Stop waiting on me for anything, I only do OP2 stuff in my spare time, which has lately been very limited. In fact, college starting in about two weeks implies me having no idea when I can do more Outpost 2 programming.

heh, heh, hee
what we have done to the colony game...
edens missle
locked objectives

All scientist have been moved into your Colony vie CC ? No cargo trucks with wreckage being destroyed ?

where you under attack? or attacking your enemys for that matter?

I did also just suddenly loose outcasters. It was medium difficulty and I had already salvaged the second wreckage. Mark may have been around 1500, but I don't know

Ok, let me clarify my shout:

It was medium difficulty and I had salvaged the second wreckage and brought it to my spaceport. I was on the way to the third wreckage, when I lost. I was under attack, but that were some combat vecs on the open map. My base was not under attack. A disaster destroying both of my ccs in different lokations is unlikely.

Apart from that, the map has some more issues:
1. when I attack the Plymouth base in the north, some Panthers just sit there and don't defend it.
2. when I destroy a mine in that base, the ai sends a robo-miner to rebuild when my combat vecs are still in the way.
3. you should think about splitting the first objective into four or maybe even eight. Its sometimes hard to keep track of which lighttowers I have already visited and I sometimes fail to have the evac ready after I scanned the tower.
4. in another try my sf got destroyed by a disaster. You may argue that it was my fault to have only one sf, but imo disasters should not be so powerful.

And another thing that you may judge for yourself: After I built up lynx production and built some lynxes I was able to easily destroy any enemy base on the map. Thats, because Eden has so many bases that the vec limit allows only a few vecs per base. And when they attack me they often come one by one and thats how I destroy them.

All of this is not meant to discourage you. I rather want to give you the info that you need in order to make this map fun to play.

1)Some Guarded rects will help there.
2)Thats the automatical rebuild function, it's not easy to change it.
3)I want to wait with that since there are quite a few triggers and i didn't ount them all.
4)u.... I know those situations. In Eden population i experienced the same after 10 marks. Thats frustrating.

The Eden attack problem is already fixed(In the source) and will be available later.

three things...
one) remember my glitch i found? the one with me suddenly losing... well i now believe they are one end the same. i had done all of the same things described here for it to happen.

two) change some of the extra Eden bases to Plymouth... its just not realistic to have them hold the world by shear force

three) storyline complete
