Re: Vehicles (Star Wing ftw!) and Prison map

Ooo, Beggar's Canyon map, be great for Skyhopper.  It could be a tutorial for FS, maybe in single player.  Start off at moisture farm, take landspeeder and end up at a Jawa sandcrawler  (The hint box or "commander" keeps telling you where to go).  When you walk up to each droid lined up the hint box appears and tells you what each droid does.  Then you use landspeeder to get to a damaged Skyhopper, repair it, fly thru canyon and pick off tuskans or probe droids.  And then some other ideas which I've yet to think of...

Apparently there was a rebel training base there...

And could a Tauntaun be a possible "vehicle"?  Love tauntauns.

Re: Vehicles (Star Wing ftw!) and Prison map

Tutorial is highly unlikely as a playable version. A video maybe.... ingame, don't think so.

Beggars canyon could always be fun. I think JayBiggs suggested I have a go at creating it but I am occupied atm with another map.

Taun Tauns as a vehicle, probably not, they weren't used during battle as far as I know. Doesn't make much sense to me to have them running around underneath ATATs.

The StarWing is awesome!  Love to see it as well as the DX-9 stormie transport.

And Suriander your training ground proposal sounds an awful lot like the training mission in the Rogue Squadron games. Well identical pretty much. What was also nice about that map was that depending on what time of day you were playing it would effect the map. So play it in the evening and it was Tatooine at night, play it during the day it was a daylight map, and early in the morning or early evening you got a dusk or dawn map, a very nice touch which made the map feel completely different.

Re: Vehicles (Star Wing ftw!) and Prison map

I'd love to see a Training map where you had all the vehicles available and could use all equipment instantly, but a tutorial? Doubt it. That's what the Wiki and manual are for.

Talon: That's not a tauntaun, that's a dinosaur. You'll have to do better than that.

Seriously, though, personally I would not want to see tauntauns in the Battle of Hoth. I know it can't be made exactly as it was in the movies, but I think both sides should have only the vehicles they had in the actual battle. Tauntaun riding is just silly in my eyes.

Re: Vehicles (Star Wing ftw!) and Prison map

That was the original design for the Tauntauns as drawn by Ralph McQuarrie mate.

As for Tauntauns in game it is unlikely, but if we could have them it wouldn't be silly at all, you'd use them for recon/scouting, you'd have a much lower profile than if you were using a vehicle, and also you'd get there a lot quicker than on foot.
