| − | '''MetaStation''' is a largely complete work-in-progress map available in the /tg/ code as an alternative to the default map. MetaStation was previously run on Badger, and is now the defualt map on the second official /tg/ server, [byond://game.ss13.eu:2337 Philip]. It has been play-tested quite extensively and has been generally well received. Due to this play-testing, it is now largely bug free, and most feedback revolves around gameplay changes and balancing. Please give any feedback you may have [http://www.ss13.eu/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=358 in this thread], and rest assured that the map is regularly updated according to such feedback. | |

| + | '''[[MetaStation]]''' is a fully-functioning map available on the /tg/ codebase. It was previously the default map on the /tg/ servers Badger and later Basil, and various edited versions have run on NoxStation, /vg/, and Paradise Station. |
| − | * There are in-game maps on the walls of the station to help you find your way.
| |
| − | * The AI is in a more vulnerable position, but is directly adjacent to security for some protection.
| |
| − | * It feels significantly larger than the default map, and plays best with a population of at least 30 or so.
| |
| − | * The escape shuttle is larger, with a cargo hold to encourage players to bring any new or valuable equipment back to CentComm.
| |
| − | * All roles which have maintenance access around their department now have access to the nearest hallway's maintenance door, too.
| |
| − | * Most rooms and departments are largely as they are in the vanilla-/tg/ map, but rearranged to keep things fresh.
| |
| − | * All other z-levels are the same as vanilla.

| | + | MetaStation ran on Basil for a long time and has been tested extensively, being generally well received. It used to be largely maintained and updated by '''[[User:Metacide|Metacide]]''', though it uses the work of many others, and has been worked on by various other people who have updated and maintained the map over its history. |
