in all seriousness though... why has there never been a strictly dog fighting map?

You'd be surprised how quickly boring that would get.

As obi wan once said about the TIE Fighter: It's a short range fighter, if the devs aim for plausible battlefields or space battles, TIE's would infact need a capital ship.

Just a small point to add.

Personally i prefer dogfights WITH capital ships, it adds to the atmosphere. smile

Canadiens made one for GC, a Team Death Match map with TIE Fighters dogfighting X-Wings, but it was never included in the mod.

Not necessarily in-game. Canadiens' dogfight map simply featured an ISD in the skybox.

I've got nothing against capital ships, though. Bring it on.

I'd think a pure dogfighting map would get boring...So you have figured Capital ships in then?
