what was the irongator?
Iron Gator is a map for BF2:Special Forces and it is basically a lag fest because the entire map is on a uber-detailed USMC carrier...yuck

Man that was an awesome map! its the best map for SF, I dont play SF anymore because none of my ISP's host that map.

As for detailed ships, most of it should be able to be done with bump maps right?

Yeah, I guess that makes sense...but over 100, wow that would be insane.

The ISD has a HUGE hangar, true to the movies ( I mean come on, you can fit a Correllian Corvette in there ) and I believe the max map size in BF2 is 2048 x 2048.

I also hope the SD has a big hangar. And I know there must be a way to edit BF2 where you can have map sizes past 1024x1024

Yeah that would be neat. Whatever works.

I think the best we can do is have the SSD in the skydome as a picture or a pretty basic model slowly moving in the distance ... something to that effect anyway.
