With the Icarus as the center piece.
It is a giant subterranean hanger (with ceiling lights) that harbours a fleet of ships and planes found in Flight of Icarus (or as many say guns of icarus original). Creating a maze/grid-like like map with many nooks and crannies and gaps made by missing ships.
I say the size would be about as big as either duels or canyons (if the game can handle all the assets).
Because it is indoors, there is only hard cover and no clouds.
All the ships are held in place by giant girders and beams with docking bays that attaches the ships into walkways. Some of them have collapsed to make way for ships to move.
Ideal for mobile ships like squids but still has a few open spaces that can be used by galleons.
Spots are made and easily shaken.

each little docking bay i imagine looks like this. With ships suspended and latched into place by claws that hold them there. But from below instead of above like a ship in a bottle.

and pretty much arranged row by row like so.

That would be really cool, a strain on lighter PC's to be sure, but really really cool

Perhaps a special map pack for advanced players (who might be more likely to have fancier computers)?

I'm going to look for you and I'm going to crush you for even suggesting map packs.

I swear to god you better be thinking they're free or I will whip your little pink puffball body into cotton candy.
JK.
But...

Yeah, the player base is small as it is. Map-pack is going to stratify the players and end up making things worse for everybody.

OK, OK, NEVER MIND
it was just an idea

The Icarus is a more realistic Airship, implying Hydrogen. A bunch of ceiling lights hanging out in a crowded room full of Hydrogen is not a good idea.
Not to mention the fact the Icarus crashed, and all the other ships in Guns of Icarus were pirates, who'd never work together to make a giant hanger which requires tons of hardwork to navigate, which also would take hours.
And clamsp + balloons = ripping. Airships aren't super precise, they'd have to move in very, very slowly, and from one exact location.
A giant crowded hanger doesn't seem so good now does it?

Wasn't it mentioned that all airships in GoI are based off of the theoretical vacuum airship technology?

I believe this solves that.

No, it obviously wasn't pirates, but the people Gabriel saved and helped.

Can't argue here.

The map is called gabiel's legacy, not gabrial secret hanger.

Maybe so but you DID say "A huge underground Hangar with planes and ships from the first game"

Could be like a historical museum deal, with older technology and aircraft on display

Did that specifically imply it was the canon Icarus?
With the fame of the Icarus, wouldn't you think people would have copied the ship design?

Gabriel's Legacy
The legacy could be the ship design.

No, silly, it's the people he saved who collected all the stuff.

Dude, Gabriel flew into a horde of pirates far to the south and died. NOBODY who he would have saved could have retrieved the Icarus. Gabriel was also a trader, who had the guns to defend himself. He didn't go around looking for people to save/
-
Well, my thought is that the Juggernauts had to be built somewhere, and that somewhere would have to be very large and very secret. Perhaps this would be the Juggernaut factory/hanger, and there could be a half-finished Juggernaut in there somewhere just to tease us with what it may have looked like completely.

And we know this how? Maybe they built airships themselves. And yes, I know, and with his murderous, anti-pirate swathe through the sky, he opened up opressed towns for other trade.
Either them, or the factions mounted an expedition to retrieve the Icarus, and brought back the pirates they shot down too.

Seeing how half of them could barely feed themselves, I doubt that.
Anyways, bottom line is, nobody would have cared to retrieve the Icarus.

It's beyond the southern edge of the map. Lore-wise, its lost. It took years for other factions and cities to figure out airship technologies.

Icarus was a legendary ship that made everyone copy his actions and fly into the sky as well.
He had the ship with a working Tesla gun.
The design of the Icarus made it possible fight off hordes of pirates BY ITSELF.
The game is constantly yammering on that all the factions are fighting to grab new technology, resources and weapons.... and you think no-one cares to hunt down the legendary ship that is to this day several decades ahead of current technology?
Ye..... just... just surrender to the awesomeness that is this map.
As I see it, Gabriel's legacy is a hanger is that basically the goddamn one piece. People fly all around the world looking for it. And when they do find it, they never make it back alive. Hence this hanger has been left preserved like it has been.
The mysterious guardian never shows itself until its too late. When two factions meet inside it just observes and then comes in and destroys any survivors.
Someday, people will find it en masse and decide to not fight each other for its treasure. But until then, they fight each other for it and weaken each other, falling prey to whoever comes for them on the aftermath.
So I say... the hanger has all these ships hanging...but te ground is full of broken ship parts to such a point that you dont actually see the floor. It's just piles of metal and wood.

The Icarus was probably stripped clean the second it crashed. Remember, Pirates.

Or Gabriel survived the crash then proceeded to Liam Neeson his way across the desert killing the what few remnants of the pirate horde that came to investigate the crash with a heavy wrench and a detached turret. Later forming a shadow guild of treasure hunters who have been subtlety controlling the direction of airship development while keeping the best stuff for themselves. Stalking the skies with the rebuilt and improved icarus hunting anyone doing a little to well without the concent of his organization.
Dreams aside what is the actual lore of the final flight of the icarus? All I remember is officially gabe went south and the icarus was attacked by pirates and he was never heard from again. I don't think there's anymore beyond that
-
I thought it was that he grew tired of humanity, so he flew south into the horde of pirates to kill as many as he could.

I would play fight of the Icarus IF THEY EVER CREATED CONTROLLER SUPPORT.
