Ships?
Is it possible to have ships in Battlefront? I mean proper ships that float on water, and they are just like normal vehicles that have weapons and health; the warships could be like capital ships and a space map, and there could even be submarines. Is this possible?

Yeah, I think both are possible. I know there was a map made where a submarine was used, and a boat would just be a hover vehicle, but with a lower hover height. Sorry, not sure how you do the submarine.

Re: Ships?
Any "submarines" would be on a map that was completely under water. Since you can't really have a map like that, one changes the environment to make the map look like it's underwater, and thus a submarine is a regular flier.

Re: Ships?
Surely you could just give a hover vehicle negative height. The only two problems that could be caused by that are that:
1) If you went on land, you would be underground (I think).
2) You cant change the height you float/ swim at.

Re: Ships?
Just as with many ideas people have, while it may be possible, anything would be just a long work around. The engine is just not built for this.
