Bespin is the least popular because somehow none of us has a copy! YEah I stuck with the maps he has listed. I have found that newer game groups like Seattle and Atlanta have both shown that bespin is not a favorite in my speaking with them. Where for me personally Bespin and the Massassi Temple are my two favs

also, wondering which ones of the below are the most "popular" (you can list them in a list from greatest to least in a response please) ...BC me and my friend dont reall yknow...:
-2007 Map, not the Korriban one
-Korriban
-Ravaged Base
-Massassi Temple
-Endor Surface
-Rancor Pit
-Muunlist Plaza
-Starship (RotS starter map)
thanks guys, really appreciate the help! :) Based on your list the order of popularity are as follows: Rancor Pit -1 Ravaged Base -2 Muunlist Plaze - 3 Chancellors Throne room - 4 Massassi Temple - 5 Starship - 6 Endor Surface/ Korriban - 7th and tied for least desirable As far as worth you need to kind of put them together how they come packaged. Rancor/ Ravaged/ Massassi / Endor - All part of AOE pack.... you should not pay more then $9 for this period. Should be able to get this with all the maps for around 5-6. Great bargain. Chancellors Throne Room / korriban - 2007 starter . Again same deal you should not pay more than $9 in any way for this. Not a good as bargain but still reasonably priced. Muunlist and Starship - Both are seperate but I lumped them together because they are getting ahrder and harder to find. The truth is you are probably going to pay a minimum of $20 for each of these maps unless you find some sort of special deal. wow, really?! never knew muunlist was worth that much...only thought it was at max $9...  also, understand starship as its like the ONLY map that has a really hard (cardboard?) back...its a def. sturdy board and really fun to play with (great line of sight...) also, as a side note are [unopened] damage counter sheets hard to find? i have a couple from a trade...wondering if i should leave them as is or open them

See, in our area, I would definitely say that Throne Room is the #1 favorite, followed by Ruined Base, and then Rancor pit somewhere below that. I like playing on Rancor Pit quite a lot, but several of the other guys would never choose to bring it. Then again, some of the other local guys always play on the exact same map every week, no matter what, just because they're most familiar with that one, and don't like having to learn new maps, lol. Quote:its a def. sturdy board and really fun to play with (great line of sight...) Are you saying that all the other maps are tough to draw line of sight on them because of the folds? I assume you're not using anything to flatten them out then. I would HIGHLY recommend buying a sheet of plexiglass or get the poster-sized top loaders for your maps. To choose Starship over the other maps simply because it lays flatter is really selling yourself short, IMO. You can pick up plexi for pretty cheap at Lowes/Home Depot, and the map-sized top-loaders can be found for about $10 or so several places online. Can get them cheaper if you bulk order several, and have your friends chip in.

I have order my top loaders of amazon Shipped 60.00 for 10, (i have done this twice now) it's great cause you can use whiteboard markers to drawn on gambit, keep track of score and FP and door, Locked or blown up. There are some great maps out there.

Where I was at for Tourneys they used to have the judges randomly select the map for you
The LGS kept 4 copies of every league kit map

At my venue Ravaged Base and Rattatack Arena are the popular ones. I try to mix it up all the time but these two seem to always show up from someone.

Someone just gave me 6 of them plus other league kit items. But, for the record. I can count most of the time.
