First of I never asked how big the ships are. I asked about the map size. The DEV offered for me to head over to the IRC channel and look at the size of the ship in the screen shots. It just so happens that I only was able to find one screen shot over their and it was not it. I am now going to try a different IRC program to check for them. I already know how big they are suppose to be.

Well I only saw one screen shot and that was of a bunch of troopers on the bridge at the Suez Canal. Thats all that was their. I must be doing something wrong.

Cool...I will try to get their. I love checking things like that out. Thanks.

I tried the link and it does not work for me. I get error code 404. To bad too. I would have liked to see it. It says I need a program to see that page. Do you have any idea were to get it?

Well I got it up and running but I have yet to find it. I am in the process of looking for it right now.

Well then make them stationary. One at each corner.
This brings up another question: How big are these maps going to be? I hope they are large. I am not a fan of small maps.

yeah you are right about the choke points and high pings, but when the titans are right by each other, as close as they go and the shields are down. it really does get pretty laggy. but yeah when it is congested it laggs too but the movement also affects it quite a bit.

Well if you look at how the Titans are now. They are like choke points that gathers a lot of people together. To me that is what causes the lag. A congestion of combat with a lot of different pings. I might be wrong on the reason but it seems right to me.
As for the movement. Titans do not move fast enough to cause problems to the players. So how would changing it from the way the look now to say a Star Destroyer or Corvette change that fact. The over all design would be different like hall ways and rooms; plus how you enter them. That would be the hardest thing to do. It would be adding a totally new object to the game and how you would make it work in a feasible way. That is why I could see it being some time before we see this game mode for this MOD. Got to take it one step at a time. I can wait.

yea, but you cant walk/jump/prone/crouch/dive/shoot/board like that now can you?

boarding ships does take away the freedom of its movements. and the speed they travel at would meen your pushed back on the back wall.

if the battlefield engine didn't suck so much balls the titan type mode wouldn't be too bad. ah well, at least this mod will be as good as the engine allows it, i know the FS dev team will figure out a way to push it to it's limits.
