sure, let's give it a try.

-1.  if you could set a *kill* limit on a flag i'd like to see that 
implemented, otherwise only the laser and perhaps the guided missile 
should have shot limits.

i like the current "random" maps, and would not want to see a change.  
obviously you could add maps on other ports but let's leave the current 
map as is.

i'm still gonna lobby for removal of the laser flag.  it's reached a 
point where if i'm killed and someone has the L, i don't even rejoin 
until the flag is dropped.  and several other players do the same 
thing.  any flag that is sufficiently powerful (even with a shot limit) 
to discourage people from playing is a detriment to the game.
