Plus the lighting was just too sparse. Some of the rooms didn\'t make any sense at all and the ships just take up space here. The weapon placement wasn\'t thought out AT ALL. The room I spawned in just had a bunch of weapons thrown haphazardly here and there. In the room upstairs, I found one health pack and two shield generators. There is no rhyme or reason to this map.
