Too late, I already made the map and added these new modules:
6 32x32
1 16x16
Follow the link below to see the design specs for these rooms.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=19500
If we each build one 32x32 module with a cover then we won't know which room
the queen is in.
Building Notes:
When building the 32x32 modules you will need to build a removable plug for
one of the doors. When I designed the layout I couldn't get all of the
doors to line up.
It might be a good idea to put a wall between the two doorways that are
opposite each other to prevent long range fire. Or you could add doors.
You don't need to match the colors I used in the specs, but you should have
the plate running around the bottom of the room.

That's two maybes for the 13th. Anyone else? Others who couldn't make it
to the last game are welcome to join as well.

Yes but they will have less troops and you can have stronger aliens now. So
have fun killing people off. Don't worry about keeping the aliens to the
300cp, just make them hard to kill.

I think the number of datapackets wasn't too bad, but we needed to arrange
them. This time we'll start by putting the most common ones at the starting
points of the game. Then as we progress further into the ship, the data
packets will become rarer. To add a little fun, we could also put all of
one color at the Faction's end and all of another color at the Coalition's
end. That way the only way to collect all of the data packets needed will
require us to get past our enemy.

I like this idea. Each team has to collect one of each type of datapacket
and bring it to an appropriate room to score the points.

Try not to make the room to obvious. We want to have fun searching for her
as well as TRYING to kill her.
I'll send you the map so you can decide where you want to put your nest.

The Coalition assumed it was a mind controller, because we couldn't
understand why a ninja would be caught running around with such a silly
looking hat. ;-)

I would say he was that lucky. Why didn't the aliens attack in the movie?
Because she was pregnant with their queen. That poor guy must of been
infested at some point in the game.
