While Multi-Maps is an interesting feature, with the current state of the game only a small minority of players will reach the time that you get even to the first of them. Nomadic start on the other hand will be played by all (that want to activate the option).I like all of this discussion about the nomad start, and think it really could go somewhere, but we need to have a focus and a priority after the Freeze, and I think that should be Multi-Maps. We've been hyping them for almost a year, I think it's high time to add them. Nomads could then be added during the V29 cycle, in addition to content for the Galactic Era. How does that sound?
Besides, there is a significant difference in the implementation effort. While nomadic start will take maybe one cycle to implement properly, Multi-Maps will need several.
