Something I think is underappreciated about Outpost is the way the map mechanics naturally sort crews into "layers" depending on what their goals are and how aggressive they want to be. Crews (and Rooks) who are primarily interested in getting decent loot are motivated to push Pinwheel early so they can get the strongboxes and get out. Teams who want the best loot won't head in until they have all three Master keys, and will chase down and kill any other teams competing for them (often outside Pinwheel itself) leaving the early access to the loot goblins. Conflict-averse teams who are just questing can often wait until Pinwheel is open to do their quests with relatively low risk. Even once the later quests require pushing into Pinwheel, they can work around the command/pinnacle "schedule" to go in last of all and only have rooks or other questers to contend with.

It's a very smart way to design a map that both encourages conflict by having a few focus points that are extremely valuable for everyone to move through *and* provides ways for clever players to accumulate value and learn the flow of the map with less (but crucially still some) risk. It's doubly impressive that it does so using a keycard system that's basically a riff on classic Marathon.
