Marine Ships
Date of Circulation: October 30th, 2014 - July 30th, 2015
Era of Creation: Early Pre-Alpha
Sulaco V1, just "Sulaco" at the time was the first Marine ship map used on colonial marines before being phased out in favour of its successor, Sulaco V2, due to an ever expanding population in July 2015. It has since been retired and only makes occasional appearances for April fools with a better design.
Date of Circulation: July 30th, 2015 - April 24th, 2017
Era of Creation: Early Alpha
Sulaco V2, just "Sulaco" at the time was the revamped version of the Sulaco V1 and was the first marine ship and also map to use multiple z-levels to simulate different levels of the map, in this case decks of a ship. It was later phased out in favour of its successor, the USS Almayer, due to an ever expanding population in April 2017. It has since been retired and has not made an appearance since.
Date of Circulation: April 24th, 2017 - Current
Era of Creation: Early Omega
The USS Almayer is the latest marine ship to be released on colonial marines and is by far the largest due to the population growth that the server has witnessed in recent years. The USS Almayer was the first map and marine ship to fully incorporate perspective sprites for the entirety of the map.
Infestation Maps
Date of Circulation: October 30th, 2014 - June 10th, 2015
Era of Creation: Early Pre-Alpha
Nostromo, aka boxstation was the sole infestation map used on Colonial Marines before being phased out in favour of its successor, LV-624, due to an ever expanding population in June 2015. It has since been retired and only makes occasional appearances for April Fools.
Date of Circulation: June 10th, 2015 - Current
Era of Creation: Late Pre-Alpha
LV-624 was the successor map to the Nostromo and was additionally the first ground map to be introduced into Colonial Marines. The map itself was created by Absynth and then tweaked later by other developers to keep the map fresh and balanced.
Date of Circulation: May 6th, 2016 - Current
Era of Creation: Late Alpha
Ice Colony otherwise known as "Shiva's Snowball" was a additional infestation map which contained unique snow mechanics (Slowing of mobs when walking through snow, and the construction of snow barricades).
Last Stand Maps
Date of Circulation: January 15 2017 - Current
Era of Creation: Late Alpha
Whiskey Outpost was loosely based off of the Whiskey Outpost seen in the first starship troopers film at least in namesake, and is the first and only last stand map which is available on colonial marines.
