-Bsp in the bases, btw i take advantage of this to make zones in the trenchs and adding a slightly more brightness there .
-As the first impression was good: it's to far to add a Jumppad to 13, even with modified jumpz, so i add teleport to 13 and 10.
-If you think the map will fit well to the map roster so i thing you can test.
Now on the server. Constructive feedback very welcome people.

This map looks absolutely awesome, thank you - yep, 11/10
Love the large-scale terrain, the visuals, the bases & unique layout - the crashed ship, tunnels & interior/exterior battle spaces... it's the kind of thing that keeps ONS alive & interesting, extending the scope of the game - and keeping UT 2004 relevant / appealing in an age of ever-more mind-blowing game graphics!
ps: only comment so far would be regarding the "energy fields" in the bases - the bright purple pulses along the walls are a bit hectic on the eye, I think mainly as they are un-textured areas of highly saturated colour ...mebbe some sort of texture on these, or using a different animation, such as on the recent Baldur edit?
...ok, having played the map a couple of times: think it's important to have more flyers, as the map is huge and some nodes can only be accessed by air - please, a good selection in bases (3 x Raptors and/or Aurora/Phoenix/Falcon) ...and a few more at the corner nodes!
The Emitter for the teleporter from the secret area aren't working somehow. I don't know why. We tested the map on the match-server and there it was working fine. On the main server the emitter isn't. The teleporter itselve is working fine.
I'm not currently at a PC setup ideal for the kind of hands-on testing necessary to confirm this, but just as a hunch, have you considered the possibility that EvenMatch's (rarely discussed) crash-preventive feature that replaces emitters for linux servers might have something to do with the issue?
The fix is a part of Wormbo's JB ToolBox (and ultimate mapping tool), it's called UTEmitterClientTriggerable, seems to work now on dedicated (don't work before), i haven't check it before because somehow i ignore this issue, btw the map not seem to crash at round end.
Strange.. I just take another look at that on the match-server (Beta2 and 3) and the emitter dosn't show up there this time.. I was nearly sure that it worked when I first tested it.
It's a normal emitter which is disabled and than is activated by a scripted trigger. Could it be that when u want to do that online you need to use the netwerkemitter?
***Ok Gloups you was faster with fixing than me with looking. ***
The picture:
Just because someone asked in game if someone had seen the whole mothership.. here you go:
