+1 to this post, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to many players on to have these small maps. Some of these map (and I might be wrong) were made when we had maybe 100 players on during peak times, I know some have been here since I started. If they are going to have 300-400 players on maybe its time to dump small maps and make bigger "NEW" maps (I know....make one...sorry NOT my job) 
Have much less pilots online now than we had in years. Most of the day we are way below "300-400" players, in fact for a large part of it we are under 100 players. Not the perfect timing for getting rid of small maps
And with the possible exception of beta2, 300 players still works on most maps.
Don't get me wrong, I love large maps and the increased gameplay opportunities they can provide by design - in fact I was campaigning hard after the arena split to get them back into the game - but you need a minimum level of players all day to allow for gameplay on large maps.
