I always wanted to make a map like this, and the awesome Galaxy Editor finally made it possible!

(click the images for a full size view to get blown away)
Features:
- Start locations: 2
- Mining locations: 7
- Looks: Awesome
Concerns:
- Open spaces: None
- Balanced: Not at all
Comments:
The huge engine block between the two mains will block air units (as soon as I figure out how to do that), so the air rush distance isn't as short as it looks.
Adding Island expansions would make the map bigger, but even more terran favored.
Due to the model of the Battlecruiser, the layout is pretty much final. I tried to add rocky island expansions with bridges leading to them, but the editor doesn't allow pathing on bridges yet. This would also take away lots of the ambience.
I was also thinking about making a bigger version or even a 4 player version, depending on feedback.
Tell me what you think!

mothership map: not gonna happen (until someone makes a custom model of it..)

Sweeeeet. Looks awesome, but doubt it's balanced (as you noted). Thumbs up dude!
|
man this looks like a somewhat feasible map Lol looks amazing.
|
WHAT.
This looks AWESOME. It's like the dreamliner map, but for SC2. And with moar Cattlebruiser. What a frakking awesome concept for a map. 
I'm concerned with the gasses on the natural. What's up with them being so far apart? And the 3rd feels super far away.
|
I am blown away. I can't wait to play this.
|
WOW.... while this may not be as polished as the official map set, I gotta give you credits for the idea and details on the 2nd pic.
btw, would the player spawning at the 1 o'clock position be at a disadvantage because the bulge seem to be blocking vision of his main base
|
I don't feel comfortable enough to critique the balance and playability of a map, but this is the first time I feel compelled to post: this is gorgeous. I'm in love.
Do you still get the feeling of playing on a huge battlecruiser even when zoomed in to play mode? I fear a lot of the wow factor might go away without the overview.
|
Even if it was the most unbalanced map in the history of Starcraft i would play this, love it :D
|
|
|
looks like a fake scrap station tbh lol
|
just with slightly different positioning of mineral patches/watch towers
|
Though I really does seem like scrap station it's pretty interesting to concept a map in unit schematics 
|
so um... can we make battlecruisers on this map? o.O

This is absolutely fantastic!! 10/10 man haha awesome

Yes but no more than one as it covers the whole map perfectly.
|
WOW! Beautiful map, and an awesome concept. Balance issues or no, it would be so much fun to play on.
P.S. - But what happens if you build a battle cruiser on a battle cruiser? What if every battle cruiser has a small battle on it with other small battle cruisers that have battles on them with more battle cruisers?? You're blowing my mind man!!!
|
This is so terran biased, quick someone make a mothership map next!

LOL hahaha from marines to critters to micro organisms fighting each other
|
It's like a tourist spot for people,
here is the cock pit of general dugalle before he blow his own brain, afterwards this is the core where we try to assimilate as much energy to force down a Yamato Blast to an opponents building.
such creative goodness in this keep it up :D
|
So its like scrap station, with the soon to be blocked air-rush distance, with a gold that isn't as easy to take as it is on scrap. While being planted on a battlecruiser.
While the tiny corridors make my zerg-instincts cringe, I find this map to be totally awesome. 10/10 for design.
|
Awesome! I am a huge fan of this concept, and the execution looks great from the screenshots. Very very cool.

Yo dawg, I heard you like battlecruisers so now you can make battlecruiser on your battlecruiser!
Awesome looking map rofl

working on it.
Getting the terrain right will be much harder with the mothership, but the map could be way more balanced

NO DONT CHANGE IT!!!
doesn't a battlecruiser map HAVE to be terran biased, by definition? XD it's an AMAZING map!!! Great job.... now just let me find those siege tanks...
|
god, 2nd and 3rd base are TOO easy to defend and the rush distant is far + there is no space for ground army => air play heavy => aint good for Z  ...
need to fix the position of watch towers to give more crucial information so that people would like to take control of it more often.
try to wide out the map and add in "destroyable object" to block the way instead of makeing the path ways small...
imagine a stalker amry on hold position => no way zerlings can surround such thing
this map is like T>P>Z due to AoE and air power!
|
Don't like the fact that the playable map is only 1/3 of the entire map, but it's asthetically awesome!
Maybe you could make the entire BC slightly bigger so EVERYTHING is stretched out, and possibly add another way instead of one direct route to the enemy?
P.S. It would be funny building BC's on this map hahaha.
|
|
|
This is just so...WOW I didn't expect that. Great job, can't wait to play on it!

