Topic: Escort map idea

This idea started on another thread when I mentioned the Mon Calamari Trader.  The idea is such:

-(Edit) Map name - Rescue Ridge
-Escort map
-Similar to Escape from Hoth but on land
-(Edit) Terraformed asteroid
-(Edit) Dusk, hazy air, low visibility
-Escort Mon Calamari Trader filled with supplies and personnel hovercraft transports to awaiting Gallofree transports
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_Trader
-Rebel tanks would be available
-Anti-Aircraft vehicles/weapons would be suggested, Imps would have TIE Bombers
-Traders and transports would be piloted by people, not automated
-Rebels would spawn in either Arcology (Before it is captured by Imps) or Personnel transports
-Imps would spawn in either Arcology (After it is captured) or Lambdas/Sentinels or TIE Bombers

"An arcology on [Planet] is under attack from Imperial forces.  Rebel forces stationed in the arcology are about to retreat after making a stand.  Once the cargo vehicles are loaded, the Rebels must escort them and personnel transports to awaiting Gallofree transports on a nearby ridge.  Imperials have just breached the Arcology walls, and are making an all-out offensive to stop them!"

I am not making this map, it is just a suggestion.

Re: Escort map idea

I just suggested the same thing, an escort mission where you had to get a group of Freerunners from point A to point B. Either a batch like in Escape from Hoth or a single one that respawns if destroyed, like in PR.

Re: Escort map idea

Only one person I know of is bold enough and talented enough to do so: lagueriniere.  But for the Mon Calamari Trader a modeler, texture artist, etc. would be needed.  Plus, we would need a personnel transport for the evacuees and as a spawn point.  So, maybe this is a possibility for 1.3...

(Edit) I just love the word arcology, ever since STARSIEGE...

(Edit) There is also a map similar to this in the Rogue Squadron game, if I had my CD I would check it out.

(Edit) Map name - Exodus(?)

Can't you just use a Freerunner? It's got plenty of cargo space. You could code away the passenger seats to simulate that its insides are full of supplies. Then have Combat Speeders ferry troops around.
