Battle Above Endor Map Annoucement

Just had an idea - heroes? Obviously at the time of this battle, Luke, Han, Vader, Leia, Chewie and the Emperor are all busy, and it doesn't look as there'll be a Falcon so no Lando, but how about Wedge Antillies? I beleive he was recently voted the most popular minor character, and he would be easy to make...just put Denis Lawson's face on the rebel pilot model and give him some better weapons! How about it?

Great idea Wadi! But then who'd fill in for Empire? Perhaps an Elite Imperial Officer.

Someone was working on Lando lately.

hmm, well you have admiral Piett, but all he did was to camp on the executor.
but to maybe take a revolutionary decision i would go for Arvel Crynyd as rebel hero.
everyone that watched Ep6 should remember green squads leader Arvel as he crashed into the executor and resulted in sending the piece of junk crashing into the deathstar.
Wedge is of course a good choice too but i say he's to "original" for this map.

Too "original"...how do you mean? Wedge is a character everone knows. Arvel Crynyd...no offense, but his name was probably made up after the movie and was in shot for a few seconds in the entire movie.

well, i meant that taking a well known guy like wedge as hero was to original.
this is an extraordinary map, so why don't just go alittle extraordinary in the hero choice too?
it's only a suggestion, since i'm getting alitte tired of all the known heroes on maps, i'd say something new would be good.
but i am fine with wedge too.
Lando would be a nice thing though...

oh yeah, if we CAN get a falcon ingame, Lando would become my first choice.

well there is a lando model out alredy, i dont know were to get it but its on a map pack ore somthing.. an about that falcon i have a falcon model, but i just dont know howe to get it in game...

Yeah, the Lando Model is in Bespin Platforms for BF2, and about the Falcon, there is a Model that was used for BF1, Maybe you could use it to add him into the map, and speaking about lando, the Hangers of the Mon Calamari's will be like in the movies?, or will have the actuall look?

Xwing, I have and idea you may want to use (if it hasn't been posted, too long this thread):
You could make ppl follow you, but when you're on your ship, I mean like "squadrons", you should aim at one of your buddies, press F4 and he should follow you, just like in ground battles, i don't know if this is already possible, when I tried it didn't work, and I also cannot know if this is posible to do, cause unfortunately.. I don't know how to make maps or models...

If not completed correctly; this could be a VERY laggy(spelling) map...
Out of pure curiosity; how are you guys going to fix it?

EJMM · Post by **EJMM** » Sun May 28, 2006 2:20 pm

well, It's worth it, I'll like to play the map even if the unit moves every 2 seconds

ARC_Trooper · Post by **ARC_Trooper** » Sun May 28, 2006 4:10 pm

yup, same here...
(Lag DOES have its advantages...) :twisted:

that's right, soooo,Hey Xwing guy, could you do the Original HomeOne Hangar?, I saw a map that has it. the Dogfight death star II, maybe you colud tell him if yo can use it, that way it will be more like in the movies, just a thought

xwingguy · Post by **xwingguy** » Sun May 28, 2006 6:25 pm

it's just a rescale of the polis massa hangar.

EJMM · Post by **EJMM** » Sun May 28, 2006 8:33 pm

Well, so that's already done?

MartinK · Post by **MartinK** » Sun May 28, 2006 8:44 pm

I think he's going to make his own hangars, similar (or the same) as the Polis Massa one, but I don't thinks he started them yet...

PS: Can you use the command Follow Me (F4) in space battles??

Follow me when u r in space or just in a ship, MartinK?

I think he means space. Like: You tell them to follow you while in the hangar, you get in a ship, they get in another one, and fly after you.
