Re: Maps in the first release?

You'd think that a pure infantry map would get boring too, but noooooo... everyone like that. So why not pure dogfighting? Its the same thing tongue

Besides, it depend on the map. Placing Tie fighters against A-wings (X-wings would pwn them so bad) in an empty region of space is a little uninspired. All you really need is a couple of static objects to make it insteresting. Imagine fighting in an asteroid field with constantly moving kilometer size chunks of rocks that vaporize anything that come close. Plus you dont even have to make it TDM if you want, conquest will still work in space heh.

Re: Maps in the first release?

Remember Vanguard in gee cee? Well that was practically dogfighting only. It had capital ships that did not affect the fighting too much. I loved that map!

I think that these types of simpler maps can always be made by the fans... The team should focus on what it wants.

Re: Maps in the first release?

Just a little thing before you gets your hopes up. We started a fair few maps, some have been scrapped for the time being and won't be in the 1st release. Others have been included but with far, far more detail. So don't assume anything smile

Ditto

I don't mind the idea of capital ships being present... just don't make them the level-ending objective... nothing is more of a bummer than when your round ends in like 8 minutes because there isn't a single person willing to sit there repairing the cap ship... or everyone has taken the fight elsewhere, leaving a couple unchallenged bombers to do away with things quickly.

It's not Camping anymore, it's "Strategic Defense".
