thanks for putting AT-XTs.
you can make the blockade runner more awesome if you ad it weapons,that would be really cool.

My only qualms are as follows:

The props on the River Basin map seem to stick out a little too much. I don't have a really good suggestion to fix it, but adding rocks/other props that match the terrain well is one idea.(What really blared this to me was the red barrel on the white terrain.)

That terrain wall is... well, a terrain wall. Maybe some models spaced out along it could make it look rockier and less stretched.

Thats a very good question. I doubt it, I am pretty sure he is using the assets from the asset section, and I have that as well, it has no weapons set up, and he said it would have no real effect, so I am guessing it has no weapons.

I guarantee everyone for the most part will want weapons on that thing.

And most people wanted the Salem witch trials, too; it doesn't mean they were a good thing.

But that's just unnecessary pessimism on my part. Guns on that blockade runner would be cool and will probably work out.

If you didn't get it the first time, I'm pointing out that just because people want something doesn't mean it's a good idea. If it's too much trouble or it can't be pulled off properly or it ruins gameplay or something, better to chuck it, no matter how many people say "Aw, I was looking forward to that."

And then I was quick to stress that this probably will work out. You seem to have focused on the first half of my post, whereas the second congratulates acryptozoo on a cool idea. That doesn't seem uncalled for.

No, I understood your point in the first place, but like you said, that was unnecessary pessimism on your part. I know I am getting off-topic, but what if I had said "A lot of Nazis wanted the holocaust, but that doesn't mean that it was a good idea". The Salem witch trails are up there on the terrible things that humans have done to each other list, along with the holocaust, so thats why I was like, dude Image. Perhaps it would be wise to choose a better, more lighthearted analogy in the future?
Ontopic:
Naru, if you do add turrets to it, I suggest using the stock model, since the author of the flyable blockade runner, which, uses the stock model anyway, asked that the model not be edited. I personally think that the author has no right to ask this since it is not really his model, but I suggest you edit the stock model anyway to avoid any issues.

This mappack is looking amazing. And...I've always wanted to fly frigates/capital ships. A CR-70 (unless it was upgraded with the Vanguard c20 retrofit suite to bring it up to specs with the CR-90. :P) should be really fun to fly (either way, I've always liked the design of the blockade runner). :D

And I shall say, the skies are looking amazing.

That is a very humble statement, my friend but sadly the update is still an update and that one looks really good. So far your Yavin maps are like nothing I've ever seen, that is I've never seen Yavin look so good before. Good job!
