----> FF Space Array v1.0 <----
by estrella for TA: The Final Frontier

IMPORTANT:
This map is made for TA: The Final Frontier, no AI included, performs poor with the default AI, or use szSiege.ufo (V2.0) from Sage_Z that AI will perform much better !!

Size: 31 x 31
Ram required: 16-32 Megs
Optimal: 64-128 Megs !
Number of players: 2, 4, 6, 8
Uncompressed size: 6,037kb 
Compressed size: 782kb
Files:
The map : FF-SpaceArray.ufo  
The features: Tsu-Space_Features.hpi by Tsunami (12 Kb)
The Readme: this file :)

The only places on which to build are along the superstructure of the array, and at some of the asteroids so you need to plan your building well.  The main 
combatants in any engagement will most likely be your space craft and space fighters ....

Note that player 1-4 will begin on the outer rim of the array in relative isolation.  
Players 5-8 start in close proximity at the core of the array.

What this map features;   
4 vs 4 team play is one of the more interesting features this map does quite well.
1-4 vs 5-8  (invaders/outside start points) vs (defenders/inside start points)

Watch out for those pulsating 'stars', they are a good source to get energy!  The meteor storms can be really annoying at times. 

Tip: 
Space Crafts have space to move around behind your base/start positions to set up attacks. 
This map performed reasonable on 16-32 Meg machines at 250 or less units, due to near manditory use of large amounts of air power and the meteor storms the game 
WILL lag with more then 250 units in a four player game on slower systems.
     

Installation:  
Uncompress the zip files using Winzip or another util, and when prompted for a 
destination directory, extract all files to "c:\cavedog\totala\", or whatever path to TA one might have been.


Credits & Thanks to each of you for providing me with the 
tools to be able to this. 
----------------------------------------------------------
This map was created mostly using the following;
The Map Deep Space Array V2.0b, from Rawdeal
The TA:FF tiles (Asteroids, Planets, Solar) by Savant and Estrella
The Tsunami Features.
Annihilator 1.5, Photoshop and Notepad.

NOTE i copied the complete Deep Space Array from Rawdeal, and made it compatible for TA:FF and added features , metal extractors and new tiles. So 80% of the credits for this map go to Rawdeal !!
