Re: Vergesso Asteroids

The YT-2000 looks especially hostile. I'd love to have that thing in First Strike.

lol yea

As for the transports I think we decided on the YT-2400 series transport , atleast where applicable. The YT1300 is just too iconic to see more than 1 flying about or respawning on a map. The Millenium Falcon will be a kind of "special ship" that would come into play at certain times,dependant on the map scenario. Atleast atm.

Isn't the 2400 a more combat design than other models? I think the YT-2000 would do better, as it's more of a cargo craft.

shouldnt a troop transport have some weaponry? either way the YT2400 only has 1 cannon (unmodified)

Re: Vergesso Asteroids

Good idea! I wanted a "Blockade of Kessel" space map with Kessel just as an imagine in a sky box but a good debris field or asteroid belt modeled so that there would be something to fly around.

Seems like the space maps will be easy, with some photoshop work to make skyboxes you can make them take place in all the famous locales. A nice dense nebula or cosmic storm skybox would allow the mapper to actually set a colored fog level in space rather than just plain clean space.

Re: Vergesso Asteroids

This really sounds cool, but one thing that I've been wondering...

How are the limits for space going to be defined? I remember GC having that odd grid looking thing, and the invisible space water... lol

Re: Vergesso Asteroids

The developers have stated somewhere that they're simply going to have the map take place 15 kilometers over ground level. What happens if a player decides to travel 15 km straight down, though, remains to be seen tongue .
