I know this ia full conversion mod BUT honestly 98% of the statics and buildings already exist in 2142. How many 2142 maps have the fuel silos with catwalks, enclosed trench lines, module style facilities, and reactor or power facilities? They're there already. Take the barracade walls from Camp Gibralter, fuel silos and enclosed trenches from Suez, the power plant from Sidi Power plant, and that Big Mushroom structure from Shubia. Retexture parts of the larger objects.

Then add the signature FS statics; crates, barracades, defensive positions, and debris.

Of course the all the fun vehicles from FS.

Build your terrain with the majority of the playing field being in a massive crater but some sections of the complex being on the rim or outside the crater.

Texture the terrain as a lifeless void.

And you have a 2142 map with FS assets thrown on top...

well, thumbs up to this idea!

The whole facility is within an atmospheric shield bubble that's why aerial bombardment is useless AND why soldiers don't need pressure suits.

Ok, I will therefore deploy Mega-Maid after stealing the password to the atmospheric shield. She will deplete all the oxygen leaving all the defenders DEAD!

Mwahahahahahaha! I am such a Spaceball!

Have the attackers spawn from a capitol ship with shuttles and fighters as escort.

Have the defenders have an array of ground vehicles, anti-air and a few fighters.

As the attackers gain ground they get ground vehicles to spawn that their newly captured positions.

Its a good idea, but has it not come up more than once before?

I fail to recall...

But anyways, yeah, my second point about landing somewhere specific would work too. Probably is better now that I think about it. But it would have to be like at least 3 hangers to give the defenders a challenge.

Is it possible to make a map part space and part land?

Good idea, always imagined an asteroid base assualt type map one day... Immense amount of work would have to be done however... Immense.

I don't think space type infantry would be required though, having them land into designated hangers would be best imo... Instead of transports unloading troopers on the face of the asteroid, sounds kinda silly to me. And jetpacks, in space... please no.

As for rebels, pilots are the only sealed troops I can think of...Unless the attackers were forced to land under some shield or something, then those would be our options.

E: As predicted, my information about devs doings were so badly crushed that I probably go die in shame.

Want a space map so you can dog fight?

Want an infantry map where you run around a compound?

Well forget assaulting the Deathstar and forget boarding a Star Destroyer.

How about something like this:

Treat it as a regular land based map, meaning the asteroid goes out beyond what the player can see. Maybe even make the rim of the crater be the "no fly zone". Make the skybox space. Set your light levels to be dulled blue tones or whatever color would be emitted from a near by star. Have the attackers start from a capitol ship, have the defenders on the base and well I shouldn't have to spell out the rest. Battles in sky above the asteroid, on the ground surrounding the base and in the corridors and catwalks of the base.
