Interchange feels fundamentally worse than other maps. Why are all the good loot spawns on the same exact corner of the map? Why are 2/3rds of the stores completely empty?

I've never understood why both Techlight and Rasmussen are right on top of each other, and why they are both directly next to Oli, making for a very loot dense area of the map. I nearly forgot that ultra-medical is quite literally right across the hall from techlight too!

Meanwhile, Idea, other than its small tech room, is completely empty of loot spawns. Upstairs stores have been nearly empty every since I first played, making them worthless to look through.

There are tons of small closets and backrooms around the map that would be fantastic for loot spawns, but completely empty too.

The basement has weapon crates stewn around, but I cant help but feel like it could be further turned into a more interesting and delve-able area rather than its long empty sightlines that is has right now.

Both of its two major extracts have tons of cover that make them easily camp-able by people who have their extract set to the other side of the map (I think we've all died to someone in the back of RUAF's truck, or someone clipped near the train on railway).

Most of the other maps will have their primary loot points spread out a little bit in order to pull different players across the map, creating these different hot points you have to plan to fight over or move through over the course of a raid. Off the top of my head for Customs there is

Dorms

Skeleton

Crack and Stronghold

Big Red

Repair Shop

And all of those have distinct and varied spots on the map to traverse, beat other plays to, hold against them, or break into. Each spawn on customs has its own benefits if and detriments for getting to certain locations before or after other players.

Meanwhile each spawn on Interchange can be boiled down to "The good techlight spawns" and "The bad techlight spawns"

I just want to see BSG make an effort to diversify where I want to go, what loot I can expect to find, and where my fights end up being taken on Interchange rather than keeping it a tech-fueled meat grinder that its been since forever.

Move some stores around, cut the tech spawns by a bit, and actually put half decent loot around the map for me to try and fight over, PLEASE.
