the only thing about the interiors is that it seems it might bring down FPS for people when it really isnt necenssary cause i doubt anyone is gonna run around the inside of the ship the whole time while its being bombed. i completely remodeled the b-wing, using rogue leader as a reference and the lambda needs to be textured, its UV mapped, i just have to make the texture and the b-wing will get a new texture too and a cockpit view.

Since everyone's so worked up about this not really being all that true to the real Battle of Endor, with the interiors and everything (including me >.>)... why not just... you know... change the sky to a different planet? It'd be simple, and everyone will be happy. Then we won't have to worry about accuracy, since it's a completely different battle altogether? Just a suggestion.

Nice pictures....

Xwing', I think you keep it the way you want it. It's your map not theirs so they don't have to play it if they don't want to. Who says that SWBF2 maps have to be true to the films anyway? I mean take a look at the actual shipped maps. They aren't exactly accurate.

hey x-wingguy, is it possible to shift the shield generators into the balls on top of the ISD? In the movies (mainly Ep.6), those were the shield generators and when the right one was destroyed the ISD lost bridge and rear shielding. I would really like to see those turned back into shield generators to be more toward the movie. :D

Woah. This looks not just awsome, but huge and incredibly detailed.
I didn't particularly like playing endor maps as a whole, but this looks just truly amazing.
Keep it up

I see, my main idea of this map was to create something more like what we expected from the game. So by creating the large interiors along with everything else I'm including it really puts the quote "Any way you want," quite literally. Endor just kinda happened to be the place to start.
No, actually, after the destruction of the Second Death Star, several Imperial Star Destroyers were captured by the Rebel Alliance/New Republic. Most notably the Accuser/Emancipator.

Any more new screens?

looks awesome, no EPIC is a better word
this looks like a map that might make me actually want to play space battles again

Do the interiors differ from ship to ship? cuz the same interior design in every ship might be kinda monotonous (thank you for that LA)

and 1 more kinda odd question,
Can you make this a truly epic battle like that takes forever?
now just listen for a sec before you write this off, theres already 56 or w/e CPs and if there were TONS of reinforcements (like 10,000 range <is that even possible?, not sure>), you could make this truly epic, like an actual battle where it takes almost three hours to conquer the entire map and you feel like you have really accomplished something when you win

you could have servers with this map solely on it, and jumping in to an epic battle like this would create a feeling more akin to, "how can i help my team here" than the normal, "GOTTA GET KIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLS!!!!!!" attitude, which just gets pointless after a while. If i just wanted to go for kills id just play singleplayer, i play multiplayer to work together with other players, of which there is sadly little in SWBF2

and yes i no three hours is an inordinate amount of time but i think this map has the possibility to create a truly great multiplayer experience, please give it a little thought before you write it off

congrats either way and srry for the long post

Alex my buddy I have just came up with a absolutely brilliant idea!!!

How bout two versions of this map?

The first one would be Battle of Endor.

The second would be the Battle Over Coruscant (The first one of the Galactic Civil War), which took place soon after the destruction of the Death Star II. The Alliance fleet gathered the reamining forces from the Battle Of Ender (along with others, possibly some captured Star Destroyers) and unleashed an assault on the planet to liberate it of what's left of the Galactic Empire. This is EU, but it is canon.

I think it would be a great idea. I was planning to make a space map for the GCW version of the battle over coruscant, but your map would be much better than anything I could do.

All you'd have to do was change the background (as far as I know). I think it would be very much worth it, and the users complaining about the maps differences to the actual battle might still be able to enjoy it.

Yea this is partially my wanting a GCW battle over Coruscant, but I think you should do it.

But whatever floats your boat....

Since a lot people think this isnt what the battle was like, maybe xwingguy should just change the background and say it is a different battle.

My little bit TOO hopeful estimation would be like 80%

Warm... Cold....?

I kinda agree with charlie. Maybe just change the name. Thats about it, and then u won't have so many people saying its not at all like the Battle over Endor
