Well, this is an odd map.
It has 2 rings the connect to each other(see screenshots).
I like this map for 2 vs 2 carrier only games. The resources are a bit slim for full-fledged mothership games with 4 people, but it is OK.
Yesterday I was playing a game 2 vs 2 with motherships, and although the resources were not a problem we did find that when we killed off the 1st player it was fine, but the 2nd player had a carrier which he jumped all around the map. The problem is with the resources confined to those rings it is easy, even without a sensor array, to tell where all the ships are and which you need to kill. Its very easy to target what you are after, RU collection or main fleet.
However, despite these problems, the map is fun. It won't be your favorite map, but you'll probably pull it out from time to time.
My rankings by different areas:
3D - 75% It's pretty dull out side those slim rings(although they do go if different directions)
Fun - 85% It's fun, you can try some different strats without being doomed if they don't work
Size - 85% With 4 players its about perfect in size
RU Placement - 85% Very fair!
Replay Value - 90% Because of it's shape I was able to try a bunch of different strats against the same person with very different results each time...
I've decided to give it a general score of 81%, even though the rating in almost all of the areas are above it.
It's just the way the map plays. You have to play it, to know what I am talking about.
Anyway I reccommend this map to everyone, and Carrier Only games on it are great!! It's perfect for strikecraft battles weaving through the rings.
Overall Rating: 81
