Looking pretty Nice overall, but a little bare.
Simple enough, but maybe you could take influence from the EP3 concept art?
The area feels too slapped together and unoriginal, i feel it needs some individuality.
I picture something like the ship trapped in ice, glaciers to serve as platforms to traverse the heavy duty Combine chasm, bits of the Borealis dry dock embedded in the walls, remnants of the crew fused to the very hull and bulkheads, like the story it was based off of, the Philadelphia Experiment.
Maybe even have equipment from different eras of Aperture Science fall out of rifts or tears through space and time, discovering the site to be a portal storm hot spot.
Earlier Aperture defense systems on board the ship have been taken by the Combine and are deployed to inhibit our objective.
I made the Borealis in one my of Ep3 The Closure maps, took me 3 months of daily labor but it was worth it when i may say so myself. I made the bottum of the ship open over the complete lenght which made that you could look up in the entire ship while you stood under it.
I did upload all vmf files of the mod should you want to have a look at it.
I have to agree with what the other people here say, that it looks a bit bare and empty now. Still, great job, admire your time and effort you put in to this because i now how hard it is to make Borealis well in a map.
