Its here!!! After the release of Ravens generous gift to us: The Map Pack, we still kept yelling "We want more siege maps!". And even though we are so spoiled they did it! They have made a siege map with things you have never seen before. Its siege, with objectives and such. But IN PLANES! Yes! You fly Imperial Tie's or X-Wings and Headhunters for the rebels. It features the COOLEST Hyperspace effect, an ENOURMOUS model of the Star Destroyer and lots of fun. The experts call it "The re-invention of JK3" and it brings new fun to a good game. :D

omg this map is sooooooo cool!
FunkMaestro - February 25, 2004 03:01 PM (GMT)
^ I know! Probably the coolest thing for jka ever... but you cant expect nothing less from Raven! I truly loved the hyperspace effect. And everything is just SO big!
Plus i think this (as an example) and the new vehicle tutorial will help people do more maps like this. Im awaiting the "Attack on the Death Star" siege map!! :D

well i think the map is kinda slow but heck
FunkMaestro - February 25, 2004 03:56 PM (GMT)
^ Slow in what way? Because your pc is so crappy that everything lags? hehe... :lol: I actually think that its too fast. Sometimes if the team is big, it only takes five minutes to win.

It's a cool map! But it would be more fun when you have to enter the ship, and have wars in it! :D
I think that Angelus means that the plane's are to slow. Not his pc. B)
FunkMaestro - February 25, 2004 04:13 PM (GMT)
The planes are as fast as in kotor (if not faster). Its just the map thats so huge that it takes longer time to fly through.
Angelus - February 25, 2004 06:34 PM (GMT)
yea but i see some of the ships moving really slow but psycho is right that would be way cooler.. btw my pc isnt s*** cuz i got the newest of the newest :D B)
FunkMaestro - February 25, 2004 07:32 PM (GMT)
^ Yeah... but you can also see how big it is just by looking at the normal sized millenium falcon that looks tiny even below the ship.
Yeah, it would be cooler if you had to first destroy the defences, then enter the ship and turn the beam off FROM IN THERE!

yeah :D but the map is enormous... damn i was lost :P

This map is just a bit awesome

I dont like it... too limited. It would be alot better if you had a scenario where a star destroyer is attacking a rebel corvette which is immobilised, and the rebels have to stop the boarding craft and the enemy fighters, and there are imperial players in the craft who have to dock and fight with the rebels through the ship to get to the control room to deactivate all weapons onboard the ship and capture all the rebel spawn points. It would also be affected by the starfighters outside as each team would be fighting to stop more players (possibly npcs to) entering the ship.
Angelus - February 26, 2004 11:22 AM (GMT)
yep that would be soo cool.. but i hope that will come next

I dont think you realize how impossible just doing something like that with the jk3 engine is!! I mean noone has ever done anything that just looked like it. So i dont understand you thinking its limited. It was actually just made as a test map to make it clear what was possible. Therefore the tutorials are there. That plan of yours might be a little out of hand...
Biz - February 26, 2004 07:26 PM (GMT)
Maybe its just me... i never am satisfied. Anyway id prefer a mixture of fighters and ground troops, if i wanted to play x-wing v tie-fighter I would.
FunkMaestro - February 26, 2004 07:59 PM (GMT)
Yeah, they made alot of descriptions and modifications to new different characters you can be in the game, but they have no use because you will be dogfighting all the time... so you're right at that point.
