Re: Escort map idea

Meh, I want to defend something unarmed, add to the difficulty.  The mission goal could be to get at least 1/2 of the convoy to the Transports, including the Freerunners, not including the T1-B.

We could have "Modified" Freerunners, stripped of main gun, maybe have 2 anti-infantry guns.

Instead of a planet, it could be an unnamed terraformed asteroid, saving us the trouble of searching for a planet.  Maybe as you move the convoy forward, you can capture some terraforming stations with repair areas.

Ah yeah i remember that. You had to escort a convoy of cargo speeders escorted by combat speeders, helping them destroy AT-STs, TIE Bombers, and turrets. That was a cool level.

Curses, foiled again!

Re: Escort map idea

Oh, that one. The one where your Commander yells at you if you veer away from the convoy and destroy all these other things, and then gives you a gold medal for it. That series made so much sense big_smile .

Something I've been pondering is what Escape From Hoth would be like if the Correlian Corvette was a mission critical craft that could hyperspace if brought to the bouy and counted towards the total 1/2 you had to evacuate. Would be very interesting, I think.

Re: Escort map idea

So you'd be losing one of your more valuable escort craft...

(Edit) Rescue Ridge for the name?  Oh yeah, Bombers cannot attack the transports at the ridge, they are guarded by several automated turbolasers and possibly, flak.  Yes, Star Wars does have flak.  The flak cannon emplacement could be a modified flak gun off of a Providence-class destroyer.  Take a titan gun terminal chair, place it on this gun (once it is made), and we can let loose.

(Edit) Heavily modified.  This thing would be kickass, how could you not want to use it?

(Edit) Okay, the flak idea might be asking for too much.

Re: Escort map idea

LOVE flak gun, and sounds like it would make a good addition to 1.3

Re: Escort map idea

interesting, it seems essential to me of located the map on an existing planet (http://www.theforce.net/swenc/planets.asp) that will allow to make a Base of Knowledge with all that will contain the map, the references, plans, visuals, objects... necessary to the map (it will be also easier to find a name)

Only one person I know of is bold enough and talented enough to do so: lagueriniere.

i'm not the only one lol
