Topic: The Derelict

This will be an abbreviated form of the thing I wrote before the "down-time".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map Name: Grave Robber
Planet: None
Ground/Space: Space
Weather/Lighting: Average Lighting. Maybe asteroids going to and fro
Layout Diagram:

RED: Damaged area
Orange: Debris field

Map description:(Include story line)

The Imperial Star Destroyer Sulla was on an average expedition to monitor and secure Imperial assets when it entered this asteroid field. Entering for only a short time, the Sulla was suddenly struck by a giant asteroid 1/3 its size, ripping a hole in the hull and sending supplies and the crew into naked space. Now, the Sulla is a dead ship.

The Rebellion was informed of this derelict by spies, and decided to send an expedition to gather any supplies and tactical information that could be aboard. Unfortunatly, the Empire also heard of the Sulla's fate and the Rebellion's intentions with it. The Empire now sends its own forces to destroy the the Rebel expedition and retake the Sulla.
**********************************************************************************
The map is based in an asteroid field with the Sulla in the middle, slightly tipped to its right side with a large hole in its hull. Around the Sulla are various things that have  leaked out of the ship, such as crates, fighters, Stormtroopers and officers, maybe the limp body of an AT-AT the Star Destroyer was carrying.

Debris should be thick around the gash with some things dispersed across the map.
The map should be filled with asteroids that  would pose a threat to the fighters.

Gameplay Description: (Combat type eg.Inf only, ticket bleeds)

Two factions on opposing sides, with the Sulla in the middle. This map is based in fighter combat with the factions launching craft against eachother and taking control points on meteors and the Sulla. Until they can go after the Titans.

Vehicles: Fighters.
Extra notes:none

Re: The Derelict

Repost, lost by Downtime: This has been suggested before, in the form of a derelict freighter with control points spread throughout its interior and an Imperial and Rebel fleet trying to board it, but I like the idea of a crippled Star Destroyer better. It lets us have a Star Destroyer map without having to attack the 'But there are over a thousand stormtroopers aboard, how can you possibly capture it?' problem.

What do you plan to use for boarding craft? Will you wait until the developers release something you can use?

Re: The Derelict

Great idea, however an asteroid would not cause that sort of damage. Also why did it go into the asteroid field in the first place?

In Empire Strikes Back, there's a scene where an asteroid hits a Star Destroyer's bridge and obliterates it.

Asteroids can be powerful things.

Re: The Derelict

Ok the decription I read it's a damaged ship with the damage caused by a hole , this hole one would think eventually cause structureal failure and cause the SULLA to break up , esp. if one concludes that life support/shields also failed and many more asteroids strikes have occurred . The ship by the time of the map is now in two main pieces with a debris field scattered around it .
Lifeboats were deployed but most of the personnell aboard were lost at the time of collision .Perhaps  the Empire's objective is to destroy the remains and deny the Rebellion from the salvage , the Rebels must escort 4 of those medic ships so they can gather supplies .

This would provide the needed objectives

Empire destroy all incoming REBEL medical frigates and or Sulla remains

Rebellion escort Frigates to the Sulla and remain alive after getting there for a period of time. Protect the Sulla hull from TIE Bombers.
