Hera. It is big and there are lots of weldable vents and doors <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Eclipse, second favourite caged. I can't stand Hera (partially because of Processing and the fact that I'm almost always kharaa, partially because I just don't like it.) I'm not a big tanith fan, but I'm getting used to it.
Ah, too many good maps! Lets see it's a close tie between Hera, Bast, Caged, Nothing, Tanith and Eclipse. I have had great games on all of them. I think I'll have to say Hera, because that was the first map I played and it originally left me speechless.
nancy is great, i love it bigtime, the rooms and of course the vents, I have them all in my head <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Thew only thing I hate about it are stupid rines that lose their base way too much by a single skulk (usually me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ), the rinestart doesnt suck, u just need to know how to defend it properly...
I love hera becuz it has a very nice touch too it, the beauty of it! ventilation hive is very very nice and all the fights in it are always a lot of fun, the room next to processing with the 2nd level is pwnage aswell, I love to fight in there, altho I think hera has on big problem, the exits to rine base are way too long, wich makes it for them more profitabble to relocate, they could be easily locked in, in the first 5 mins (by 2 gorgs, ive seen it happen). and that makes it not much fun for the rines.
The doubleres is too near to the marine start, but still I love it. It is the map where I knifed an onos for the first time <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> There should be more vents too, not just the ones connecting the hives and the one coming from the doubleres (or the 3, counting the one up the wall and the one up the ladder)
Hera and Bast, definitely. Despite the issues with processing and sieging engine from the marine start. Those maps have a special style. For Hera it's the height differences with fighting on multiple levels, for Bast the marine-friendly vent system. The graphics are also excellent. Close third, Nancy, also known as the vent system from hell <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> but those vents are really useful once you get used to them, and a map really helps too. Playing on that map as alien against marines who don't know the vents is quite amusing, they just see skulks appearing out of nowhere <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hera minus the evil processing. Theres just so much I can do on Hera, and I get the best feel for the game from that map.
The Multi-Levels, Numerous Welds, and tactical options to both sides can result in some very good fights. Hopefully with the new Hera and the processing fix it will be even better.
Nothing is great, as it just turns into a battle for cargo <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Curvy wall thingies, big, lots of vents. Aside from the proc thing (which is being fixed), it's great <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Amazingly, even though it's very JP friendly, I find marines tend to have a hard time on this map...which I'm of course glad about <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
My favorite is Eclipse, hands down. I *try* to play it the most, and I find its gameplay somewhat different then the others but in a better way. Nothing comes in a pretty close second. And Hera is might be my third, the issues with Processing and I really don't care for double resource nodes.

Yes, JP pwns in this map, especially in early game.....well actually JP pwns in every map, when it is used against skulks.
I dont ever look at the map apart from customs, I suppose I dont have a favourite, but I have no love for Bast(LAG)
As in when I'm gonna connect to a server, ill only ever go on the amount of players, I wont even pa attention to the map, thou I do a lot in other mods <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

And, just to show you how wierd I am, I also love ns_bast. Most people hate it, thats just cause they never play on it =D
Edit: I can't spell.

Thew only thing I hate about it are stupid rines that lose their base way too much by a single skulk (usually me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ), the rinestart doesnt suck, u just need to know how to defend it properly...

Eclipse
Caged
(was H,C,E but I changed my mind)
Hera: Really cool layout, lots of interesting stuff, positions that are really worth fighting for, looks really really good. I could go on, I wont.
Eclipse: Nice and open, pleasant to look at, best marine spawn ever. RTs all spaced out so it's a war for res more often than not.
Caged: BEST GORGE MAP EVER. That is all.
