        I just wanted to give some additional information.  The maps are 
not suited for skirmish against the AI because of the general need to build 
ships on them, which is something I have never seen the AI do.  They are 
very well suited for multiplayer human games over a LAN or online gaming 
service, though!  We've had some truly epic games with these maps.  
        Feel free to put them up on your web page or modify them as you see 
fit.  I for one would like to see more organic homemade maps instead of the 
ridiculously symmetrical, over-monied maps that seem to be in greatest 
availability.  This is a little thank-you to the gaming community; let's 
see what you can do too!
