Aldura #1: Orbital Assault
Hidden/Spoiler:
Story:
The CIS has taken control of the planet Aldura. Although Aldura's industrial contribution to the war is minimal, the planet's position in the galaxy provides a strong tactical advantage to the faction controlling it. Knowing this, the Republic has sent a large invasion force to break the CIS blockade and liberate the planet....

CW Campaign - only mode for now; I have some others planned that will be included in a future update

Hidden/Spoiler:
Story:

of Republic soldiers descend on the city, the CIS
scrambles to establish a defense....

I haven't tried the Conquest mode yet but the Campaign mode is very awesome. It was quite difficult to complete the objectives but I did manage. I died 6 times the first time I tried. Overall, this is indeed a fun and very detailed map. I'll give Conquest a try tomorrow. Keep up the good work, Eggman!
DUDES!! HELLO!! Quite good? This map pwns?! Eggman, so much respect for a cool campaign map! I've tried to make one lately, and i know how hard it is!! Well done man, 9.5/10
A question I just remembered I wanted to ask, was everyone able to find the turret for shooting down the droid fighters at the end okay? I was worried that it might not be noticed unless you happen to spawn right next to it or the droids use it to shoot at you halfway through the mission (they aren't supposed to do that, by the way. That's one thing I need to take a look at).
Also, I mentioned it in the WIP topic but not here, every Republic unit has one bacta canister, so make sure you use it after you take a hit or two.
I found the turret alright but it was kind of hard to spot at first. You might want to replace that turret with the Anti-Aircraft turret from Bespin: Platforms, just my suggestion. I haven't tried Conquest yet but I will eventually.
Umm, Campaign mode isn't showing up under instant action for me. Help please?
If you do need the latest Conversion Pack it can be found here: SWBF Conversion Pack 1.9 and (optional) the Phoenix 1.8.4 Patch. I have the Conversion Pack and the campaign mode shows up for me so yeah it could be that you don't have the Conversion Pack and the campaign mode won't show up or you might just need [RDH]Zerted's updated shell, I would try it first. It can be found here: Updated Shell

I decided early on not to use that model because it's big, clunky, and wouldn't mesh well with the rest of the map. The turret I'm using might look a little underpowered, but for my purposes I think it works well enough.
And yeah, I didn't think to mention that you might need some form of the Conversion Pack or an updated shell that supports campaign mode in the Instant Action menu, so thanks for pointing that out.

I haven't played yet, but from the pics I'd suggest a beam/leaer style turret. Even if you change the ord and whatnot, it'd fit perfectly with the gray-ish atmosphere.
suggestions:
-make the lasers thinner
-make the homing range of the rocket launcher higher, then you are able to destroy the droid starfighters in the campaign mode.
-the campaign doesn´t take long so i think it would be cool if you make some more objectives.maybe you could add snail tanks or dwarf spiders to make it a bit harder to capture the beach base.
