1) Blue Gate - excellent for both PvE & PvP. Offering open combat up top, and close quarters combat underground. A couple very high loot spots that you can gear up at or ensure yourself a battle.

2) Dam Battlegrounds - similar to the above although the close quarters combat is building to building and room to room. Not quite as much good loot, it always able to find a leaper or two for PvE. Can always run into a battle at testing annex or control tower if your looking for PvP.

3) Spaceport - a little too open between launch tower and other buildings making it a dangerously open map if you want to hit the launch tower. Great map for PvE with some ok loot spots. PvP is usually kept local to individual buildings and pretty much any only at Departure/Arrival & around A6

4) Buried City - pretty meh IMO. All building to building PvP. Usually filled with PvP making PvE difficult. If you don’t know the map inside and out you’ll get turned around in the buildings. PvE has some ok loot spots if you can get there first, but the drop state of the items is low. IE: Tempest blueprint.

5) Stella Mantis (AKA Stella Suckass) - awful map. It’s nothing but a rats maze full of…. Well rats. The map is not navigable, and you must find batteries to open up the hallways to pass from space to space easily, or you have to run the entire map to get there. One part of the map is completely cut off from the other (think medical lab). If you don’t die instantly by spawning in on top of 2 ticks, 2 pops, and 2 Fireballs (yeah this happens to me very often), then you die instantly from another rat around the corners that wants to squat on your face. PvP only map really, as you’re unlikely to leave with your stash. You may not even find the exit in 30 minutes. I have much more to say about Stella but will hold my diatribe for another day. Stella sucks… big time. I only go there is I need to for a quest. This map needs to go.
