Topic: A bit of both

Want a good land based map with and assortment of vehicles?

Want a space map so you can dog fight?

Want an infantry map where you run around a compound?

Well forget assaulting the Deathstar and forget boarding a Star Destroyer.

How about something like this:

Treat it as a regular land based map, meaning the asteroid goes out beyond what the player can see. Maybe even make the rim of the crater be the "no fly zone". Make the skybox space. Set your light levels to be dulled blue tones or whatever color would be emitted from a near by star. Have the attackers start from a capitol ship, have the defenders on the base and well I shouldn't have to spell out the rest. Battles in sky above the asteroid, on the ground surrounding the base and in the corridors and catwalks of the base.

They are first making movie and EU battles, after that they are moving to other ones. At least it was like that few months ago, not sure about now. I cant remember any asteroid battles in movies or EU, but that would sound cool, except we would need more players than there is now if it would be big map. Ignore me, I don't really know what devs are up to.

E: As predicted, my information about devs doings were so badly crushed that I probably go die in shame.

Looks like it could be Folor Base, not a bad idea.

That sounds briliant...The attackers have to be transported down while their escorts pick off opposing fighters, and apon landing, cover behind there transport while peeking out to take shots at the enemy laying down suppressing fire...Sounds EPIC. If I had any experience in modding, I'd defiantly try to make it.

Did some research...Imps could be pilots and these: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Zero-G_a … ormtrooper

As for rebels, pilots are the only sealed troops I can think of...Unless the attackers were forced to land under some shield or something, then those would be our options.

Aren't those shots from the end of Ep III?

Good idea, always imagined an asteroid base assualt type map one day... Immense amount of work would have to be done however... Immense.

I don't think space type infantry would be required though, having them land into designated hangers would be best imo... Instead of transports unloading troopers on the face of the asteroid, sounds kinda silly to me. And jetpacks, in space... please no.

Its a good idea, but has it not come up more than once before?
