Shouldn't this be in the suggestions area? I believe the idea for this area is for guides to help noobs with the maps that already exist. I could be wrong though.

[Syrkres]

Some variants or changes for above maps/suggestions.

Space Platform
- Could have night/day cycles depending on whether or not it is facing sun etc.
- Could have a large range of different Temps depending on if it's close to SUN or far from Sun
- Cool effect (not truly implemented yet) would be to basically have meteor strikes hitting the platform, this could easily be implemented in as random artillery strikes (without smoke notification).

Lunar Observatory
- See Space Platform for variances - all could apply


Badlands
- I would suggest more of deep gullies with lots of hidden spots
- maybe some tunnels/caves with under ground rivers running through
- Basically a natural City map

Metropolis
- what would be cool here is very high towers which could be climbed (elevators?)
- High open air bridges and platforms which mechs could fall off... oops... requires pilot skill
