By the way, I just joined Forge Hub and this is my first contribution, so hello to everyone!

IMPORTANT: I just looked at the rule for map posting and it says to post a link to Bungie forums- NOT to your fileshare. I obviously have erred here by posting a link to my fileshare. Could someone explain what they want for me? I'm new to this and I'd like to not get into trouble immediately with that sort of thing.

Background:
This map was inspired by "Flying Saucers" only in the sense that those flying saucers looked interesting and I imitated their basic concept. The idea of the map is that the Alien team (defending team) is assaulting Avalanche in their flying saucers. The saucers are bombarding specific points on the level with fusion coils. The attacking team must attack the flying saucers from the ground (or a hornet).

Design:
Four flying saucers are placed asymmetrically around the map (Avalanche). Each saucer is accesible via mancannons/mancannon assisted ramps/grav lifts. The general concept is that the defending aliens have a weapon advantage at long range in order to stop the attackers from reaching the saucers, and the attackers of a weapon advantage at short range if and when the reach the saucers. Many aspects (including some spawn points) of the map change during symmetric and asymmetric games. The central tunnel area of the map is blocked off by energy blockers.
NOTE: The Alien "Attackers" aren't attacking anything- that's just the cute little background story for the map. The "Aliens" hang out on the flying saucers and the actual attacking team attacks them. The flying saucers are the territories that need to be captured in territories. In other games, they're just platforms to snipe from. Sorry for the confusion.

In asymmetric games, the defending team starts in their base and cannot get out other than by using four one-way teleporters to their respective flying saucers. The defenders have a choice of primarily long-range weapons to choose from before leaving. The attackers have a choice of primarily short-range weapons along with six mongooses and a hornet with which they are to attack the flying saucers.

In symmetric games, the weapon choice is very limited, so the infinite ammo option would likely need to be on in game options. The defending team no longer has teleporters, but they do have two banshees, two ghosts, and one prowler. The weapons are also tweaked to be more balanced.

Gameplay:
All gametypes possible, but objective games work better, especially assymetric games. Territories is probably the best.
Assault (one bomb or multi)
CTF (one flag or multi)
Territories
Alien Invaders variant demonstrates some tweaks to ammo and weapon pickup specific for the map.

Questions:
How is the weapon balance- both symmetric and asymmetric?

How is the effect of the teleporters?

How is the accessibility of the flying saucers other than through the teleporters? Is it too easy? Too difficult? How could it be improved?

How is the vehicle balance/anti-vehicle weapon balance?

Any other comments are welcome- this is a rough first test of the map.

Special thanks to eguitarplaya33 for teaching me how to get these picture on here.
