Those Yavin and Naboo shots are incredible. Even more realistic than the shipped skies. And... It is online compatible (?). Too beautiful for Thesaurus.com to describe.

On-Topic: Cool skins. The random AI heroes thing will be interesting.

Off-Topic: Mav was just promoted to admin? I thought he already was lol. Seemed like it.

I am reminded of the old saying that a Dark Lord used once: "Impressive. Most impressive."

This is most likely going to sound really cheesy, (especially since I've toyed in only minor ways with any custom scripting) but that

is brilliant. I really appreciate how much time you put into simply making it online compatible.

Wow! That's alot of vehicles. I didn't even know that the RM-09 shuttle or the TIE Vanguard existed. Makes me wonder what kind of TIE fighters their going to come up with next...

Perhaps I'm not familiar enough with Star Wars technology, but what's with the holographic sort of effect on the TIE Vanguard?

I think you could replace VSD's with Acclamators. I know VSD's were already in use by that time, but still it would make it more different. And btw. they dont look like actual VSD's at all, more like Jerec's Venegeance that was scaled down.

Hey Mav, I know this is probably a stupid question since this mode is based around the Force Unleashed game, but will Starkiller's ship the Rogue Shadow be included?

Note: love the Z-95
Personally I'd love it if you kept the X-Wings in Mav, unless someone has a better 'canon' suggestion.

Note: love the Z-95
I personally like X-Wings, the time period is sort've a nebulous "before Battle of Yavin," not specifically during the events of "Force Unleashed," and frankly, some allowances have to be made to make sure that there is a good fighter complement for each faction. I don't think there's any better answer for the Alliance's multirole fighter, so the X-Wing it is.

And re: other "canonical" inconsistencies in space maps:
A lot of that kind of fixing would require entirely new space maps (which was why I likewise didn't create a full-blown space mode for the KotOR era), and I'm not going to do that kind of extra work or add that kind of extra size to this mod.

Nope, there's no really good place for "hero" flyers with stock space maps.
