::New Map Idea:: Rehn Var : Orbital
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 1:07 am
STORY/IDEA:
Before the Clone War battle began on the surface of Rehn Var, the CIS and Republic fought for control of the region surrounding it and an abandoned sensor station orbiting the planet.
DESIGN:
The map is going to be a space battle map which also has some indoors infanty fighting aboard a space station. The map size is 256x256.
-SHIPS:
The CIS start with a single static Federation Control ship located in one corner while the Republic start with two assault ships in the other corner. The Command Core of the federation ship will be a destructable command point with 80,000 health, and the bridges of the two Republic assault ships will also be destructable command points with 40,000 health each. Each team will have 400 tickets and if either teams destructable command points are destroyed, the tickets will deplete rapidly.
Each team will have 40 fighters, the CIS fighters will will sit in the hangar of the Control (ive already created the outer section of the control ship in zero editor). The Republic fighter's will probably just be sitting on the outer hull of the assault ships Dome mesh, with 20 fighters on each ship.
-SPACE STATION
The space station will be located in the centre of the map and it wil consist of three levels. There are 5 neutral command points on the station, with 1 one the bottom level, 3 on the middle level and 1 on the top level.
The bottom level of the space station will be fairly small and will be a kind of engineering leve, with 1 CP located in the centre.
The middle level is the largest level and is the accomodation, cargo and landing area. The accomodation area is located in the center with 1 CP in it, and on either side there are 2 landing/cargo areas which have 1 CP each.
The top level is also relatively small and is the control room, which has 1 CP located in the centre.
There are stairwells joining all of the levels of the space station.
At this stage there aren't going to be any turrets on space station as I'm wanting the space battle to be for fighter's only and the indoor battle for infantry only.
OTHER BITS:
Might have to adjust the stats for the jedifighter and droidfighter as they'r not really that ballanced, at least I don't think so. And does anyone know if there's bombers for the CIS and Republic in the star wars universe?
Myabe thinking of putting asteroids or debris in the void between the station and the ships, but if I put too much it might make things too difficult for the AI and they might crash everywhere. Dealing with the AI planning is going to be difficult as it is.
Hopefully this map will be a good mix of fighter battles and infantry battles.
So how does it sound? I'll put up pics of the station plan and what I've made so far shortly
