Safe-Keeper: Exactly. The big problem on interior maps is that, if there are only a few ways to get from points A to B, then 4-5 people can simply fall prone, set up a Eweb, and have a ball slaughtering incoming opponents. More corridors, and that problem evaporates.

Not to mention thin out the kits. Frag grenades = Grenade spam. Having only a 'Light Trooper' class and a Medic class would be fine with me, if perhaps a bit shallow.

Fully agreed, but then again, it takes a bit for me to think any given Conquest map shouldn't be a Push map .

I would suggest, however, that the map be at least a Push map. I still like the idea of running to the escape pods, because it would thin out the number of fighting Rebels and give the map a feeling of an overwhelming number of Imperials against a scant few Rebel troops. If we do go for something more tame, though, make sure that it's Push or the Imperials will be unlikely to get far.

And detpacking the door would be an awesome touch. Give it a custom death animation, and we can get a nice Battlerecorder recreation of the movie.

Conquest map featuring all of Corvette and the tunnel or whatever the Imperials use to get into it. Imperials blow through the blast door and enter Corvette, for then to fight their way through the ship to the bridge. Only difference from normal Conquest would be that Rebels had to hold the Imperials from reaching the escape pod chambers for so and so long, to simulate buying time for Leia to upload her plea for help to R2-D2 and stow him in an escape pod with C-3PO. Other than that, it'd be simple Conquest with control points ranging from the aft to the bridge. It'd be all-infantry, obviously, and very likely not a good 64 player map. It'd have to be 32 max, or even 16.

If only the Rebels don't have a spawn points right on top of the Imperials, and there were multiple ways to get too and from each control point, this could work really, really well.

I don't know about scaring off the devs - if they were easily scared by differing opinions, we wouldn't have a mod in the first case. Debating on what is interesting is a good way to show the devs what the general populace is interested in. Naturally, devs have the final word - but they're unlikely to produce a map unless there's evidence of interest in it. Having a decent debate about a map is a great way to show that we like the idea (or don't like the idea, should the suggestion be despised).

...not that I'm complaining. Hey, at the very least, you're obviously in support!

Mods! Take note! People are suggesting this left, right, and centre! Let's DO IT!

...and, having chilled down, my big complaint is that having a random number generator for escapes would be useless and annoying, from a gameplay perspective. There's no significant difference between needing, say, 50 pods to escape vs. needing 25 pods to escape and having 50% being blown up. Either way, you need to get 50 guys to the escape hatch - the difference is, you might get screwed by random numbers the second time. Let's not have randomization, please. My suggestion (see above thread) was that the lore would be changed slightly - the Rebels have dealt enough damage to the ISD that its bottom Turbolasers have had their tracking systems damaged, preventing them from targetting small objects - like escape pods.

My other, more controversial suggestion, was that the Rebels could spawn as either Pilots or Troopers. Only Pilots could use the escape pods, but obviously Troopers would be more combat-competent. (My original suggestion was pick-up kits, but that was shot down faster than an immobile TIE.) I still stand by this, because I believe that having symmetrical balance in an interior map is a big mistake, resulting in 'nade spamming, mine massing, and other lame tactics. Still, it might work, especially if the map was big and complex enough that flanking was still a possibility. If the interior was anything like the debacle that is vanilla 2142 Titan Mode, then symmetric kit layouts would be map-breaking-ly horrible.

Yes, there is such a word as map-breaking-ly. *looks around warily*

Strategy would have it that the imperials would try to block the rebels from reaching the life-pod deck, effectively sealing their fate aboard the vessel.
