That is unfortunate. It might be worth trying again. Freewebs may just have been going through a busy period. I just tried the links and they are all working

Let me know how you get on.

You could make your own one by signing up to the server. It's free and that way you could customise the site how you like it. It's easy to use too: just select all the bits you want to add and the "site builder" will automatically do the coding. We could create a link to between our sites and build a mini community.

the advantage of that is that between two sites we'll have more space to have more maps. I think the current limit is 40MB per site so if you had one too we'd have 80MB total space instead of sharing 40.

Let me know what you think

New maps available for download. Check them out!

Redman, how did you get on with the hosting issue? Did you make a site in the end?

Very nice maps.

2 more new maps:
Endgame - Simple 4 player map with a Transwarp Hub
The Final Frontier - Exploration map where you don't quite know where anyone is. (This one may not be entirely Borg or Dominion friendly!!)

They are included in Update THREE bringing the total maps in my map pack to eight .

Enjoy.


(I'm particularly interested in how The Final Frontier plays so if anyone has any interesting stories to tell for multiplayer then do tell!)

Hi there phoneix, i just saw your post, ill take a look at creating my site...

Awesome, yeah I can see a collaboration working quite well . Two heads are better than one and all that!

What did you think of the new uploads?

(also, thought you might be interested to know that I spoke to Optec and he said that a "no stars" odf will be added in the next release so that "The Void" will no longer need a custom odf, and will therefore remove the requirement for everyone to have it for multiplayer )

The map Sigma Draconis has breen ships and stations on it but when i tried to claim them all it did was transport over and it still wasn't mine.. i think you have them set wrong other than that it is a cool map

it would be nice to see some maps that are not so symmetrical. ik this is harder to do and keep balence and all but the make for a more interesting map.

yeah itd be nice to have some objectives, and campaigh, and some bigger maps, for like 16 people, even tho you cant have 16 people, and some that are curvy like a S, or a C

Shameless bump.

I've updated my maps pack to be compliant with Fleetops 3.1.0 and as such, it is now called "Pack 1, Update 4"

Nothing new as such, just updated to work with the current version.

Now... to sleep

One new map; Beta Aquilae

Check my original post for details of all current releases and/or click the link on my signature.

Comments are welcome and very much encouraged. In particular, I'm interested to know whether the map encourages different kinds of fleet strategies, how well it balances between the three players and how it feels in terms of exploration and realism. As a secondary note, I'd like to know how well the Borg handle some of the tighter regions of the map.

  Wow!  This map looks ASTOUNDING!  I'm entranced already.

In particular, I'm interested to know whether the map encourages different kinds of fleet strategies...

Well I can't tell just yet by looking at it as I can't see where the starting positions are, but I think that this map will indeed encourage just that: multiple fleet strategies and encouraged use of specific vessels.

...how well it balances between the three players...

It does seem a little big for 3 Players right off the bat.  Again once I see where the starting points are and how the moons are distributed I might have a better idea.  Big maps and FFA's in general tend to encourage a made tech-race.

... and how it feels in terms of exploration and realism.

Well I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that since it looks astonishing from the mini, I'm gonna guess that there is a lot to do strat-wise. 


WAY to fuckin' go !!!
