Looking for wads like Ancient Aliens or Solar Struggle

[Zulk RS]

I want to play some more Doom but with the RLArsenal mod. I personally feel like wads that have a more "Adventure" or sci-fi vibe to fit best with that mod so I'm looking for wads like it.

 

Can anyone recommend me any megawads similar to Ancient Aliens, Solar Struggle or even Icarus: Alien Vanguard in their design? Also are there any magawads that give a "connected" feel like having the exit of one map be the starting room of the next map? I think megawads like that would also work well for my playthrough with the RLArsenal Mod.

Equinox is a pretty famous sci-fi wad. And it does have the sort of progression you're talking about. Just don't expect to have very much ammo when playing in vanilla.

Avactor, Epic, and portions of Epic 2 come to mind.  Fragport maybe, I don't recall that many WADs of comparable length that have the next map continue from where the previous map ended.

Brutal Doom Starter Pack/Extermination Day, every map follows from the previous but it doesn't feel very sci-fi, the main bits are techbase-urban-hell.

 

There was another where you start out in a space port, take a ship to planetside, then finish on a space station but forgot the name and can't find it.

strain and system vices both might work well, though system vices is only a single episode.

 

also btsx e1 if you count that as sci-fi

Strain huh? I guess I'll have to look at that.

 

EDIT: Gave Strain a good look. Is there any way to not have the modified monsters? I think it might mess with the mod I want to play Strain with. Definitely will give it a whirl when I want to play Doom without mods though (Which is norm. Current mood is the exception)

Oh I actually know about Extermination Day/Hell on Earth Starter Pack. It would have worked great for what I was looking for but the problem is that I already played through it once before with Complex Doom (Because something about playing a Brutal Doom mappack with Complex Doom seemed endlessly amusing to me at the time) and I don't feel like playing it for a 2nd time just yet.

Okay so I found something that might be what I'm looking for. I found the Doom Core triology. Does it have any dehacked or custom enemies and weapons and stuff that might break mods? Also how difficult is it?
