So if its not Rhen Var harbour does that mean there will eventually be three Rhen Varr maps? or did you just change the name?

I don't see what you mean. The community is very happy with the way the leadership is handling this mod. We have registered no discontent. [Goes back to helping place sandbags, razor wire and machine gun emplacements in front of the Palace of Developers ]

*Requests position to man the machine gun.

*thinks....

*Requests the Dev team MAKE a map with palace of developers, with accompanying sandbags razorwire and machineguns.

1.2 should work perfectly with v1.5, the only thing necessary will be a server side update when the final version of the patch is released. That's the benefit of a full conversion

Sweet! You guys are all over it like white on rice. Unless you like brown rice. In which case it would be, "like brown on rice". lol

I didn't mean that as a complaint, or worse, an insult. *gulp* You guys are doing an absolutely incredible job. What I meant is that fans are so ravenous to get their hands on this oh-so-sought-after update (Battle of Yavin!), by giving us frequent previews of it (screenies, music clips, movies, info, etc.), it keeps us happy and, more importantly, keeps us from rioting from anticipation. With the stellar job you guys have been doing with this mod, can you blame 'em? I meant it more "tongue in cheek". BATTLE OF YAVIN!!

I absolutely agree. As much as it would pain me to have to wait for v1.2, I would much rather wait and get a more polished version than get a buggy version sooner.

It is probably worth pointing out that "snowspeeders" are airspeeders they aren't restricted to snow maps, nor do they have to be on snow maps. It just happened that the were the easiest craft to convert to survive on hoth, in the short time the base existed before the imperial attack.

If there are no maps with the snowspeeder someone dies. In real life at least; if there ARE snowspeeders then people will die in-game.
