I'm sure there will be, but the utapowu (Gra can't spell) Objects are kind of... Funky, it may not be easy to fit some of the utapuw (Harumph) objects in.

I probably won't be sending out a beta for a week or two so you're fine.

Off-Topic: does anyone live in gulf shore's alabama?

Hey Maul, that's wierd. I was about to ask when the beta-test was coming out.
You were answering my questions before I even ask them!

lol, I guess I just assumed that, ya know, since we are playing a war game, some actual strategy would only improve one's gaming experience.

my mistake
I don't see much fun in madly charging into a base, nearly invulnerable to enemy fire. I've noticed this balance of gameplay and realism has been at odds on these forums for a while now.

I'm not saying one shot=kill, but instead simply integrating proper flanking maneuvers and perhaps some scripted covering fire from the rim.
Ultimately this would allow for a more climactic feel while simultaneously satisfying many of the posters from the first page's urges for a more strategic feeling map.

Climactic Feel = Star Wars
Strategy = Good Game (IMO)

Update:

Here's a pic of the Republic's landing area. I'm probably going to add some gunship props here later.

And I've added a Venator in the sky that spawns gunships. (And of course, troopers to fly them)

Good idea? Bad idea?

Also, I've messed a bit with the terrain textures. Does this look better than the first screenshot?

I'm just a big fan of venator's in maps spawning vehicles because that is wat they did maybe add a LAAT/c with an ATTE that would rly rock if u pulled it off also change the rep skins they rly stink i hate the blue. Also add turrets (on the venator) that can be controlled from the inside and auto turrets that shoot the groud troops or other ships

I'm really sick of saying this, but there are NO BETA TESTING SPOTS AVAILABLE. I would appreciate it if people would stop asking to test.

Clone skin:

Good? Bad? Needs improvement?

Devils of the Republic!!! Its sweet! especially in the eyes, but it looks kinda painted though.

At some places you see a little bit too much white shine trough (for my taste). I like the dark red on his arms. I also suggest experimenting with the top part of the eye markings. Overall, the skin looks nice tough.

That looks Sweet

It reminds me of two clowns getting ready to do a Daredevil Stunt :!: Clowns *SHIVER*
