Please, for the love of all that is holy (or unholy, depending on what side you spend your time on), use something other than the blasted cargo ship map for a change! I've heard that some people like it because it has a well-defined front, middle, and back, but I swear I have yet to encounter more than a handful of missions that utilize it in such a way. On the other hand, a third or more of *all* one mission arcs I've run seem to be situated on a dang boat (even ones that say "clean out this cave" or "defeat the enemies in the office building" in the contact's intro text 
)
So, please, make use of some of the other maps available for you from time to time so those of us who just like picking random short arcs and running them get an occasional change of scenery.

Heh, well check mine out then.Mine has been the way it is now since test. It is only one mision cause I didnt have the time to spend on longer arcs. Busy busy life.
Search @Thornster pick the "Very Short" arc and your wish will become reality!

You know, I've seen similar complaints around the boards, but my experience so far has been quite different. I don't think even 10% of the arcs I've run use that map.
None of mine do! *hint hint* (but only the Divas arc is short).
I've only seen 2 ship maps in all of the MA arcs I have run.
I suspect it is just farming missions that love them
I prefer the Bank map for a controlled environment. Not too large, not too much extra aggro waiting in the wings.
Check my sig for a fun short arc that's NOT on a boat! 
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!
