Jay is right, we felt that it was better to get everyone a playable map that was bugfree, without further delaying a release to the public. Expect to see it much better next time around, kinda like the ISD hanger on EFH

Its a nicely modeled cave, but the floor could use some different texturing to differentiate it- like metal decking? or even a different shade like you have done on the roads. As is its hard to make out where the walls are, the floor ends and so on. Maybe its just that screenshot, but it looks a bit like dark forces 2.
The vehicles are superb, walkways look pretty good too. Look fwd to playing on this map

yeah, its not properly lightmapped, wasnt enough time I guess. Shadows will make it look loads better

Ok cool, so would it be possible to see a picture of the model? Because i liked this tank in "Force Commander" so much and it would be nice to see a detailed 3d-model of it

We have a t3b modeled but we haven't textured it to this point, and setting up a tank with the treads is a little more difficult than a tank that just hovers. You will definitely see it in here at some point though.

Hey, how far is the work on the rebel T-3B? He would well fit in Rhen Var Ice Plains and it would be nice to drive this heavy tank. Maybe in a later release?

It's just the screenshot, Angel. It looks far better in-game.

That would be a small portion of the rebel base.

The interior is nice, but, where is it ? In a building ?

When you are running down Stormtroopers with your airspeeder you will forgive us.

I don't know why I bother sometimes.

lol OMG, I'm so sorry. I forgot to mention that one. I was in a bit of a rush when I posted my replies. That pic brings one word immediately to mind... "badass". 'Nuff said.
