Some mapping related questions

Hi,

Here's a couple of questions I have been pondering for too long a time:
<ol type='1'><li>Is it still neccessary to enclose world geometry with "Occlusion Geometry"?</li><li>What is the best place for Readyroom?</li><li>Some parts of my map are still drawn while in readyroom even though the player shouldn't be able to see them. Should I wrap the rr with occlusion geometry or is there any other way to fix this?</li><li>Is symmetrical map layout still encouraged and should I take alien/marine speed difference into accound when deciding distances between eg. starting location and closest expansion?</li><li>How's everyone doing?</li></ol>
Thanks!

    Yes.

    As long as you put it outside the minimap extends you should be fine.

    Yes.

    No idea.

    You need only to have everyone test your map layout before you start mapping, and everything will be dandy.
