Idea with terrain size

I've looked over my space battle and while it is nice, its not even remotely realistic. It looks nothing like the episode. The main problem I have with encororating everything I want is that the map is just too small. I have to make cliffs because otherwise you could just fly off the edge of the map. I was wondering if it is possible to add a large amount of flat terrain outside the playing field so that I could include the battle that was in the episode without having to resize terrain and then redo all of the heights.

What episode? Why do you have terrain on a space map, unless it's one of those blending attempts? Is it one of those blending-space-and-land attempts? At any rate, there's a tutorial in the FAQ for changing terrain size.

No.

The most you can do is put Tatooine canyons on their side.

@Mitch, I was talking about landing at point rain were I have the frigates and the air battle.

But seeing as I would have to redo all of the heights I guess the airbattle isn't changing, thanks for the help though

You can include a map boundary?
Have you tried that?
Unless you're talking visual, then a very thin terrain wall will probably suffice. (Vary the height to look realistic)
