I'm sorry, but it does happen, heck I've even seen you on the RT server pop off when a space map comes on only to return later. Or stick it out for a space map knowing that there will be a ground map next, so don't tell me that that doesn't happen.

Though it is true that a spacemap can kill a server sometimes, Yavin being the worst culprit, I think this is due to the poor performance some people get on this map coupled with the fact that a lot of Vista users have problems with it too.

I still think mixing it up is the best way to maintain a server making sure every flavour that is available within First Strike is not far away, diversity is the key, and I agree that this should extend to the various types of ground map available as well as the mix between space and ground. As long as people know their favorite map or game type is not far away and that the next map will be a different experience to the one they're currently playing they'll stick around.

If you put four space maps in a row, they'll empty the server and Escape from Hoth and Convoy Raid simply won't be played. I think you know that quite well. If you insist on having four space maps in a row, you might as well just remove all but one of them altogether .

Which is tragic, but no reason to ruin them for the rest of us.

hehe, space maps and voip are great for that very reason

There are maps I hate, maps I love, but I dont leave a server when a map i dont like comes along, why empty a populated server for no reason other than a map you dont like is on. Seems rather silly to me, when half those people that leave dont start another server (thereby helping kickstart other servers and keep the mod going), then the upcoming infantry map takes a while to repopulate again.

I also notice that a lot of those people who claim to hate space are the ones that are first to start arguing over who got to a flying craft first when playing on Ryloth.......
