Version 4 is complete and ready for my first competitive playtest on Mapcore tonight! The main focuses for this version were:
Making the theme of areas more obvious (especially A and mid).
Making A site and the rafters area feel less tight and cramped.
Making mid aim duels more interesting.
Making the two connector/short areas more contested.
To try and improve the theming and scale I planned out what the major areas were by drawing over my minimap. This really helped me to decide what most of the core spaces were and make them a more believable shape and size. I've also applied placeholder textures to many of the building exteriors to help convey what they are.
The gap between the engine on A site and rafters wall has been increased, giving players more space to move. The A rafters/connector area has been completely reworked, inside the building the path is wider and the angles are longer. It also now comes out onto A site earlier. The entry area from mid has also been completely changed, swapping the ladder for a stair case CTs can hold from to give another piece of height variation.
An underground path between B long and B short has also been added, giving Ts a second route of attack for B short. I'm hoping this will make the area more contestable for Ts.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the updates have impacted the map and how it plays in a competitive setting! If you're a mapcore comp tester and would like to give it a go the playtest is at 9pm CEST.
After doing my first playtest last week I've spent some time trying to work on the feedback received.
The main things I have been working towards are:
Making mid more important.
Making the map a bit more open and less like connected corridors. (There is definitely still a way to go on this one).
Making aim duels more interesting.

Below is the updated radar.
Dockyard is a bomb defusal map for CS:GO. The map is set in a dockyard, with the two sites built around an under construction ship.

Below is the current radar and a screenshot of the B site.
This is my first map, but I'm excited to start getting feedback and continue improving it!
