Simulation Deck is really fun. It may look shooter friendly, and it is in a way. But if the opponent has no Shatterbeam, those doors towards the sides really block LOS, and the towers in the corner helps a lot with the LOS. A bit tough on Large figs, with all the hindering, but it is a fun map.

BEST MAP EVER!  only map that's the same on both sides, though, I favor the red side for some reason  So much rough terrain really slows you down.Yobuck'll move at the speed of Porkins.

5-7. I think these are the Deep Vistas maps, but I don't have them. The Deep Vistas maps are the same size as the Star Wars maps, but the physical copies aren't marked with the terrain markings. The Vassal versions are marked. They're not rated for SWM tournaments.
10. Mass Transit III (I think this should be #8, but it is numbered as #10)
9. Mass Transit IV
10. Deck Space
Those are the numbers, but again I think it's better to just use the names of the map products instead of the numbers. I agree. I think most people know them as Mass Transit I through IV, Forsaken Lands I and II, and Deck Space I and II (Deck Space I and II are different maps, they were just released at the same time).

Wow! Those maps are very professionally done. They look well thought out, and should be quite fair for both sides. I'm guessing "sinkhole world" is Utapau. That simulation deck and the other side are my favourites. Very even on both sides!

Christopher West (mapsofmastery.com, username on BlooMilk: MapMaker) was WotC's artist for the 'official' maps, so it's no accident that his maps look professional.  Utapau is one of JediCartographer's maps. He also does excellent work.

Are you mixing up Deck Space and Battlestations (the two new ones)? Deck Space is the name of a map pack from a few months ago. It came out at the same time as Mass Transit IV. The two maps are: * a completely blank map with squares that match the floor pattern of Christopher West's cargo tiles; * and the other side is a blank map except for rail lines running through it like the rail lines in most of the Mass Transit maps.
