All thoughts are greatly appreciated.

PSJ is kinda just too important. The map plays kinda boring because there's no real way around it. So its probably playable, but not particularly fun.

not much nitpicks because its a polished map.

My biggest problem with the map is that it feels too easy to get behind marines, and either go base or hit rts. Obviously there need to be ways for aliens to do this, but it feels like no matter how much you try as marines, you either have to split up every marine so he's alone (to cover all the ways to base/rts) or just accept that one side is going to be open.

Best example would be the vents which run from Computer Core up towards Keyhole - this would be like having a vent on Summit, running from Sub Access to Summit Reception. Just so easy to get round marines.

This is only really initial feedback, as I've only played the map a few times so far.

RTs Marines are too far from their start, they can't defend them & push in the same time.
And yes indeed, there are too many ventilations you can use to trap Marines behind them.
But that's the biggest problem on Eclipse, public or competitive, it's the same. I hope they will fixe soon, and not just bring closer natural RTs...

This map is a nightmare for aliens when they start in the far right Hive (Maintenance). It's like veil's pipeline before the 249 changes but much much worse as It's 10 times easier to cut off aliens from expanding, this is because marine start is closer to this hive than the other two hives are. Can you change the crossspawns so that It's not possible for aliens to spawn here? I feel this would ballance the map much better...

the map rewards aggression. automatically unplayable in pubs.

Nah, you can't play this map in pub. Easy aliens win everytime.
