have a map rotation

One thing I've thought would be nice to have on other servers is maps designed for lower populations and catered towards certain jobs. For instance a larger research or mining area.

I fully agree with this thought.

It's important to note the sheer size of Cogmap2 and how unbelievably gargantuan it would be for the 10ish players on the lowpop servers. Making an alternate station with more emphasis on the departments people usually use on those servers (research, genetics, mining, etc.) would go a long way in making things a bit more hospitable. Some rewiring with the station power (or, hell, even just hotwiring the solars on those maps) would help with those scenarios where no one ever thinks to set up the damned solars so you hop into a round that's gone a long ways in and you have to start fighting an uphill battle keeping the computers powered, especially because those servers don't tend to see much use from folks with any kind of engineering savvy, in my experience.

Destiny works well for lowpop.
