So far the map is at about 40 - 45% done. Seeing as how the majority of it is basically the mapping, I'm about half done with it. The map will have two main sections; the main facility, which will have hallways, rooms such as barracks, computer control rooms, chemical labs, etc. The mining tunnels will also be included in the interior. The other half of the map is the exterior, which will have other minor buildings such as an armory, landing bays, a mess hall, and an air control tower.
So far the exterior is about 95% done; the only thing left to do is the air control tower. The interior is about 10% done.
Here's a basic blueprint of the map. For the most part the map is going to follow this layout, but of course, I'm going to make many changes as I go along.
Here's some screenies of my progress so far:
Prison camp-style setting:
Collapsed mine entrance (mostly just for show - the real mines will be accessed through the facility):
The mess hall:
A couple barracks (just for show):
A shot of one of the landing bays:
Tank repair area thing (tanks aren't usable; they're just for show):
Barracks (inside the facility):
A shot of one of the hallways (still gotta make a door for the barracks):
The map takes place a few months after the Battle of Hoth. My plan for the map is to make it a sort of revolt. Rebel prisoners from Hoth and other battles have been forced to work in the spice mines by their Imperial captors for a while. Finally they decide to revolt against the Imperials. The Rebels will be skinned to look prisoner-ish, and they'll be using stolen Imperial weapons, metal pipes, fists, etc. Whatever they can get their hands on, basically. The Imperials will have a better arsenal, but the Rebels will have the advantage in numbers.
I'm probably going to make the weapon loadouts fairly accurate to what you might actually see, but I'm not going to go all-out and make it super-movie accuracy. But the units won't have dumb weapons like auto turrets and stuff. They'll have regular blaster rifles, grenades, etc. Standard issue stuff.
I may also make another mode which will have just regular shipped units for those people who prefer that. I may also include a CTF mode. A team dogfight mode is a possibility, but unlikely. We'll have to see.
I'll keep you guys up-to-date on my progress as I continue.
all i can say is that i hope you take strategy into serious account when you're designing your level. It looks great so far but if theres no tactics involved at all when planning it then its just not gonna be very fun to play. Of course i have no idea how your map is designed its just something to think about 
Wow! Just flat out Wow!
