In some cases you may not know untill its too late .............   

pew pew pew  BOOM!

Wow, that will be great. I'm still curious however as to how we'll know how to stay in bounds.

That does intrigue me too, maybe we'll do an automatic u-turn like in Starfox 64

Or I misunderstood lol.

99.9% rest assured that there will be a 'ground' boundary that you cannot fly any more towards once you hit it or are shooed away by coding.  This is not necessarily a bad thing because it will keep the combatants on one plane, anyway.  You'll be able to use strategy to come in and attack from below or above angles, but not from a full 360 degrees as in X-Wing.

As a side note, BF1942 maps could be hacked and edited to increase the width and length of 'space' to just about any distance - so if that is still possible on the BF2142 engine than you could definetly have great expanses of space with flags or bases being the choke points.

Think of player fleets having a limited 'hyperdrive' that needed to recharge between jumps across the map

Also if we do anything right , itl be that we dont copy Battlefront 2

So true... Battlefront sux. LA needs skilled people like this dev team to make their next games

We will be doing everything possible to have a non claustrophobic battle.

Are there boundries in the space maps like there are on land maps in bf2? Back in the day I use to play the old X-Wing flight sim series and the space maps are just endless. I would LOVE to see some type of map like this to where your free to roam and do what you want. The only problem that I might see with this being implemented into a multiplayer perspective is the random players flying way out in no where for no aparent reason. Can someone please give me some insight on what the actual space map denminsions are gonna be. One thing that bugs me so bad in bf2 is the boundries while flying, just seems so closed in and clostropobic(sp?).

I hope it's not going to be like BattleFront. That felt way to arcadish to me. I want more of a flight sim feel.

Anywho, I've been checking the site and the forums for the past say 2 months and I'm just loving the work the devs are doing! This is looking to be a AWSOME mod!! Keep up the great work!

Also, is it just me or is anyone else itching for a new X-Wing series flight sim game? I just really hope the space battles in FS is gonna give me that fix until LA gets off their asses and makes another flight sim, if they ever!
