As I already mentioned in the announcement thread, I loved it. Hope you tell us your secrets some day, I already have ideas on how to use some stuff you did. ^_^

[Schizo]

Sweet mother of mercy, it's finally out!

You know I'm downloading this.

[Stager00]

Incredible! Thats all I can say!

[Narlie-Charlie]

Sweet! and on my birthday too!

[PaganJedi]

Could we get a hosting site besides savefile? That place never works for me and I'd love to give this map a try

[darth-jedi]

I would like to include this map in my space map pack.

Is it all right if I do that?

It is a very great map and it would fit perfectly.

If so, post a message here for me to find

Thank you.

How do The Rebels win? Do we just shoot down that engine thing?

Just played, and of course, the ideas in this map are increadible. However, I have one suggestion - or, rather, a beg: PLEASE make the trench smaller. It's massive. You're pretty much going straight down into it to hit the exhaust port, and it takes forever to decend to its level. What I reccomend is that you make a trench that does not start right at the beginning of the surface (so the fighters will have to get past the battle above the trench in order to get to it) and then make the trench much, much smaller, but longer (so it doesn't seem like a pit, but rather an actual trench, and fighters are actually encouraged to run along the trench instead of going straight down into it). That, I think, would make the gameplay much more interesting, and center the game more around a chase through the trench (for humans, at least). That's the only thing I can suggest - everything else is awsome!

I like the dogfight action on this one, but I'd like to have other ships to play as. I also don't like it that there's a death region inside the hangar. Blocking off the doorways, or just making them non-accessible (like the side rooms are in 1-flag) should be good enough.
Making the turrets operable would be cool too. And, I agree with the trench depth. It's pretty deep, and takes a while to get down there.
This map would work really nice for CTF, putting a goal on each end of the trench.

YES.......Someone agrees with me!:) Yea.............Aside to what the person said above me (which is to DEFINITELY make the trench smaller, longer and have the walls of the trench be A LOT more close together) is to add ambience, WAY better lighting and adjust the scale of the surface but keep the size of the map. Basically, all of the textures and landscape of the Death Star surface should be reduced in size relative to the overall size of the map to allow the surface to appear to be more in depth and detailed.

DLing it right now. When i saw this my first thought was yes, finally!

[geoman777]

Wow one of the best maps i have ever played, including those from SWBF1. I think its a very unique map that was the first ever to actually grasp the feeling of fighting above the death star. Its amazing that this is still a beta, but awesome job

[Y2g2006]

Didn't get a chance to play as the Empire yet, but the only real suggestion I have is to at LEAST add some A-Wings.

And I don't think I saw any interceptors either, but like I said... didn't play as Empire yet. IF thats the case... I'd say add some of those too to even things out against the A-Wings.

[EmperorDonkey]

He's going for realism. At this point(ANH) there was no A-Wings because w/e planet that manufactured them ahd to yet to join the alliance.

[Y2g2006]

Variety > Realism

Thats all I have to say on that matter.

The X-Wings torpedos very seldom hit... The Y-Wing is pretty useless. Theres absolutely no way the destroy every turret.

Lets face it... Interceptors and A-Wings are usually what makes the maps interesting (if you ask me).

[OMEGA]

Exellent, EXELLENT MAP!! By far the best attempt I've seen at this spectacular battle! Add this and it will be gold! :

Sorry to advertise like this, but if you have a STAR WARS MUSIC REQUEST, post what you need for your map here: index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=4406

Yeah, the trench could stand to be a little smaller, and destroying that main port should trigger an automatic victory for the Rebels. Other than that, this map is by far the best space map out there!
