I can't wait for players to get proficient with the Armoured Mortar Freerunner. On Rhen Var Ice Plains there's three of them, and with a spotter... just thinking about spawning in the Rebel main and watching those three beauties firing off volleys of shells, or even better, calling in a fire mission for then to watch the target get pummeled... it'll be so awesome.

I actually think it'd be a good idea for the PMG, too, to be able to track bolts. I know it's meant to be a grenade launcher more than a mortar, despite its name, but it's such a fantastic weapon for bombardment. Maybe give it a higher reload time and/or less ammunition or something to compensate?

The elevators are funs. When there will be elevators in Endor ( Yeah, to acces the AT AT, and in the outpost. Yes, I saw that there was an elevator access to the bottom to the top.

I love all the maps. Especially Ryloth, with the lambda, the huge shield and...

THE AWESOME AUTMATIC ARTILLERY !

the thing is, that an incremental patch from 1.1 to 1.2 would be about 800 MB aswell, since many textures and other things have been updated, so its not worth the time to make an incremental patch

I can't bother to download the full version , what about the patch from 1.1 to 1.2 you mentioned
awhile before , and my connection isn't too cooperative...

Intended for the mining trucks to be more like bunkers you could move into position. They were, however, designed when Ryloth was a lot more "single level", and aren't really able to handle hills nor protect people against fire from the levels above.

Perhaps everyone should bat their eyelids to try and get blitz to put some mining trucks up on the top of the plateaus where they can defend much better

Should stick an indestructible plow on the front of them. And have a repair device on them for repairing all your vehicles.

(Edit) Oh snap! Flew the Lambda straight up from the middle of the map for about 10 km, jumped out, managed to get myself over the main Imp base, and entered a TIE at the last second while falling at supersonic speeds. And I thought skydiving was limited to vanilla.

What mine truck?

Please post a screenshot of it and it's location on the map.

For a while in testing it was invincible and was intended to be used as a movable shield. It appears that idea was scrapped, as the vehicle is currently destructible. But yes, it works all right as a mine sweeper.

I was messin around with that mine truck thing while exploring the maps in a lan game. Does it do anything special besides provide very slow transportation? When I first took a good look at it after driving it I noticed how heavy it appeared and kinda wondered if it was supposed to be used as a mine sweeper lol!
