Would people be interested in working on a new DMI? I missed out on the original one, but it seemed like it was a lot of fun back then, and this one could be a nice final project before the release of the new Battlefront game. One thing I think would be particularly fun to implement would be an economic system.
Here's a VERY TENTATIVE plan I came up with, let me know what you think, or any other proposals you might have!

5. Shipbuilder – makes ships at a shipyard
6. Aerospace engineer – makes aircraft at aircraft assembly building

Money (points) is privately owned: each player earns money by working, and spends money buying goods at stores
Vehicles and furniture are team 0 objects: vehicles are enterable, furniture can be picked up and moved with force choke
Players can trade amongst themselves, and transfer money (only give money, not take)
Police can pick up and drag players into prison

I'd be on-board with this, given I can find the free-time necessary to work on things. The only problem is the lack decent multiplayer support.

OH BOY sounds similar to the unfinished castle defense map I released. I'm all for this! For MP, we'd all have to agree on one solution (be it GameMaster or GameRanger).

Re: New Dynamic Map Idea Proposal?
I'd love to do this. I'm rubbish at modeling, but I can make some units for the map. Or, we could do something similar to the Gametoast side, where everyone creates their own unit.
