Space Station

## Overview

Space Station is a community map created by M-A-M-A on Discord that was introduced in the May 3rd Update. It features two large space stations and clusters of asteroids suspended in space. It is used in CTF, TDM and DM games.

In the space stations, players can find several nooks and crannies that hide many item boxes, as well as copious amounts of barrels and crates that can be pushed around. Each space station also features two launchers, a radar dish on top of the space station that boosts players, and a force field zone in the front that cannot be penetrated by bullets, resting directly over a low-gravity zone that heals over time. They also feature a deadly acid pit on each side, overlooked by a mysterious alien in a green tank.

## Defence

### Sandbags

None

In between the stations is a small asteroid field, and a low gravity zone. It is not possible to fly out of the map, as the asteroid field is surrounded by an instant-kill zone.

## Strategies

* Camp the asteroids with a Barrett to take out anyone that would come out from the field.
* In the stations, there is a small hill seen in the top right of the image that can be camped and you can use it to hold the enemy ninjas back.
* Since there is low gravity outside of the space stations, players can quickly build a large amount of momentum by proning and flying forward.
* Do NOT try to go into the acid liquid; as it will kill you. Try to stand on the barrels floating on the liquid (do NOT stand there to long; as the barrel you're standing on will eventually sink along with you) and fly away once your flight energy is full (or fly away *immediately* if your energy bar's full).
* Using the Pulse Gun, you can reach enemy players hiding in the crook in front of the main entrance of the base. Be careful though: in my experience, many other players from both teams (or a lot of them in DM) use the Pulse Gun in this map, so they have an idea on (or know) how to use it.
* You can use the Boomerang to take out enemies that cannot be reached by the Pulse Gun or pros (very few can dodge the Boomerang; especially in enclosed spaces).

## Trivia

* Space Station is the first map to feature dynamic boosters, as in a booster that is seen to be moving around, instead of staying in one place. Static boosters (ones that stay in one place) however, bounce any player that comes into collision contact with them.
* Space Station is one of the first maps to feature liquid.
* There are two xenomorph tanks on the far edges of the map.
* Space Station so far is the only map to feature both low and normal gravity.
* Though the radar dishes on the top of each space station appear to be sucking waves of particles inward, they actually push you outwards toward the upper asteroid field.
* Space Station is the first map to possess dangerous liquid; standing on one of the floating barrels for too long will cause you to sink in the acid and die.
* An X75 will spawn on top on one of the barrels on the acid liquid in each team base.
* It is the first and so far, the only map to feature visible boundaries on the top and bottom of the map; the boundary lines are glowing red and will instantly kill you if you attempt to get past them.
* It is considered to be one of the largest maps in the game, if not the largest map.
* There are two biohazard signs near each deadly acid pit, meaning that the liquid is possibly waste or fluid from the alien tank.
* The floating asteroids possess realistic moon-like textures, as they are covered in small craters.
* Space Station is the second and so far one the two only maps to feature impenetrable walls that players can go through, with the first map being FacingWorlds. Space Station's walls are glowing blue in color and are located at each entrance/exit of the two spaceships, while FacingWorld's walls are located at the bottom of both towers near the far edge of the map.
* In CTF mode, it is actually possible to push the flags around the area by pushing a barrel or crate into it. This seems to be the only map that this is possible with.
