Topic: First Strike Interview: Death Star, Ranks, Maps and more...
As promised: The complete interview with a look beyond maps, ranking and the surface of the death star...  English: http://www.bf-news.de/inhalt-page,First … ,2977.html
German: http://www.bf-news.de/inhalt-page,First … ,2985.html First Strike Patch 1.2 is nearing and in addition to the coming FIRST STRIKE COMMUNITY Events, which will take place every friday AND saturday, we sat down with some of the developers to get to know, what we will see with 1.2. Maps, Death Star, Ranking...there are various topics, we put on the question list...and got a lot of very interesting answers. Want to know more? Read on! Content: * Release including the Death Star?
* Favorite maps and new concepts
* Ranks, Stats, Awards..?
* More goodness beyond v1.2
* First Strike Gaming Evenings (....)
It seems to us that the maps that come with ground-fighting are much more appreciated by the gamers than the space battles. Do you share these findings? What could be a reason for that? Imperial: I think the main reason the players are a bit dissatisfied with the space play is primarily because it requires large numbers to be enjoyable, there's not much you can do on your own. If you're in a cap ship you'll want fighter support, if you're in a fighter you're going to want wing mates to cover your back, etc. With the current release, and the issues that came about with it before the hotfix, the population sort of thinned out with (...)

Also, at the moment our space maps are very simplistic, and we hope to add more depth to the gameplay in the next few releases. The first improvement that will be introduced in 1.2 is damage zones for capital ships. It now makes a significant difference where you shoot an enemy capital ship, forcing players to not only protect their weak spots but to position them selves to attack the enemy's, weak points. Imperial: This is a definite yes. You'll be getting at least one more in 1.2 (not counting the Death Star). RedMonkey: Also, a lot of our fans have been politely requesting boarding maps, and although I can't comment on exactly what we'll be doing with boarding, you're likely to see something along those lines after v1.2. Keep your eyes on our news section in the future.

It is definitely very exciting... I was already really amped up for 1.2 when I thought we were just getting Death Star and Ryloth.

You were promised 2 maps, 2 vehicles, ranking and much, much more. What part of 'much, much more' don't you get ? In hindsight, I think they said only two maps and all that because only two maps were confirmed. But yes, it's more than that now. So far, confirmed:
- 3 new maps (Ryloth, Death Star, Mystery Space Map)
- 2 new vehicles (Firehawke, T1-B), X-1 TIE Advanced speculated but not confirmed
- Ranking system
- Damage zones for starships More than that has been confirmed, hasn't it? Help me out here.
