Fixing names for items isn't a bad idea, but personally I think "50AP" or "25HP" is nice and short and best of all you don't need to remember how much each is worth. I call the quads "Powerup Punish" and Powerup Protect" 
Mappers have been trying for centuries (well ok, not quite that long) to make a map where spawnfragging isn't how to win. Winning should be about gameplay. You want newbs to learn how to fight, not how to run around to all the spawnpoints with the Nex waiting for their enemy to respawn. If we teach them to do this, then they'll rely on it for winning, which will be about knowing the map, not about how good you actually are. I'm not too sure on this one, this is just the result I foresee. Maybe it's what you want, IDK.
Voidpushing is a tactic and strategy just like any other. It also makes the RL, GL and other push weapons a little more powerful (on space maps), making the Rifle and Nex no longer the dominators. Also when dueling, does it matter if you lose a point or if your enemy gets one? Still 1 point difference.
If I was betting only one or two maps space maps will make it into 1.0, Relent (Soylent remake) and maybe Abandon.
Peace
