"Time is the Ultimate balance of nature, with joy and happiness comes death and destruction, the equilibrium of order and chaos."

Story:In the year 2261, The deep space Discovery ship named "ThunderBird", vanished from long range scans. Emergency tansmissions were recieved some weeks later, they were the ThunderBird's final computer recording data. From the information gathered from the data, it was concluded that the ThunderBird had come in contact with a black hole, and thus destroyed. Rescue teams were unable to retrieve any remains of the vessel, which left the UMS space division standing at the  front of worldwide blame for the disaster. Since the ThunderBird was the third ship in the UMS division to fall to peril in deep space, the Division was closed.

And thus the search for the UMS-ThunderBird was ended.

In the year 2284, 8 years before the founding of the Liandri Tournaments, a faint beacon was discovered in the Off Rim sector.  A Deep space salvage vessel traced the transmission to a mountainous volcanic world called "Orago-0176". The planet is known mainly for its numerous valleys and magma rivers, as is it's beautiful oceans and daily rainless plasma storms. The salvage ship tracked the signal to an ancient shrine built into the side of a valley. What they found was shocking. The remains of a crashed ship was found, a ship that was determined to be 1700 years old. Upon futhure inspection, it was revealed that the ship was actually "joined" to the valley and the remains of the old shrine....almost as if they were connected through a form of fusion. But most shocking of all was the Ships identity.

It was the UMS-ThunderBird.

Apparenly, according to scientists, when the ThunderBird was pulled into the black hole, the ship actually "tore" through Time Space and re-entered 1700 years ago directly into the surface of  Orago. Amazingly, the ship still had low levels of power, since it had a Purified Tarydium based Nuclear core, which were pulled from starships after the collapse of the UMS Division due to a lack of power deposits on Earth. The ThunderBird was the last Terran ship to posses such a power Core. Liandri immediatly purchased the rights to the ThunderBird and sent contruction crews to Orago to  take advantage of the infinite power supply generator and perhaps start a mining operation. They discovered rare minerals in the volcanic hot springs which flowed within the rock valleys. They immediatly began to construct a facility inside the valleys and even inside reconstructed parts of the Thunderbird itself. They renamed the mining facility " Outpost Pheonix 084"

The year is now 2294, the Liandri tournament games have been going on for 3 years and the wars board is anxious to seize new territory for tournament games. They turned to Outpost Pheonix 084, and cleared several area locations for tournament combat, making use of a remote mining complex, the only way in or out is through airlift. Some parts of the original ship remain untouched and stand as decaying structures sticking from the rock valleys.

"Time is Forever, gazing upon our world as life rises and falls."

ABOUT THE MAP: Time Crash is a large sized deathmatch arena. People familar with small, tight maps will certaintly feel ackward here, it's big compared to other maps, providing alot of room to move and millions of senarios of gameplay ( maybe not millions). As stated before, this map is designed for faster PCs. All weapons and items present except the Jump boots and Bio rifle. This map has several settings in one, rusty facility, old ancient shrine areas, outdoor areas, and a cool mine. Suits 8 players to 16 comfortably, and despite the large file load, most of that isn't the map;).  There are various hazards and traps scattered about to add to level interaction and gameplay tactices. Some Hazards are secret and hard to find ( see Bonus section). Power-up control in this map is very difficult, since the map is large and the power-ups are spread out, making the game abit more equal at times ( if you suck, your still gonna die though) .

GamePlay Tips: There is a sniper rifle in this map, as well as two shock rifles and two rippers. These three weapons can give you an edge in the map if used  by a pro. Alot of areas are connected through segments of halls, some leading right through the map, giving a good sniper or a professional shock whore a better chance to ambush opponents. The ripper is a very underated weapon, which i think is a serious mistake. Don't underestimate the ripper in this map for those tight areas, somtimes it proves to be the most efficient weapon, especially in the mine section. 

Hazard Tips: Hazards, this map is loaded with them, ones you can see and others you can't see. Through lots of exploring, you'll uncover the usefullness of traps.

B O N U S : I will give a billion dollors to anyone who can find the tiny green alien which is hidden in the level, without using CHEATS ( my trademark, theres one in everyone of my maps, but nobody gives a shit cus my other maps suck). Other easter eggs are included, like surprise rockslides if you nail a certain part of a rock wall with enough power. You'll have to find 'em all, good luck and happy fragging!

"It mocks you, sitting quietly as you drift on with your seemingly pointless existence, you know in your heart that when the end comes and you must pay the ultimate price for the gift of life, it is Time who will erase you just as it created you, sending you screaming down that black spiral...."

NEW FILES:

MUSIC: The new Music file, CrashTC,  provides a fitting futuristic/Industrial tune for the map, but if you do not listen to music when playing, there is ample sound fx to keep the ambience. The track was given to me (thanx to Halo14 is listed below) as a gift, the original title was Domatron, made by some dude named Tesque /Dee. Whoever you are, you have a great talent and I thank you for creating this cool track.

TEXTURES: The new texture pack is the popular richrig texture package. I took intrest in this pack after playing DavidM's DM-Alcatraz and have had a hard on for the pack ever since. The textures look great, especially with the right lighting. This is definitly my favorite texture set to date, even though lately it seems to be used too much lately. It was for this reason that I almost used a new texture pack to keep the look fresh, but the richrig set just fit the map too good. I hope you agree.

LEGAL STUFF:My rules are simple. Do not use my map to make other maps or your own crappy conversions of my work of art. Do not sell my map for money. Do not steal parts of my map without asking first.

 You MAY take any prefabs and use them in your own maps, I don't care about that cus everyone does it anyway. You may also use the richrig texture pack included, it is not mine and is a work of art, enjoy it. You may also use the music track,CrashTC, for any of your own maps,  just include reference to me.

And since I cannot enforce these rules, your not listening anyway.
