It wouldn't be a totally new thing to code.
just copy titan mode
capital ships dont have to move or anything
just copy coding on titan terminals and core so we can go in a blow it up
as for gravity , you dont have to get rid of it, you can add a thruster that always points down counteracting the pull of the gravity
interiors don't have to be large
star destroyer already has a hanger
What do you want for Christmas?(hint hint craziest First Strike fantasy!)

Sadly it isn't that simple (afaik , I'm not a coder ), some parts of titan mode are hard coded and there were some problems with multiple titans or something, but rest assured we're working on it

Echo... echo... echo... base....

Nope, not until Hoth comes out, there's no Echo on this site

But, honestly, there have been several posts about boarding recently. We've really got to get a sticky up, reading something along the lines of:

"Titan mode boarding will NOT be implemented."

Actual maps that feature boarding of static ships are possible... but Titan mode has been discussed and discarded enough.

Is there an echo on this site?

There will be a Christmas release. It's going to feature the new completely empty map 'FS Coal'.

Seriously, though, boarding seems to be the #1 thing beginners ask for, and various ways of implementing boarding has been discussed countless times. Personally, I'm all for boarding maps, as long as they're implemented with some sort of good rationale to what you're doing and why. Titan mode seems so weird that it's not even funny, but I think I've ranted about it enough on this forum.

The cantina where he would be could have other thug-ly beings like greedo or boba-fett standing around to blast you if Jabba (randomly) decides to hose you under .
Besides , even Jabba could harness some segment of "the force" , I mean being so influential and all like he is. I dont think this would be difficult at all ... lots of 'bang for the buck' .
So everyone who knows where he is , would be tempted , if desperate , to enter his lair and seek assistance - running the risk of randomly getting blasted . You might run in and take your chances , and if lucky , and the dice fall in your favor , you can stay inside and hide out for a few minutes ... then as your pursuers ( enemy troops ) enter looking for you , they might have bad luck with random Jabba , and they get blasted instead ... that would be funny as heck .

Lol, thats kinda weird... How would he attack? He is a big fat slug!
Or maybe he can call in one of his hit man to do the dirty work.

you make it sound easy . lol .
I think theres more to it than meets the eye .

i will make it easy ...
how about a map with Jabba the hutt as a static figure , and when you get close to him , he either randomly heals/re-arms you , or randomly kills you ... that would make for a wild variable .

I want to board enemy ships and blow up interior systems

It wouldn't be a totally new thing to code.
just copy titan mode
capital ships dont have to move or anything
just copy coding on titan terminals and core so we can go in a blow it up

as for gravity , you dont have to get rid of it, you can add a thruster that always points down counteracting the pull of the gravity

interiors don't have to be large
