Yeah, I have part completed map three though unfortunately it is not optimized for single player. That said, there are few pirate block points in comparison to the other maps so the AI should have an easier time of it.

I have instead been focusing on developing a series of maps for the Battle Fleet Gothic Mod for both single and multiplayer campaign gaming experiences. I chose to do this as I have found that very rarely are custom maps played online :/, and it is custom maps for multiplayer that really interests me.

Anyway, that said I'll make a re-newed effort to finish map three and focus on the single player aspect.

Yes, I have put the third map together with all stars placed and about 75% of the 'planets' also placed. There is still a bit to do as I also have to set the inter-star phase lanes through a text editor. That said, technically I could get it finished in around 5 hours or so, which would include some play testing, this assuming I have five hours to spend in one go .

I should also note that I have the campaign system worked out...but I doubt there will be enough people wanting to play it to warrant the time I will have to spend to moderate it and release maps with established forces and empires, to represent players' decisions in the wider game.

Plus, given that Frogboy (aka Brad?) is now throwing around the idea and mooting 'official' campaigns...well. That said, there will be a similar series of maps and a campaign system for the Battle Fleet Gothic Mod; and the delay in getting this off the ground is down to the delay in releasing decent mod tools and guides. But thats to be expected if IC and SD are intending to run their own projects.
