Re: The December 2nd Video

Well, as they're trying to keep to the theme of Episodes IV-VI, I doubt Naboo will be one of them.

And, technically, the Death Star battle is the Battle of Yavin.  That's where it happened. smile

Just like Hoth=Escape from Hoth, not the ground battle.

Re: The December 2nd Video

The DS shots are simply amazing.
Do some of you guys remember the time where you were playing games like Rebel Assault 1&2 and you asked yourself when you would be able to finally see such visuals in a real space shooter like X-Wing?... I think the Devs have finally accomplished that.

I have got one question concerning the trench:
In ANH you see Vader's Tie and two normal Tie Fighters flying next to each other inside the trench. In the video the X-Wing did not seem to have much room to dodge the Tie's attacks. Are you going to open the trench up a little bit more in the final version or is the trench actually bigger than it appeals in the video.

The trench is as big as it was in the movies.

Yavin, I saw it on the test server so thats my guess. Also it would fit in nicely with the death star as the imps attacked the rebels on yavin just after the death star got blown up.

The Battle of Yavin is another name for the first death star battle.

Re: The December 2nd Video

You can fly ties side by side in the trench, not easily, but if you are good pilots it's possible.  The two normal ties were actually slightly behind and above vaders tie, not next to it.
