well i got past that problem now another one:
[spoiler]Where the fuck is the security keycard? I have opened all other known doors except the security forcefield and security door in maintainence.[/spoiler]

Ok, call me a blind lame crazy fool, but I just can't find ANY weapon. I even did a few 'suicide runs', but there just isn't any... so, anyone will tell me where to find wrench at least?
Or is this all-sneak-untill Maintenance(read: suicide) mission?
[Edit] After an unsuccesfull attempt to build Tower of Babel from chemicals(I have plenty of time because I locked hybrid in Food room), and before I tried to push boom boxes near, I actually managed to jump and grab the ledge near Engineering door. I found Wrench, so I take I'm supposed to actually do this.
Clever, mr. Cheng.
[Edit2] It's getting late and SS2 is strangely busy with the CD, which results in lags, so I'm gonna just post a few comments and complete rest after a reinstall tommorow. Dude, I don't know much about FM's, but this one just rocks. And by 'rocks' I mean it's so hell detailed - grat job, man! :thumb: If this is your first one then, well, keep 'em coming ;)

It's quite a difficult mission, though with beautiful architecture; not as difficult as it was in the beta version but hard nonetheless. I'd recommend the adition of a wrench earlier than in the Maint area in order to reduce the frustration factor.
Again, the visuals are quite breathtaking, especially in Maintainance.

The thing that took my breath was Elevator Shaft. Briliant.
But Maintenance, too, was a breathtaking. In a 'My lungs are burned by another turret/Midwife' sense.

@BlackJack21: Where is the security keycard.
[spoiler]The only ones are inside the area that needs the card to get into! Your only option is to disable the forcefield. Find some equipment you can break[/spoiler]
If still in trouble then:
[spoiler]So, the thing to break is in the same area - one of the junktion boxes at ceiling on one of the rooms on lower level.[/spoiler]
NOTE: The security area has a really nasty trap in it when you play with Hard or Impossible difficulty - don't save your game when you are siting in one :ebil:
@koki: Geting a weapon: The key to maintenance is depending on difficulty level: for easy/ normal it is on top of a box in Watts room and for hard/ impossible behind the box in Watts room.
About skiping the door to get into maintenance: that was clever - and not a intended way. But a way nonetheless :D
As noted by alpha/beta test players: first you don't have any weapons but ammo - until you suddenly get A LOT of weapons and ammo for them - and the end has no new weapons and NO AMMO for present weapons.

LOL :thumb:
How the hell did you do that? (Quote from one of Roman Atkinson show: about Jesus making wine). If the door closes when hi is inside the room - he sure gets traped there, BUT he has a GUN!!!
Btw: with a higher difficulty - there is a camera :ebil:. You have a camera nearby there?

I have a little problem, where you and other alpha/beta testers could help:
I have changed one texture in maintenance area - to a animated and lit one. Unfortunately it doesn't fit there (+ i found that the palette file i added is much brighter than the one i used in my own play test) - it somewhy looks just horrible :(
So the question to people who have seen both versions (unlit with red lines & lit and blue animation) - should i change it back or let it be the way it is (and fix the palette for it only - the gray part to much darker brownish)?
Look at the first post in thread...

I just have one question before I start playing.
[SPOILER]Spiders? Or no?[/SPOILER]

@JediK: :erm: A "little" only in science sector - nowhere else.

A little? More like Arachattack! :o
About the fix: This won't work permanently with modman-installation I guess?
I will include it in my .ss2mod just to be on the safe side.
