Given a hereditarily meager ideal I on a countable set X we use Martin's axiom for countable posets to produce a zero-dimensional maximal topology τ I on X such that τ I ∩ I = {∅} and, moreover, if I is p + then τ I is selectively separable (SS) and if I is q + , so is τ I . In particular, we obtain regular maximal spaces satisfying all boolean combinations of the properties SS and q + .
