Description:
This map is based around (you guessed it) a black hole in space. There are many circular walkways of different levels to get from the blue flag to the red and back. This map might be best played on low gravity as the walkways are easy to fall off, especially if you accidently go through one of the transporters that are located around the map, which will transport you through each of the different leveled walkways.
If you are one of the unlucky players that can't stay on the playforms for very long, you will find yourself falling down into space before being sucked into the black hole that is placed in the centre. After a short ride down a flashing red tube, you arrive in a white oblivion where you remain for a few seconds before finally dying.
The flags are actually located right next to each other, but separated by a long yellow forcefield, meaning you have to take the long trek around the whole structure to score, unless you find another, sneaky way to do it. 
Overall it seems like a well thought out map which is reflected in it's quality. I only found a few bugs such as the flag appearing like it's on the other side of the forcefield (Ritualistic's fault), and you being able to wander around in the white room of death (for the few seconds you remain alive) and kill anyone else who happens to be there.
Go get it now!

Darn thing won't take my login!
Looks cool... Almost has the framework appearence for DS9.... That got lost along the way and converted into this???
Would be well worth checking out if EF2 MP was ever made playable 
I'd be tempted to reinstall it.

Sombody wanna fix this, or is the system just down?
I love the look of this map! But 1 little trivial thing.....blackholes r black lol. Of course have 2 c it(but just ignore me) Great map 10/10 
Its funny wehn you do sv_gravity 5000 and jump in to the black hole
you will stay in the red tube and can figh there
Does any one know what effect tempest used to create the black hole effect?
Great map with great gameplay. Just one problem. In a real black hole, once you enter it your body is torn to shreds instantely.  in the game, once you fall into the black hole, your character just sits there for a while before it dies. but the level still rocks!
Thanks for the feedback guys.
Um, the effect i used for the "blackhole" is the Borg transwarp EFX. The tube is the Red warp core from EF1, i converted.
Also, the center of the black hole is black, the rest is the visible matter falling in.

Thats theoretical, its also theoretical according to Science Magazine, that a special type of black hole, could allow you to p***** quickly into the event horizon, and not be torn to shreds.
But that aside, i wanted to make is something more than just plain dead.
Also, its very, most extremely difficult to cheat, unless the grav is super high.