Ha, this is awesome!

|
Oh wow this is the best sc2 map made so far.
|
Yeeeaaaah!! nice maaap!! i hope you can make it a little bigger, but anyway i will play it lol
|
goddamn theres so many people with talent on these forums...
looks great dude
|
If you can make me a map where I can fight on a Broodlord or an Ultralisk, then you are a god.

Once a Terran builds a Battlecruiser you start again from scratch on a new map and so on ... and these matches have to be resolved before jumping back to an older one.

In the same layer as pathing, you can add no-fly zones.
Also lookin' pretty cool.
|
|
|
HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME, need to play this map XD
|
well, i think the mothership (and ultralisk, broodlord, whatever) version will have to wait until the editor gets more powerful.
there are just too many huge objects on the mothership that block the ingame camera if you were to play on a mothership map

Battlecruiser map >>> Boeing 747 map. Sorry Korean Air.
(Dreamliner might still manage to be more balanced though.)
|
|
|
This is a sweet looking map, good job man; can't wait to play!
|
IT's pretty darn creeative
|
Wow this is so epic that even the epicness of space helicopters on the very map stay unnoticed. Awesome!!
|
This is amazing!
The concept kind of reminds me of playing Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl on the flying Pokemon Floats...
|
The yo dawg-yos on this map are awesome. love it.
|
Simply amazing.
Also yo-dawgs are the only 4chan meme that actually makes me laugh for some reason.

Holy shit, this is pretty damn awesome.
Screw the balance, just have fun with it.
|
wow this is so cool, great job!
|
Sir, I bow before your greatness
|
It would be awesome if when your playing there is a space battle going on in the background.
|
Rofl. This is so funny and creative, good job.
|
Sweet looking map, even though it is a bit unbalanced. Make a Mothership map, or a Zergling!
|

Battlecruising Interceptors?

Nitpicky, but can Banshees really fly in space?
Excellent map nevertheless.
|
Really nice work!

Next gonna be a mothership ok?

Were fucked...
Edit: You know what's awesome? You can easily do it with the editor.
Make a giant carrier that uses battlecruisers as interceptors (with their superfast flying speed)
AND they can use yamato.
|
Looks so much better than Dreamliner that's for sure!
|
I like the concept, but it seems really, really mech favoured. Not to mention you MS-Painted a dick on there .

i thought about this while making the map, but it would be rather hard to do without using triggers.
as soon as triggers are changed you can't play it as a melee map anymore

I tried this, but the architecture of the mothership doesn't allow it. there would be huge parts of it obscuring the view while playing
to clarify, i made some screenshots:

but using ingame camera it would look like this:

whoa that looks amazing!
Would love a bigger 4 player version though, if you ever feel like bothering to make one . The concept and balance issues kinda scream for more casual types of games
|

lmao, you're very observant
i like this map! i think the only other feasible map based on an air unit would be the mothership. do it nao. would probably be a 3 player map, one for each section, with a watchtower in the middle and island expos next to the mains. would have to make some sort of bridge to connect each sector probably.
edit: oh i can see now that it wont work :[
|
Really interesting man, wonder how it would play out. It definitely gets an A+ on looks and creativity, good job. No real suggestions on improvements because I would have to play it to determine any. Nice work, keep it up!
|
Finally Battlecruisers in SC2 found their real purpose. 
|
Love it, can't wait to give a go.
|
love this map^^ creative work!
|
|
|
When sc2 pl starts this concept must be in the map pool 8D
|
Great concept, at least you're thinking outside the box, regardless of balance it should be a fun test map.
|
Awesome map. If this was some kind of UMS map in the setting of a BC it would be awesome.
|
man that is so epic. Great thinking there man. kudos!

