Ok, this has been bugging me for a long time. On the Sky Ship 11 map, one of the edges on the side will let you run up along it to the centre of the ship where you can shoot JRs around the corner at reds advancing on the centre beacon. I can never figure out which side it is and for me, it's always been 50/50. Sometimes it's on the right and sometimes it's on the left.
Just now, I did several Customs on this map to see if I can spot any visual cues that differentiate the two ends of the ship but they're both identical. All I can say that if the side that allows this at my home spawn is on my right, then if I run to the other end of the ship, and turn and face my home spawn, then the side is on my left. So, this tells me that only one side of the ship and it's not because the sides keep changing, but likely because sometimes I start on one end of the ship and sometimes I start on the other.
The other thing I was thinking was maybe it was because in these Customs, I was starting at Beacon A and so that maybe if I'm at Beacon A, then the side is always on my right. But...don't we always start at Beacon A from our own point of view? Has anyone noticed this? Do the Beacons change depending on which side of the map you spawn at?

Youre looking at the wrong thing to tell, if when you start you only see clouds and one other airship to the right, go right.. if you start and see clouds and 2 airships on each side.. go left.
Not gonna act like I knew this just did a custom and figured it out.
Edit: Actually way easier each side is different, starting area has a wall behind you go right, has a crane go left.

You are absolutely right! Don't know why I've never noticed...probably because I was always in such a rush to cap that first beacon! One side is indoors and the other is open. See pictures. Go right: Go left:

AFAIK, either side will work. The bot has more to do with whether or not you can climb the ledge. Slower, clunky bots seem to have a hard, if not impossible climb. Speed seems to play a part, since I have made it with a heavy bot when my teammates don't block my path. Light, fast bots are easy peasy. Generally speaking, I'll ignore the home beacon and head for whichever side is closer.

No, I only use KS or Shadow to get on the ledge and can confirm that only one side works. From the pics above, I did go on both sides to confirm.

Go right: Go left: Well you can still be speedy just look at left or right in the sky, if the other airships are.. coming at you, go left.. going "away/same direction" go right. Can also confirm I can only get 1 side to work with KS, I'm sure lancer and tengu can probably jump on the other though.. I've seen someone with a lance get ontop in the middle somehow.
