I've spent a bit of time doing some looking around, some testing, and I've come to a general conclusion about my opinions on this map.
Is it better than Titan Base? YES.
Is it better than the original Anaxes? Well, not really.
From the perspective of the Chief Flight Officer- this map seems too good to be true. Unfortunately, it is. The Space above the planet has one entry and exit point, meaning that when you fly above a certain height it will place you in the center of the space region and you will be facing 0 degrees north. When you fly too high in the space region, it sends you down to this point as well. When you want to leave the space region, you fly down and are teleported to a set location right outside of the base, facing 0 degrees north. If the teleportation isn't annoying enough when trying to perform offensive / defensive maneuvers around the main base, the fact that you enter and leave the region facing north is worse- as the LFS ships go haywire adjusting to the new mouse direction. The skybox on the actual planet is also significantly lower than on the original Anaxes, making ground support and flying within view of the ground much more of a challenge.
From the perspective of the average trooper, I still like the base. It hasn't changed much. But the surface of the planet overall? Well, in my opinion the outposts on the original map were better. They seemed less out of place, less a combination of a bunch of random assets. I believe the two outposts, the tower, and the village made for much better map decor than the options presented in this map. The Jedi & Bounty Hunters just seem to be giving up quite a bit for not much payoff. I wouldn't really say the Jedi and the Clones having to spawn in the same massive base increases roleplay between them in any significant way.
When Compared to Original RP_Anaxes: PROS:
Increased Map Size
Slightly Different Map Layout
CONS:
Glitched Lighting
Buggy / Poorly Built Space / Skybox Feature
No Jedi Temple
No Bounty Hunter Village
Lower Quality Outposts
Expanded Area is Barren
Inferior Optimization (In my experience during testing)
Ultimately, I feel Original RP_Anaxes is a better choice for our next map. Have we been there before? Yeah, we have. But it beats Titan Base and it beats this revised version of Anaxes. Perhaps this map could be added to the event server pool as the barren wasteland below the map would probably be a cool place for deployments.
-1 (I would prefer this map over Titan Base but I would much rather prefer the normal Anaxes already in pending)
