Well, obviously it'd make sense to have them die, but I'm curious as to how exactly Xwingguy's gonna do it. Creating a vacuum is pretty unlikely... just having them drop dead would be kinda lame too. If it were up to me, I'd just have a huge explosion that'd kill everything within the bridge. Then trigger the door to the bridge to lock after it's been destroyed, so as no one can just walk in. That'd probably be the best thing to do.

I'm not sure at all whether Xwingguy will place the bridge room within the brigde object.

When you've played RC you know that there are lots of rooms full of consoles and stuff which are located under the brigde object - at least it was like this on the RAS Prosecutor.

And in the X-Wing: Wraith Squardron series we get to know that many ship have a second bridge. Maybe this could be the bridge room.

Or there's a message "evacuating bridge now" when the bridge is on 10% Health, and all bots run out, and then we get a message "un-sealing bridge now" and everyone still on the bridge dies.

:lol: thats funny and i can picture that in my mind and it looks funny. :lol:

Kinda like what Schizo said, it should be like when a gernade explodes, the unit being affected is blasted back somewhere else.
It should be like all of the units in the command Bridgedo what happens when a gernade explodes. Its kinda hard to explain but you've seen a gernade explode and what happens to the unit.

When the Command Bridge is destroyed, will the player who destroys it get all of the points and kills for killing the people inside the command bridge? I think the playuer should just get points for destroying the command bridge and not the people within it.

Now that would be awesome. Kills are linked to a player's ordnance tho. So an explosion triggered by the bridge would be considered suicides by all those left on the bridge. Even though the player hit the bridge's critical system, it is still considered separate, since the bridge explosion is triggered by the bridge.

I would rather have it be considered suicide" ie: [GT]Teancum died" then the player getting all of those kills and points. That would be cheap to get all of those points and every1 ould just head after the command bridge first so they get all of the kills and points there.

Then... wouldn't you think, people would stay out of the command bridge?

That wont just "wouldnt be good"....It would suck. Xwingguy's computer crashing or "exploding" is something we have faered since the map was a month or two into progress. But, if u think of it, it isnt more then, probably a lot less then, 500MB.

I hope ya'll are saving up for more RAM and a better video card, becuase I 110% guarantee you're going to need it to play this map. I'm not knocking XW, but the engine was never meant to be pushed this far, and to be honest, sp might be fine, but mp gameplay will suffer due to the processing power needed.

Ok...I need to upgrade anyway. I'm running a AMD Athlon 2800+ with integrated nVidia GeForce MX440 graphics and 64mb shared video memory...

I'm running an ATI xtasy 9600 card with 256 mb, and a 2.4 ghz prosessor, so I think my computer will do fine, but like EmperorDonkey said,
The engine, she just can't hold it Cap'n. Shes gonna blow. ABANDON SHIP!
It'll be a miracle if the engine will run it! :shock:

Wow, this map will be amazing.

I think that the Rebel Commando looks a little to much like a stormtrooper...=\ But maybe thats just the angle i'm seeing it from.
