I remember the ISD Judicator map that was good with the rail like vehicles that you used to traverse along part of it. That would be one map I'd love to see re-made for first strike!

You and me both pal! Judicator ruled!

I remember that teleporting was possible even using the comm rose as a way to initiate it. It's possible, but I wouldn't want to try to work it out w/ code without Woody.

well the teleporter thing is the obvious solution for the lifts.

Animated textures are possible. Its just a material.

Look at the Portable shield Generator bubble or bacta juice

Hmm, not sure actually about the static objects using animated textures...all I know is the HUDs use them.

As a workaround, you could throw a starfield texture on a cylindrical mesh, and just have that rotate beside a window slowly, to simulate movement.

Secondly, I believe the teleportation is possible using Python. Not 100 percent sure, though.

huh? Animated Textures (blink or gifs) are possible?. I thought it wont work because the Texture layers concept in the bundledmeshes dont support this.

Yes it is possible to code a teleporter in Python. A well known Dev and Supercoder developed that earlier..
But i dunno if it´s possible to place a teleoprter code on a moving Capital ship. So that you will be teleported into a hidden Capital Ship interior, maybe decorated with this animated windows you suggested. Once you enter the Hangar on this "Static-Interior" you should be teleported safety back into the Moving Capital Ship. Maybe locked in a Vehicle/Fighter to prevent lag and glitching coming from moving around on a moving ship.

In bf1942 it was possible.
the idea is to get the illusion of a moving Capital Ship....
Also it´s possible to create a teleporter , so when you trie to board a moving Capitalship you will be teleported in a hidden Location of the Map where the interior of the boarded Ship is located. When you trie to leave it again, you will be teleported back, maybe lost in Space or so
Maybe any of you remember this idea, I suggested it months ago in the German Forum.

The entire skybox wouldn't have to rotate. You'd just have to make the 'panels' of the skybox have their starfields be something like an animated .gif. If that's possible, it might be ok. Then again, if there are too many panels, you'd be able to see glitches where they meet.

wouldn't it be kinda small?

It'd be a great 16 player map. And perhaps even 32 players.

the rotating sky box thing sounds cool if you are fighting inside a ship or something and it give the impression that it is moving.

What about the interior of a nebulon, still got corridors but much more roomy.
