Just a few more screenshots from me. A map I'm currently working on for Krios Conspiracy Part 2, it will be a romulan city whith a little interior below the city. The interior itself isn't build yet, only the subway where you can go down.
You should try playing Depths of Nukara prime. The cave map is awesome! Oh wait, this is for in-progress stuff.
I hear the author of that mission went into full /rage mode when he realised the damn thing didn't save after I ... he went mad with the spell checker.

Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Thank you But, like al rivera says in the german podcast for a long while: we germans are extremly big star trek fans. And that's one of the reasons we make megalomaniac maps like those ^^ (talking about the maps from commancermic, lorne, benalexander, alexdrake and me)
Uh... I'm not sure "megalomaniac" is the word you were looking for
yeah... google-translate says it's the only translation to "größenwahnsinnig"
hmmm... dict.cc days the same...
you know... that word, if you think you are that big and good, that you become crazy in german, you can use it as a adjective for maps ore something like this, whish are abolutly crazy and want to be the very best (like commandermics terran-station)

Yeah, megalomaniac is technically a correct translation, but it seem to miss the context.... oh well.

Crazy kinda works but maybe a more accurate approximation would be extravagant (of which crazy can be a synonym). Or maybe even grandiose.
Went for a KDF/Rom Theme ... Don't know if I like it or not.
An unusual mix but I can see it working.

Comparing it from the screenshots in your one it feels.... bland. I don't know what it is...
First, it's a quite different scenario in my map. A night scenery, which allows me to play around with those light effects. This let the map look more filled than it actually is.
A few tricks I use when I build cities:
- I use buildings like walls, no gaps where I don't need a street to create the illusion there is much more behind
- I'm trying to make streets and places small if there are not enough things to fill it
- Placing buildings at the top of another building to make it look bigger or just different (like the towers in my last screenshot)
- I'm using lowered walls to border streets sometime. That'll make it look more filled than it is. The same effect like you see in the conference room of my terran station, that room is nearly empty, but with this grey stripe on the ground and the bars at the ceiling it looks less empty.
Little suggestions to your map, I would change the ground platform on the last two screenshots, those romulan ground platform unfortunetly has hardly contrast on its texture, what makes it look not very detailed. I've also used them first in an earlier version of my map, as you can see here:
Another little thing, the round yellow platform at the tree in your last screenshot. Not sure if you have enough objects left to build this a bit more complicated. What I think of is, to use lowered walls instead of that platform to build a hexagon around that tree (or a octagon, if a hexagon is too small). To fill it inside, maybe the assets "highland rock s01 and s02" could get a earthly texture there, if that withered plants on it aren't a problem (or hide them with other plants).
If enough assetts you could also keep the Rom floor and mix in another floor slightly higher as a kind of pavement or road or even leave holes to fill with new romulus grass platformsslightly lower making little lawns.

As mixing different ground platforms could be another good option to let the streets look filled, I still would recommend not to use those romulan platforms. They look too undetailed in any way. Also their color doesn't fit best compared to the color of romulan buildings.
Went for a KDF/Rom Theme ... Don't know if I like it or not.
Looks good!
Don't stop working on it
And, of course, I'm working on my next Mission. After my spotlights are respotlighted (except "Auf der falschen Seite", cause zero and nevandon thought it was called "Auf der anderen Seite"... btw, zero, if you read this, you should have post from nevandon ), I can continue working on AST6.
So... my result from today for you (work in process and suprise, suprise, terran again... A "little" inspired by commandermics terran map):
The "evil thing" the player has to stop
Round corridors ftw
A window in the "corner" of a corridor (outview comes later)
And how the map looks in the editor right now (the cardassian station comes over the "evil thing" in the finish version)

I have to say, I really don't have much patience^^
Building citys isn't more difficult than interiors I think, just a bit different to build
And after farnihr has posted some screens of a terran map, here my variant of a terran station.

Oh... I would SO love to get my hands on the Asset location data for those maps if you would be willing to share...

I remember when I've build a big cave, not the easiest maps we can make (more complicated than citys in my opinion)
Nice to see we can even impress you

Taco, can we have the New Romulus Fleet Embassey map? Then I can avoid this altogether.
