NOTE: All shots are IN PROGRESS shots of the map in development, nothing here is by any means finished yet, I know any professional mappers will already know this, so this message isnt here for you if you are one
The Syrix was the largest space vessal ever created by the Humans, suited for both space and atmospheric conditions
The idea was to have fighters launching on the inside of a large fold in the ship to defend against bording parties
Unfortunatly as the take off velocities of the Space Fighters got larger and larger the problem of collisions arose and the Syrix was decommissioned
Liandri immediatly made a huge offer, one of its largest purchases ever, surely a ship so large would offer many exciting battlefields, however to Liandri's dissapointment only one was found
The grear arms of the ship, with the Space Fighter bays on the inside, knock a few floors in, add a few things, maybe some floating platforms, perfect

The Flag Room is a compact arena, however attackers will have to take a winding route to the flag, they are very exposed to fire from the ledges and shooting back (as confirmed in an attack simulation with bots) is difficult

Above the Flag Room is the Raptor Hanger, teleporters lead to the ledge where Raptors will eventualy be found on the pads
As you ascend the roof will open up to allow your exit, but will quickly close to stop enemy Raptors getting in
So far I however I have just gained the knowledge that adding Raptors to a CTF map is complicated

You may notice in the first shot a small dorway off the corridor in the distance, behind it is a small squat room housing weapons, suited for outside combat for attackers leaving the base, and a sheild pack for good measure

And yes I know I'm probably not supposed to use the attachments like this, so feel free to delete them once people have seen

Yeah, I think you better delete all these attachments immediately! Those already ate up more bandwidth than my TCom donation was worth!  
Haha, I'm just jokin ya, man! 
Screenies look good - I like the idea where you have to jump onto the flag pedestal. Makes it dangerous for the flag grabber because he's vulnerable and quite visible. 
Just one thing I noticed. In the second pic, that set of stairs looks... odd. Like a set of steps from nowhere. It needs a little more with it - maybe fill in the area underneath and/or a little beside it to give it a more 'solid' look.
I'm not cuttin you down, and you could probably map circles around me. Just a friendly, constructive criticism.

Full steps with a back on them just looked very out of place, Im gonna do something else to them, just not sure what yet
Next step though is the outside, If I get this right and all goes as planned it is gonna be awesome out there
