About the weapons. what weapons do the Sandtrooper use? In the Controlpost movie scene the weapon looks like the standart blasters right?
What else?
And yes all Sandtrooper look like the shocktrooper except one shot from the Special Edition. 2x2 regular Stromtroopers patrolled along the street.
Maybe someone can create a cool Sandtrooper skin?

Rends
They carry a Blaster pistol, blaster rifle and a repeating blaster...
Droideka already created a skin pack with the sand trooper, scroll up :)

The models are looking great that far, but don't make the mistake you made with the Corucant City map - you used low-resultion skins without much details.

Take your time, and create some nice skins with lots of rust and brushes etc. on it. Don't use "color blobs" like on the Coruscant city map. I think the mapping com' can wait for a long time without forgetting your project (btw. : how long are already waiting for battle above endor ? )

PS:
NO offense, natürlich^^

Thanks Penguin, i will use them,
check PM.

And oh, i didn´t saw the link to Droidekas skins.
Guess i will use the Green or Red Twiilek and possible Jawa variations and Gamorreans.

One question. The shocktrooper has the orange badge on his shoulder. I think to use the orange one as Officer and black one as regular trooper.
Can the black one found in Droidekas skin pack and if so what´s the name?
The sniper will be also a black badge Shocktrooper. No Jettrooper .
and i´m not familar with blaster names so you need to help me out here.

Let´s create the
--------------------------------------------------
Imp side:
Sandtrooper -BlackbadgeShocktrooperskin with regular Blasterrifle + grenades
Officer - OrangebadgeShocktrooperskin- Blasterrifle + Pistol + ReconDroid
Sniper - BlackbadgeShocktrooperskin - grenades

slot 4 -7 free. Any suggestions?

Hero? Maybe the Officer but what weapons?

Guess i will place one or two ATSTs on the map. A dewback would be nice but we don´t have one.
--------------------------------------------------
Local side:
Jawas
Red or Green Twiilek
R2 (or part of ALL side if someone tell me to make him AI only)
Gamorrean
Reskinned human ( Rebel Pilot)
Reskinned human (Han Solo ?)
Reskinned Tauntaun and Wampa?
Bothans?
3 different driveable speeders
---------------------------------------------------
Rebel side (Desert Camo):
Rebel soldier
Rebel sniper female
Rebel Vanguard
Rebel Engineer
Slot 6+7 free (?)

Hero?
No Vehicles or the combatspeeder?

Waiting for feedback...

I think Landspeeders and imperial speeders r the only vechiles that should be used.

well i disagree...its good to have a variety of speeders in Mos Eisley, seeing as how the movies show it to be a place with many different creatures, species, technologies...variety in the speeders would be good...

Imperial speeders? What´s that?
Schizo

Post by Schizo »

Black Shoulder Pad - Sandtrooper Private
White Shoulder Pad - Sandtrooper Sergeant
Orange Shoulder Pad - Sandtrooper Commander

I don't think there are any other ranks besides those however.

For you hero,
What I was planning on at Siege of Mos Eisley is using the Senior officor leading the Assault; DSS-0956.

About transport, read this:
Instead of depending on machinery that may not function in hostile environments, sandtroopers make use of local creatures for transportation.
You could add a fun aspect, in order to keep the atst running, you need to repair him from time to time:P.
And what I was planning to use also, and you might like too in your map, is this:
A stormtrooper sergeant's pauldron is white while an enlisted stormtrooper's pauldron is all black. Squad leaders, who lead units of seven troopers, wear orange shoulder pauldrons.
(in effect schizo is right :P this is just more detailed :P)
I have tried this before and has a quite nice effect. You need to hex edit/ignore a lot of strange signs while editing with word pad, the Stormtrooper_pack's for it... well you probably know, nevermind.

Last, in the movie, they seem to use a WIDE variaty of weapons(can be explained in two ways;
-1. More than one dispatchment of Troopers was there.
-2. It looked cool while making the movie)
So why not put in a lot of random looking weapons (watch closely, some weapons look very random and aren't listed on any site.).

Dread

Imperial Speeders=The ones on Endor.

I think all of think the speeders Rends showed us, Imperial Patrol Speeders, and a few other speeders from the GCW era will do.

Walkers and tanks wont be suitable for this map, in my opinion.

In the movies they used alot of old WW2 weapons with modifications. If you/someone else were going to model weapons then I'd say you have a little shoulder room.

Just as my skins described it since the SW Databank says so. (I have no reason to question the databank for this information specifically)

Actually guys there's another if you've played Empire At War.

Look.

I'm assuming they're the 501st. My guess is their rank is above the commander (orange).

Imp side:
Sandtrooper -BlackbadgeShocktrooperskin with regular Blasterrifle + grenades
Officer - OrangebadgeShocktrooperskin- Blasterrifle + Pistol + ReconDroid
Sniper - BlackbadgeShocktrooperskin - grenades
This seems right. The white Sand Trooper could be either the Rocketeer or Engineer but I'll leave that upto you.

And I can't remember but were there normal Sand Troopers carrying no backpacks? Perhaps in the movies they were soldiers??

I havn´t thought about a playable Probe Droid because it´s used to spread out in the galaxy and explore planets (seen in Empire strikes back)
But i´m thinking to replace the officier second weapon droid with the Sentry Droid
