look´s good
but from the third picture from the top it looks like you can just walk outside

Indeed, you really have to fix that prop placement.

Look, it's only a beta, nothing is perfect, and second, it's supposed to look crooked to show damage to the ship.
I already was thinking of playing around some more in that area of the map to get the CIS side looking like it rammed the Venator, and not vice-versa.

I think he means the gaping holes where two mismatched hallways come together.

I know, I saw it, it's meant to look crooked. I just haven't had time to put stuff in the holes that were created when I made the corridor crooked.

first, you could release your map with the holes. then you'd have enough time to fill in the holes, maybe you could make your own models for the holes, so they'd look more professional and not just like the absence of props.
also, in the second version you could add props to the interiors of the lucrehulk.

No. Don't rush anything ever just to release it. Happens too often.

yeah, i know what you mean...
in my idea the release shouldn't be the final version.
but it was just an idea

looks great, i love the number of ships in the battle, thats almost as many as in my space maps

UPDATE: Things are going so smoothly, I am astounded.
-Invaded Venator: neutral CP added, gives an advantage to both sides, although the CIS will have a hard time defending it.
-I actually (with some Fake Console-using ) won the map by 8 points! Whoops, a little too late for that pilot over there.

-Doing small fixes to patch up holes and what-not.
-Tweaking sides a bit more, making Obi-Wan special and Count Dooku a little less powerful. (He's always using Force Repulse [based off of ST:TFU, but without the bubble and shockwave] constantly)

Does anyone know how to get troopers in ships?

you can make the repulse overheat

What's an ambush path? I tried finding one via Search, but it's all "help me" topics and not a FAQ.

Regarding Force Repulse, good idea. How about a 10 second "cool-down" period? That should be a long enough interval.

yea, that sounds long enough.

EDIT: will the repulse overheat after used once, or?

@AQT: [slaps own forehead in stupidity]
I think I need to go to bed, I'm tired and can't really think straight.

Ok, so Ambush is triggered by either entering a region or assigning it to an event.
So how does this help get troopers in the fighters? The main problem is, they either 1) stand beside the ship and do nothing, or 2) take off to the nearest wall.

Wait, is it possible to have ambush-ees immediately forced into fighters when they spawn in? Is that how? (My brain is too tired )

the AI are so smart

The land battle, by contrast, is smaller due to the lesser numbers of troopers in the capships (don't know why there aren't any troopers spawning in at certain command posts, must be they've all died or thrown themselves out the airlock;)).

Yeah,put an airlock in the Venator
*falls toward corusant*

Regarding ambush paths: Do I make it so starfighters spawn in as the ambushers?
(I'll test it)

Ok, here's another update.
UPDATE:
-Most of the smaller problems in the map such as stuff sticking out, holes in the walls, uneven flooring, door problems, etc. have been fixed. There's only a couple stuff that I probably missed and didn't notice.
-I am planning the release of another beta, but first I have to get more starfighters up and in the air. Once that is complete, I will work as fast as possible to get the beta out to you guys, as I owe you guys a beta from halfway through October.

So that's the sitrep. I assure you I am looking forward to the completion of the beta and eventually the map as much as you guys do.

Sorry I haven't checked in here in quite a while. All of the updates are great. Can't wait to play, it looks like it will be a great space map!
