Permafrost

Permafrost is a Capture the Flag map in Tribes: Ascend. It is the first map in the game to feature an indoor flag stand. To increase the importance of the Generator, the flag stand originally moved outdoors if the generator was destroyed but in the Marksman update this was changed to a small stucture on the roof surrounded by force fields.

Terrain
Permafrost, as it's name suggests, is an ice map. The map features green crystal formations and blowing snow to make it more interesting to players. There is also a large ice cave that serves as a route to the enemy base. This cave is large enough to fly a Shrike through.

Base
The base on Permafrost is a bunker-like structure with multipule entrances. The Vehicle Pad is nearby the main base and the Radar Sensor is on top. There is an Inventory Station on a covered pad outside the base. Three Base Turrets guard the perimeter of the base. The Generator is located in the heart of the base at the bottom level with a total of six possible ways into the room. The flag is above it in a room with three entrances. If the gen is destroyed the flag is raised to the roof of the base which has ramps leading to it from all four sides.
