The map would also benefit grealty from a mostly visual standpoint if we (I ) Retextured the imperial outpost exterior, and the landing pad was remodeled and retextured. Unfortuntately there's a lot on all of our plates atm, but perhaps after the release of Hoth we'll be freed up enough to tackle that stuff.

Also with the imp outpost retextured, I can easily add some map-specific grime and such for the other maps its featured on.

For endor, i say do it like the death star map. Set up a few "sentry" outpost caps, then assult the shield , use explosive packs to blow up the machine's and that will end the map. That way, its still a push map. Of course, have at-st and speeder bike spawns.

I think endor should lose the speeder wreck cp and make the landing platform one instead.

I am not saying it is a bad map...I have had plenty of fun on it. It is just that Endor is one of those maps that needs to be one of the best in the mod and accurate. Right now it is pretty fun to play...I am not a fan of the ewoks although I originally supported the idea. That doesn't make it a bad map but the map does not reflect at all what the mission was about. The map right now is endor the way Hoth would have been without AT-ATs it just isn't the same. I think it was great to get the mod started but it could be so much better.

Indeed, we did have earlier versions with the full bunker interior in there but the geometry was flawed and wasn't fit for release. When we get time it will need to be redone in my opinion to add this feature back in, and there were a few other game mechanics unique to the map which I'd like to see back in there too.

The design of Endor has always been a bone of contention internally as well as publically, the current design is an effective enough map, but it is in my opinion unfinished and needs more work to fully release the maps potential.

(nice new sig there by the way JW )

I have no complaints whatsoever , as the gameplay is even better than before.

Like they say in uganda ... " No flies on that ! "

I thought the bunker was in progress and a complete Endor map was going to be made later...Complete with bunker.

Read the story while the level is loading. Besides, we have to have some excuse to have 30 people there.

Well, I currently can't play the map for any extended period of time before my computer locks up. Same with Rhen Var Ice Plains. So I'd be especially happy with a re-make.

The whole map should be redone...

Why would Ewok Village make less AT-ST's spawn? The rebels have to take the place anyhow as it's on their freaking map path, don't they?

Tree Village gives the Rebels an advantage by letting them spawn closer to the action. Simple as that.

I should think it is very clear by reading the entire post. Less AT-STs would spawn after the rebels capped ewok village. This map is a push map...if we are going for lore accuracy I don't think that is at all accurate it was a covert mission to take out the shield generator. The rebels did not take over the whole moon before the death star was attacked....correct me if I am wrong.
