I'm no server admin, obviously, but some things I feel should be taken into consideration, as discussed on IRC, are

1. Scenery (forest, desert city, etc.) should be varied, so don't put the two Rhen Var maps one after another, for example.

2. Order of Battle (infantry only, infantry and light vehicles, combined arms, etc.) should be varied, so don't put Ryloth right after Ice Plains or Research Facility after Mos Entha, for example.

3. I strongly believe it'd be a bad idea to put all the space maps together. What currently happens is that all the players who for some reason hate space maps enough to quit the server when they show up (don't ask, I have no idea why, truly) leave, and then rejoin when the space map is over. I also know that space maps with few players simply aren't very fun, so if Taloraan gets player counts down to 6-10 and those 6-10 are treated with another space map, there's a high chance even more will quit because they're not having fun. The result of this is that maps change even more slowly. If those 6-10 people are thrown back into a planetary map, however, numbers will quickly regrow. That's my theory, anyhow .

Some of this is covered in the post above, of course, but I wrote this quickly, so pardon me.

If the tards who quit the space maps stay in, they would be over with very fast -
like today in the most awesome taloraan map we played , lots of people and it played out really well.

I think there are a lot of bad ideas in this map rotation, first having all the space maps at the end together? How exactly is that going to help keep the server full? If you don't like spacemaps and then a load appear in a row then you are just going to leave for good and find another server. If you have a nice mix of spacemaps and ground maps it keeps everyone happy, people who don't like space maps will know that at least after this spacemap finishes there will be a ground map to follow, so they are more likely to stick it out. Same with people who like space maps, they know that after a ground map there is a good chance that the next map will be a space one. So with this in mind I have to say that I totally disagree with that idea.

Also I don't know about starting with Bestine, unless you're talking about the 16 player version. We've found that a better map to start your rotation on is Mos Entha, being a small infantry map it works well when you are just trying to get the server going with only a few players, then you can escalate things by either moving on to Mos Espa, or perhaps an Endor map, and then as the server fills you can be in a good position to start playing the larger combined arms maps like Rhen Var: Ice Plains and Ryloth.
