ADAPTIVE FAF ATOLL

Player: 2-12 (1v1-6v6, FFA, Phantom)
Size: 20x20 km
Prop value: 11.503 mass & 9.778 energy
Latest version: 2

.
Info

Once I got the idea, I could not resist
Due to the logos nature left-right is the default play style, but if you like rotational balance e.g. for Phantom or Free For All, just enable Rotational in the Game Option
Every faction is represented in 2 from a total of 8 optional civilian bases, but all bases contain: Seraphim T2 PD, Aeon T2 TMD, UEF Shields and UEF T3 PD to balance unit/reclaim differences
Heightmap fix: Enables T3 ships to pass everywhere
Improved AI path nodes

.
Adaptive Features

ADAPTIVE AHSSA-SHI

The Seraphim just discovered Ahssa-Shi (named after god of reincarnation). The latest scans revealed that the planet is habitable, resource-rich and seems to have had large water reserves. Unfortunately the first exploring mission got somehow annihilated under mysterious circumstances at the landing site, plus the rescue signal was intercepted by the other factions. These events postponed further investigations, in order to win the battle ahead.

mangala fossa_poster+marker_v2.jpg

ADAPTIVE MARS - MANGALA FOSSA

HISTORY:
-3833: Habitable planets have become a rarity, due to the still raging Infinite War.
-3840: Humanity established the first research station on Mars to conduct experiments on terraforming. Hopes were high.
-3841: Sudden long-lasting sandstorm lead to the crash of the control satellite. The experiments got out of control, resulting in the destruction of the terraforming facilities.
-3842: Station was abandoned due to economical total loss and evolving military conflicts on Mars.

Player: 2-12 (1v1-6v6)
Size: 10x10 km
Prop value: 48.302 mass & 20 energy

.
Info

Rotated real world map from the Mangala Fossa region on Mars. The heightmap was created from MOLA (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter) data

Small Civilian UEF base in the mid crater
Skybox included --> source official FA v60 map "The Scar" (scmp_027)

ADAPTIVE SKADI

The abandoned Aeon outpost on the ice planet Skadi (named after the Norse goddess of hunting, winter and mountains) moves back into focus due to its strategic position in the current war effort.

adaptive salt and pepper_poster+marker_v1.jpg

ADAPTIVE SALT AND PEPPER

Due to the constantly increasing demand for resources, the UEF leadership opposed the will of the population and transformed this formerly water-rich and blooming planet into a salt desert in just 36 years. In order to take revenge, the remaining residents have formed an alliance with the Seraphim.

faf props.png

FA AND FAF PROPS -->tool for map making

This map was created while I was working on Supreme Props and could be used for mapping purposes (e.g. export props to find matching props for your maps). The FAF integration of Supreme Props improves all given props and resolves many issues.

The left side of the map contains all FA & FAF props that are currently available (Aug 2019). The props are sorted by theme (see letters E = Evergreen). The circle decals indicate emitter and resource props as well as the formerly broken GeoRock01.

On the right side the props are sorted by size, type and quantity. The circle decals mark major differences, issues and bugged props that have been fixed. The wall-numbers only apply for mass and energy values of the Supreme Props Mod.

adaptive moon_poster3b.jpg

ADAPTIVE MOON

To the annoyance of the UEF, today's battle is taking place on Earth's natural satellite, the Moon. The conflict was inevitable after the data from the LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) was intercepted and leaked to the other factions.

Credit

to the creator of the spaced maps (water hack)
to @Jip and @Balthazar for their help on various things, especially decals

Rowey

Any Reason why Sera,UEF & Cybran dont have accses to thier t3 Main Tank ? but Aeon has accses to the harbie ?

Resistance

yeah,wanted to ask why sera and aeon has access to GC and ythotha while neither cyb/uef can get fatties/spiders/megas

svenni_badbwoi

@Rowey @Resistance thanks for the info. That wasn't on purpose
The problem was caused by wrong unit restrictions and is now fixed.
old: local NAVALbuildRestriction = categories.NAVAL + categories.ANTINAVY
new: local NAVALbuildRestriction = categories.NAVAL + (categories.ANTINAVY * categories.STRUCTURE)

Thanks to @jip 's hint, version 2 also contains a black waterramp to achieve a better transition between the moon and space.
