Freelancer is definetly in its beta stage. Many qualities of a refined map are not visible at first site. Even I find it find it borring at times 
although the concept of this map is still in place.
This map is designed to give you as much free will as possible withought the linear feelings of a regular "Golden path'd" Rpg. Of course, with some structure, Freelancer is not a map which forces you to progress.
You begin as a basic, untrained freelancer. Begging in the middle of a somewhat large map, you are given just enough minerals to be trained by a guild of your choice. Which is bassicly all you begin with. To prevent many new players from wandering around attempting to kill monsters with their fists, I recently added a teleportation system which will move any ground heros to the guild of their choice. Not only that, but to prevent spending precious units (I have already named and used almost every unit including powerups, xtra powerups and every other hero) I placed an extra space in front of the move location which will display backgroun information of the guild and what they do [A new feature in .2]. To create even more guidance, I have implanted some corny quests for most of the guilds.
If you decided to skip to the bottom to read what l have to say about this map, l just need some ideas about quests in this game. All l need so far is one for a Summoner and a Constructing character. So far, l already have quests such as Search and Destroy, and basic Delivery. What are some other quest ideas you have?

Well a quest that I would make up would be.......(thinking) any player can obtain this, would be talk to the guild master and he will say something like "Brave heroes much of you I ask in this dark time, for my "Ring Of Oblivion" has been stolen from me." "This ring has the power to grant anyone who burdens it un natural strength, and extened life age." "A demon by the name of "Helatia" has tooken it." "Please bring it back to me and i will reward you with something special." Quest #(Name______) The special item that he could give you would be like ummm i dont know, Cloak Of Invisibility, or Ring Of Invincibility, or just alot of money. Thats just one of my Quest ideas, I have more if you want to know any more? Good luck on your map, sounds good.

You might want to change the name, because there's an actual RPG/FPS/RP game called Freelancer.

In my opinion the constructor is underpowered. Its units cost too much for their small HP and damage. You can buy a siege tank that has 400 hp and 20 dmg for 200 gas. You can buy a goliath for 90 gas with the same hp, more damage, and an anti-air attack. I Think you need to balance some things, here. The constructor's base gets destroyed too quickly by the occasional mass of hydras. Making the constructor a tad more powerful is something you should definitely consider. Oh and the buildings take too long to build, which I hate. I'm not asking for buildings that are done in under a few seconds... I'm just asking for the buildings to take at least 1/4 less time.

A quest for a constructor?
As in an scv, I assume?
Well..
You could make it, to where he has to retrieve an enchanted pic, or hammer that helps him build? OR Retrieve a tome of knowledge which will allow him to build more stuff?
Hmm,
I got nothin' for NOW...
But if you need a tester jus whisper me.
Or PM me, or w.e the hell it is you do to get testers..
lol
