Map ideas - the "might never happen" wishlist thread

But we can dream, can we?
The TC/TSA_orbital factory map (who's howto could eventually lead to an actually playable warship-drop map):
Set on an artificial low orbit satellite ("orbfab") consisting of platforms, the teams spawn on a separate floor each, and wade to the floor in between where the main killing zone is located. Props from an orbital foundry, narrow passes encircled by the abyss and the planet "below", exploding objects, destroyable walls, "no easy day" reminiscent somewhat to "TSA_Underground"

TC/TSA_Ringworld, the sky box is showing an rotating ring (for producing artificial gravity) that reaches across the sky, and the nearby gas giant planet (Jupiter like?). The map (2x4 or 4x8 km) is on longer sides encircled by high concrete walls (the edges of the ring) and on the shorter sides by gargantuan "spokes" of tunnels leading to the center of the ring (drawn on the sky box), the spokes have gates that are closed ("off limits"") and the map area is covered by heavy tropic vegetation and in rolling hills 500 - 700 meters top to top, not much higher than ~25m. Sub urban single buildings ("utopia style") and crawling boids (turtles lizards...). Dropships at each "gate", fight is for control of the generator station in the center. Small creeks run lengthwise on the map

TSA_Recritiment_Base. An confined 4kmx4km flat map set in a desert encircled by an mountain wrath. Military barracks and vehicles (preferably futuristic). Concrete slab on 50%of the center, shooting range on one side, obstacle course on the other (mud pits, water, trenches, barb wire, smoke screens, pipe tunnels). Two opposed mech factories perpendicular to them. In the middle of the base is an repair pod (Aurora's modular bay?) and an bit remote placed APC. A course for new players, to be tuned for best "free testing server" usage in map rotation - to eventually replace the Clearcut map.

TC_Lagrange_V, I never stopped dreaming of this map, really. A battle field set away of any land. Two jump ships (Aegis and Invader) are within reach of each the others K-F jump drive and can't flee one the other - to do so a team has to "conquer" the other - effectively barring the team to spawn and fight back (main bases capable!). Alternate "diagonal" spawn points (lateral bases as in Enkeladus) spawn BA only, for last ditch attack, and can't be capped. It is yet to be seen how to traverse the 2-3 km of empty space in between the two "stranded" jump ships, and the ships alone are to be crafted and imported to the engine (yet). The game flow would be: Spawn an mech, traverse somehow to the 3 kill zones (own ship, middle "island" of the map (a derelict yardship), foes' ship) and fight with what comes in the way. Traversing would probably include scripted dropship transport, so this map is a bit far from ready to make yet (maybe elevator platforms?). Waves of mechs ("lances") fight each other in confined close quarters environments (300mx150m) in low gravity. Middle "island" Yardship could be up to 2km long and have an 1500mx250m theater for the main "kill zone".
