SPACECTF: Opposing Platforms by Unknown (mail if you know who!)

One of the finest CTF maps I've seen in a long time - and don't know who the author is!! If you want to claim this one, mail me with the .bsp as proof. It's a true gothic spacey-bouncey map, perfect for an 8 player game. I played this yesterday and it was the most intense CTF game I've ever been involved in - I'm definitely keeping this one!
2 bases hang suspended in space, separated only by a small platform with 2 acceleration pads and Quad Damage item. There are several routes to take to the enemy base, but the best has to be to go low through your own base and be catapulted across to the centre platform, grab the Quad and then take one of the acceleration pads into the enemy base, landing right on top of the flag, on your own, quading out of your face, like a f*%king lunatic!! Then you have one hell of a kamikaze run home - excellent fun!!
The main clincher is the switch-activated forcefield that you can use to guard your flag. Ingenious. You can stop the enemy entering, or even better, TRAP the buggers in there and wait until your m8s come back so you can slaughter 'em together! Without this nifty feature, the flag would have bee very difficult to defend from the lunatic manoeuvre I descibed earlier with the acceleration pad. Weapon of choice for said slaughtering is the Railgun. Nobody likes to be railed, do they? It's like the ultimate insult, I think.
Final word is download this map - It's the best space CTF map EVER! Even if you don't like space maps and are unsure about CTF, you'll STILL get a kick out of this one. Great!!
