Yeah but if u use EU, stay close to the worlds we have seen, cause in Galactic Conquest there were some very weird planets, most of them made by community members and not by the team

We are already thinking about Corellia. Alderaan and Byss is a good idea.

Why not Polis Messa, Byss, Alderaan, Corellia,... ?
The possibilities are endless!!!

If we do EU planets I think they should be some of the more novelty and less known types that are different. Like whose heared of Hypori? The databank has loads of weird and wonderful ones. Quite a few from the Empire in its early days. So once we finished movie stuff we should look into it.

Yea don't worry we will eventually do EU stuff once the movie stuff is done. But we won't make up a planet or anything by ourselves. We will use established EU stuff like Mon Calamari, etc.

Well at the moment we're concentrating on specific classes such as the stormtooper and we have not yet decided on any kind of hero or jedi character. So as for EU Characters we may not follow that path, although never say never, it may be announced in an update, but for now we are focusing solely on getting the basics done.

Sounds good! What about EU Characters?

I'm still depressed over the state of that at the moment. Half the problem with the ref is that the zoom sights on one side covers up the blocky appearence which i may make more curved later but i have absolutely no reference for the other side so it is basically flat, so i desperately sketching on paper ideas on what to do with the other side. But now worries and developing into something mroe beautiful slowly but surely.

Exactly, and good point about the Verpine Shatter Gun

We are also including many EU weopons and items such as many of the grenades and pistols, quite a few not seen in the films but in various other places. For instance the Verpine Shatter Gun the Bothan Spy carries comes from an EU book and SW:Galaxies. So we don't intend to completely limit ourselves to already known things otherwise this would just be a replica of battlefront or GC.

THANK YOU
I started to worry there

Guys, don't worry, we are not limiting the maps to only those seen in the movie, starwarsfan made a mistake in his post. For now, the timeframe (italics on timeframe) will be between Episode 4 to 6, and may eventually expand to the prequel trilogy. However, this does not mean that we cannot include planets never seen before in the movies. In fact, one of our goals when creating maps is to have a mix of maps from the movies and from the EU. So may your fears be assuaged

Totally true.
Expanded Universe planets and locations are also "canon" not?

It would be a shame to put restrictions on what Star Wars stuff the team uses; I'd say if it's cool and fits in then include it. 'Canon' planets are all well and good but after a while people will want something new. Mon Calamari, for example would be a very interesting map...

Despite all its faults even SWBF had EU material (Rhen Var).

Looks nice, but that means that we can only play on planets seen in the movies!
Those are not very much planets then...
