i think my favourite is Bast because it looks the coolest but because of siege cannons it is unplayable and is therefore taken out of the map cycle on the server i always play on which is a shame.
Ns_Caged has to be the best, the hives are reasonably far apart aswell as lots of great places to hide and place siege cannons, but yet theres hardly any bugs and that i allways get lots of kills on it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Eclipse cos its the only map I don't get stuck on sometimes when I blink, nothing more annoying. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
I'd have to say NS_Nancy. The layout is very interesting, with two hive on one side, one side on the right, and marine spawn in the middle. The battle usually evolves into a struggle over control of the two-hive side - which allows for some fairly interesting surprise attacks on and from the no-name hive. All the hives except the noname hive are also very easy to secure and protect, making hive rush tactics a definite possibility (I LOOOVE hive rushing). Plus, the long corridor leading to the marine spawn is both fun to defend as the marines, and incredibly rewarding to conquer as the aliens.
ns_nancy is great, ns_caged is very well balanced and was my first NS map ever, so i like it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
eclipse, caged and tanith. They're the easiest to get used to(IMO) so I played them most when ns was new. I could never get used to bast and I developed a grudge against it very quickly.

Heh, seems like Bast is a love it or hate it map. Personally, I fall into the "love it" category; I think it's my favorite. Eclipse is also good, and Caged seems very well-balanced. For some reason I haven't really played as much on the rest... (first three maps, what a surprise). I've had good times on all the maps at some time, I suppose.
My favorite is Eclipse, then Hera. Mainly because they aren't too big and therefore easy to navigate. Also I know the names of the different locations. So I know where to go when people are saying "they are building at horseshoe!". First time I heard it my reply was "what's a horseshoe?" - I thought it was an NS expression or something <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
On the bigger maps I get lost from time to time, but that's because I'm new to the game and retarded <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'm pretty sure you shoot the lights that are around.
I have a few favorites. If I want to Gorg, then ns_nothing, if I want to go marine, then anything but ns_nancy.
I've loved ns_bast and ns_hera since the first playtests I was let in on. They'll always be my favorite ns maps. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yuck, try holding that NS_Bast refinery hive as marines. With all those pipes to hide behind, it's every Lerk's dream and every marine's nightmare. And the feedwater hive is difficult to build in and defend...

There are lights in the marine start are mounted on tripods, when these are broken (lights not tripods) the lights go out.
It would be N_Eclipse but I enjoy commanding the most and the bugs in eclipse really ruin my day.
'oh I've got marines in eclipse well better build the TF befor the gate then upgrade to siege BEFOR THE GATE cos I just KNOW they're gonna try offencive gorgeing later in the game'

ns_eclipse because I just like it.
I don't like:
ns_nothing because jetpack is easy to abuse on the map.
But my favorite map is ns_tanith.
I´m pretty sure he was asking what your favourite maps were.
