The Terran and Protoss have been through a long epic war, and the final battle has come down to this: one battlecruiser versus one mothership. Be the crew and/or pilot of your favourite race's last surviving flagship, and defeat your enemy by upgrading your ship, battling through asteroids, and infiltrating the enemy's ship.
Each ship can have one captain at a time to micro the battlecruiser/mothership
Everyone else is a crewman and fights
(you can switch who is captain at any time)
Money
Kill enemy civilians and heroes to get money for your ship
Money is shared and can be used by the current captain to build turrets and fighter ships
Experience
Level up for killing enemy heroes
Currently levelling up only gives bonus armor, health, and damage
Dying once or switching hero types resets your level
(but you level up fast)
Environmental Hazards
Mutalisk swarms attack your ships at random
Pick up helpful mineral fields that spawn every 90 seconds
This is the first release of this map, so come on out and try it. You don't need a 5v5 to play because players will join alternating teams as they join. So come on out and try Defense of the Ship! (DOTS?) ;o nice acronym.
Oh....So somebody is piloting a battlecruiser or something while people inside are disabling bits of it and stuff...Souns fun, but then (sorry to ask) what do the pilots do? Are they even players? And if they are, wouldn't it get boring just flying a ship and attacking one other ship. Also, this sounds like a really, really, unique map. I'm so happy...:)
Also, I'd suggest making a video because it could get newsed and you'll have a lot more interested people.

<reserved for if i need it>
Well what do the guys do in their own ship if they are not piloting?
@zeldarules28: Go
Players can take dropships between the ships - invading them. So you'd be either attacking or defending.
Reasons to attack:

The pilots (captains):
Micro the ship (use abilities) Fight off the mutalisks Collect the mineral fields Manage the inside buildings
The map idea is pretty unique - my biggest hurdle next is to get it to the top of the popularity list =/
I'll add videos
Hooray! Video = Newsed = Popular :D
has anyone noticed that the new popularity system lets less popular maps balloon to the top? Ppl are actually playing DOTS now!
