The map is still amazing looking, and still a parking lot for the first 20-30 mins.
One player did send out a group of l1 fighters twice... Squashed by ODS's both times, but the second got a few l1 mexxes and a con ship first. Other then that not a thing happened in ~22 minutes.
FF maps just need more metal IMHO.
Edit: They need metal for the early and mid game... Eventually you get capital ship swarms regardless.
The total metal is just fine, but the building of the l1 and l2 mexes just costs to much metal, especially on maps with low metal/mex.
You WANT to expand, but building 50+ mexes will completely drain your metal for the first 5-10 minutes instead of giving a boost.
The big mohos are alright with their price, but the earlier ones just drain a lot.
