Its hard enough remember where stuff is right now, this might aggravate it.

PJB3005 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 am I the only one around here who knows the map out of my head 100%? Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3644-metastation-amp-map-voting-from-vg/#findComment-23559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZD Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Having a choice to pick what map to run on would certainly be interesting, although I have to concur with the point made about the maintenance required for it. Additionally, as far as the "burden of knowledge" idea, it certainly would be disorienting for newer players to have to learn where things are an two maps, and it would take at least a few days for older players to learn it as well.

FlameNeko Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I like the idea too. I am not sure which map is going to be used though. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3644-metastation-amp-map-voting-from-vg/#findComment-23568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Just stick with the one map. I would much rather have one ++map then two that are just barely working.

Deanthelis Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 In an ideal world where everyone kept up with the Github and could rapidly digest new content happily without confusion this would be great. That is not the case. Because of how much steeper the already ridiculous learning curve would be, I cannot agree with this. One station is big and complicated enough as it is. We don't need to throw in another one.

MarkvA Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I do like this idea, but the map maintenance is indeed a very valid concern. If someone preps metastation for us and keeps it up-to-date, this can definitely be implemented as a test run (granted that none of the other maintainers disagree).

Citinited Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 What exactly would a different map offer in terms of benefits? Other than offering up some excitement, what's there to gain?

Streaky Haddock Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 5 years ago it was known as 'ovary station' because it was symmetrical and looked like a set of ovaries. That was 5 years ago. Doesn't look like symmetrical ovaries anymore, does it? The Map as is isn't optimised for the features and playstyle we have now.

vtipoman Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Nice idea, just prepare for graytide asking where everything is. (to be honest, I would be lost too.)

veganzombeh Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Metastation is definitely one of my favourite maps. I'd be more than willing to help port/maintain it, if necessary.

Taaketa Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I also like Metastation and would like to see it in rotation if one can be created. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/3644-metastation-amp-map-voting-from-vg/#findComment-23994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
