Abraxas Platform 2.0

Hey guys - I know this was (sort've) released earlier with a combination mappack I made, but looking at it, the mappack (which was a polish-up of my first three maps) was unnecessary, since the changes to Ralltiir and Sullust were relatively minor. In the effort to save space, I went ahead and just made the redone Abraxas as a standalone map, as in my opinion it was the only one worth making changes to. So here it is:

--------
This is just a touched-up rerelease of my first published map, Abraxas
Platform. It is essentially a visual upgrade, although new ships have
been added as well. Originally it was planned to ship in a mappack
with re-releases of my three first published maps, but I decided that
the changes to the latter two weren't enough to justify releasing them
alongside this. There weren't many changes to this, but I didn't want
to completely overhaul the map, because I still wanted it to be
representative of my original idea (whatever flaws that may entail).

Actually, I noticed a couple things. The Tie-Wing can't land in the easter egg's spot, the easter egg's cover itself stands out, and (not a big deal) the easter egg itself repeatedly hits the ceiling when you try to take off.

Welcome to how it's always been. Only the Z-95 can get to the easter egg.

It's supposed to be that way? Cuz I've been able to get to it with R41 starchaser and the TIE-Interceptor. Then again, that wasn't today...

This is even better than the first version! Great job! Also, it gave me a chuckle when I clicked on Respawn.

I played the first Abraxas map a while ago and I really enjoyed it. This one is even better, especially with the new vehicles. I especially liked the Assault gunboat, TIE Defender, and X-TIE. I also really liked the change in sky. Very good, very fun map Mav. 9/10 :clone:
