Re: Will any large ship be pilotable besides x wings and ties

It doesn't matter how big the model is, it's the triangle count and the resolution of the textures. I can make the ISD X4 times smaller but have the same triangle count.

Re: Will any large ship be pilotable besides x wings and ties

In my own humble opinion, I would gladly give up model detail in favor of more playable map space.  The question for ME is wether the scale can be tailored for individual maps, or must the models be the same scale for the entire MOD?  If the scale can be specified per map, than it would be possible to create lower detail capital ships for use in space battles.  The only detail would be on the player characters and the smaller starfighters.  the rest of the map would be empty space or low detail asteroids.   Please forgive me if I am jumping to conclusions (I have little to no MOD creation experience).

why must EA rush their games?
In BF2 they don't support vehicle animations and they didn't even make more game modes or more variety in their maps.

Re: Will any large ship be pilotable besides x wings and ties

the bf2 engine used to support it
they took it out so that they could make another mod out of it (aka the bf2142)