This is one of the coolest maps posted on the forums :D
|
|
|
Gotta say it's an amazing map!
Only thing is is that the sides aren't symmetric. I'm not even worried about balance, it just feels a bit off because of it.
Still, there needs to be more maps like this one! I also just love the background too. It's very cool. In fact, if there was someway to get the Battlecrusiers to be flying around in the background...
The potential is endless.
|
I don't care if this is imbalanced for Zerg, : D I want to play this.
Good job!
|
What an awesome idea. I hope you can manage to at least get it semi balanced!
|
Well, maybe you can't make amothership, but you can make a pretty badass flying saucer thing ;OO
|
Lol This looks like such a fun map, hats off
|
You could easily make this into a 2v2 map. Place 2 bc's facing each other (6/12 or 3/9). Connecting bridges as yamato blasts. Best to angle them so you can have 2 different bridges from the blasts.
|
Love it! I did click for the larger image, and my mind was blown!
So what about a map on the back of an Ultra?
|
That looks amazing. Short games and if anyone manages to hold on to the gold it would probably be game over.

I hope this map will be famous, then teamliquid will be famous along with the map creator. keke.
|
Wow, wasn't expecting any maps like this, it looks amazing! Great job (:
My mind is starting to imagine some crazy maps ahah, so many possibilities!
|
This looks so amazing!
I have a suggestion: Maybe you could change the look of those mineral/geysers to make it look like one is collecting metal/oil.
I thnink it feels strange to have minerals on a battlecruiser.
|
|
|
this reminds me of the kirby/metaknight stage in super smash bros wii. great work, looks pretty awesome!
|
|
|
This is going straight in my map pool. Awesome concept and work on it 
|
I think a good idea would be to make an island map with multiple battle cruisers "islands."
|
Hahahaha screw balance man, this is just a fun, awesome map.
Nice work dude, really well done
|
OMG how long did that take?!
|
|
|
Nitpicky, but can Banshees really fly in space?
In space....everyone can hear her scream....cuz...she's a banshee!
|
Dude, that is so awesome
Just for kicks, also publish it as a UMS map where the only mobile units you can build (except the SCV of course) are battle cruisers. It would be more a macro/tech race than anything else but come on, you're ON a battlecruiser! I would play it (if I knew how to play Terran).
|
Oh LOL, I also noticed the Viking escort hanging around at the bottom of the map. :D
|
|
|
great job man, its so cool to see stuff like this. Really look forward to playing on it
|
Shit really did just get real.
|
Amazing man... just amazing. A dream map come true. I can't wait to download it!
|
This is the best sc2 custom map ever.
|
Hey another idea why dont u make a carrier map and let the interceptors be island expos ^^?
Although thats gonna be insanely terran biaseddd haha cant imagine moving island expos
|
I got these images from that movie where this father shrinks downs his family and they have to escape in a giant world (they are micro, world is not giant).. you could make the Battlecruiser a bit larger, why not go all out? I mean its already way to big why not make it a little bigger, smal maps are not that fun imo
thumps up for the idea, I love the creativity.
|
Sexy map!
Now gogo marauder map?
|

Ok, new task for OP: random event yamatos going off up the wazoo. Kind of like in smash...it'll be like a UMS challenge map or something.
|
Fantastic job man! That map is awesome!
Except uh... You aren't providing a DL link anywhere so we can't actually play it! *sniffle*
You're almost as bad as Blizzard, tempting us with something AWESOME and then not providing (see B.net 2.0)
|
This is the best map I've seen so far, the details are amazing.
Now make a hatchery map!!
|
Awesome keep it going man! Wish You the best.
|
|
|
What is the status of this map. I would love to play on it.
|
|
|
Haha, this map is awesome!
|
even tho it doesn't look like a very playable map....i absolutely really friggin wanna play on it!!!
excellent work dude!
|
Liking the map. Looks like fun.
|
Very well done! Good work!
|
|
|
i've always wanted to play on a map like this!
looks amazing!
|
You waiting until SC2 releases to release your map? If so then you're a tease
|
Is this map available somewhere? This look so cool!
|
OMG BEST MAP EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Great job!
Please make more (of different units)
|
|
|
awesme but i think tanks can be a bit overpowerd there but ofc on a battlecruiser t must be in favor xD
|
|
|
|
|
You deserve a medal... God i love it <3
|
Is this available for download anywhere?
Cuz theres a party in my pants and this map is definitely invited.
|
i wanna play
|
So how strong are terran contains outside natural on this map?
|
Awesome, I hope you can figure out how to make the gigantic BC (seems to be) moving as well as the background ships. Possibly allow the Kapital ship to sorts of releasing dropships or something for xtra awesomeness
|
|
|
Scale it up about 50-100%, it's too small as is, Great concept and work. Mad props
