Topic: I know it's big, but...

I know that doing this would take alot of time and effort or could even be realesed as a "Super Patch", but what about having a game mode similar, but not similar, to 2142's Titan mode, where everyone is flying around in X-wing's and Y-yings and what not around the Death Star?

Details: The rebel Faction have a base on a planet nearby to the death star and a base on a nearby moon, trying to destroy the death star. Yes it would be extreme lag, but it could be realesed as a Mod of FS, if anyone with a good computer system and internet connection wants to use it. The Empire troops are on the death star, using anti-air and what not to shoot down the rebel ships. The rebels can keep firing their missiles and bombs and what not at the death star till it explodes (very slow of couse,) or they can infiltrate the deathstar and destroy it from the inside. They get in and land, and destroy the death starss components (of which there would be lots!) untill they get access to the reacter core. (sounding alot like titan, makes you think where EA get their ideas from heh?)
Then they could attack the reacter core untill its destroyed (it will take a long time, but not as long as attacking form the outside.) The rebels are doing this all while the death stars main weapon is powering up,(taking a long time doing so) to first destroy the moon base, and then the planet making the rebels unable to "spawn" and lose the match.

Please comment on the idea. If FS staff decide to use it, they can modify it to make it balenced and better and what not. (lots of What Not's there).

How do you know it's big?  You haven't been talking to my wife have you?!?!?  **reads the rest of the topic after the title**.... ooooooooooh.  nm.  *whistles innocently*

Anyway.  Sounds like a great time for someone to write an entry about this in the FAQ

Re: I know it's big, but...

Lets see..

Extreme lag doesn't do it justice. You'd need either an incredibly low detailed Death Star (I've seen it done before, you could quite clearly see the vertexes).

Its also too big. I cant remember the exact measurement, but I believe you cant make a map more than few KM long. And this is in three dimensions.

And I doubt the death star would ever die by shooting it with fighters (maybe after a few centuries). Also, infiltrating to destroy it would likely take a few hours to reach the center, assuming you don't get lost.

Theres also the problem of how 32 people are supposed to defend a station that big.

For these reasons, a death start won't be in the mod, but expect to see Titan-like (but much better) maps involving Star Destroyers.

Re: I know it's big, but...

Unfortunatley the likelyhood of us havin a 3d Deathstar is very slim. We looked into it quite a while ago. Main reason is its just too darn big smile

With clever LOD's lag shouldnt be too big a problem , so you never know. Never say never wink
