what's the objective for players when playing the deathstar map? Fly around and shoot each other?

Watch the movie .

No more than ground maps alienate the space map lovers. Do I have the option of jumping into a Carrack Cruiser on Mos Entha?

There are way too few fighter-only maps out there, and it's great that this mod is making several of them. There will be combined arms maps soon enough.

what's the objective for players when playing the deathstar map? Fly around and shoot each other? Do you think it'll alienate the non-flying player fan base? I can already hear the gripes from that section of the community, the same ones who already dislike the space maps aren't going to find much action on that map. It looks incredible but I think I would have gone for more uncharted territory and create and infantry/space map. A smaller space station, asteroid or planetoid defended by 1 faction with troopers and space craft while the attackers must board and lend support to the boarders using their space craft.

Death Star is not the only upcoming map.  There will be combined arms map(s) where you will be able to aid your team both in the skies and on the ground.  In Death Star you actually don't have to fly either.  You have the option to man the turrets as well

The trench is as big as it was in the movies.

Yavin, I saw it on the test server so thats my guess. Also it would fit in nicely with the death star as the imps attacked the rebels on yavin just after the death star got blown up.

The Battle of Yavin is another name for the first death star battle.

I meant to say the imp assault on yavin base after the death star blew up.

I have got one question concerning the trench:
In ANH you see Vader's Tie and two normal Tie Fighters flying next to each other inside the trench. In the video the X-Wing did not seem to have much room to dodge the Tie's attacks. Are you going to open the trench up a little bit more in the final version or is the trench actually bigger than it appeals in the video.

And Yavin is the DS Trench run map.

And, technically, the Death Star battle is the Battle of Yavin.  That's where it happened.

Just like Hoth=Escape from Hoth, not the ground battle.

And, technically, the Death Star battle is the Battle of Yavin.  That's where it happened.

i think the next map will be naboo

which battle and why
