As to the Death Star:
Do you know Jeff Russell's STARSHIP DIMENSIONS ? It's very useful when you want to compare Star Trek to Star Wars Ships. But if choose -100x, and scroll down , you can see the DSII.

just a quick word i thought i'd add in here becuase you seem to really be going for accuracy, and that is that the TIE Defender was not yet available at the battle of endor, i've read all the rogue squandron books and in one of the later ones TIE defenders have a big part, and it states that there weren't any at the battle of endor, but your mod man, do what you want, but like i said, you look like you want accuracy.

There was an entire squadron of TIE Defenders that participated in the Battle of Endor.

You mean the Liberty?

Yup, liberty, jusy wondering if it could be included.

If not it would be cool to add the debris like it was just blown up.

Is the medical frigate going to be in it?

cool, thanks Shizo, I had no idea that there were any there, thanks for correcting me on that one.

Do you plan to include some kind of campaign mode ? It could be a simple introduction into the map's concepts, or the story of a rebel or an imperial during the battle of endor.

Out of curiousity, and the fact that this could be useful to me (pardon my laziness in my lack of seaching forums thouroughly), how would that specific image be placed into a skybox? (you can be brief, but not vague. Im not a noob, but i still need to know what and how)

I think it would replace a skybox cruiser.

so x-wingguy
have you decided on a death star pic yet?

Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2006 4:22 pm
by xwingguy
Teancum's right, it's for the sky box. Only problem I'm having now is finding a msh that will work well with it. nebulas just totally distort the image and the planets themselve due too. (They use a square texture to make a round object.

So far I like these 2 the best:

I had a great idea today! :mrgreen: The Y-wing fighters would no longer be bombers (since they really weren't supposed). The key components (such as Life support, Communications, etc) would be a lot weaker (Like the Battle Over Coruscant Campaign) so that three or four proton torpedos would destoy them so there is no longer any need for slow ships to be bombarding the same target over and over and you can add the same vigor and excitment to the space maps that you see in the movies. The same fighters can assault capitals AND fighters. THe Y-wing could be moved to a diffrent job (like that of the X-wing). :wink:

PS: I like the second pic better

Second one. Also I support what trianmaster said.

id have to say 1st one, the second may be better but the first is brighter, it will be better to see and all kinds of visibility advantages

I like the 1st one because the 2nd looks to dark.
The one pics of the DSII was probably to big.
