THE STORY:
"Alliance/Republic forces are sent out into the dark reaches of deep space to investigate a derelict Corellian Corvette that went missing near the planet "Earth" in the Sol System.”
This is the pilot map to a rather large map pack whose maps will be released one by one and are being created by myself, THEWULFMAN, and AQT. As most of you probably already know, LUNA, Earth’s one and only natural satellite, has been studied by astronomers and eventually explored by astronauts for quite a large number of years, and this map is set upon the landing site from the Apollo 17 lunar landing mission. Although the map isn't an exact copy of the landing site, it is a close representation - give or take a few Star Wars props here and there.
THIS MAP CURRENTLY FEATURES:
- Eras including the Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, and Mass Effect,
- Modes including Conquest and XL,
- Auto-piloted bombers and assault craft,
- Visually-modified sides in the CW and GCW eras,
- Vehicles (AT-TE, Spider Walker, AT-AT, and more),
- An Apollo Lunar Lander prop,
- Realistically named geographic locations of the landing site,
- A rather eerie, yet beautiful soundscape, and
- BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!...
OTHER STUFF TO EXPECT:
- Maps from the Sol Map Pack.
UPCOMING MAPS IN THE SOL MAP PACK:
- Saturn: Titan (Xanadu)
- Venus (Research Facility)
- Jupiter (Mining Compound)
- Jupiter: Io (Geth Production Plant)
- Pluto
MAP/REAL LANDING SITE DIFFERENCES:
It is not very likely that there is a downed Corellian Corvette on our very own Luna. Not only that, but there probably aren't Star Wars factions brawling up there either...
MAP NOTES:
- The music in this map has been replaced with an eerie, yet beautiful soundscape; every map in the Sol Map Pack will have its own unique soundscape to replace the music.
- Auto-piloted flyers are only present in offline matches; this is due to a crashing issue online.
- OH BOY, an easter egg hunt?!
- Don't get scared...
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Luke Skywalker is...weird. He has the award pistol and shoots dead corpses just like the rest of the Alliance; the reason for this is because in order to have him use the Rebel "space trooper" unit mesh, I had to use the Rebel Soldier as a ClassParent, which inherited everything that the Rebel Soldier uses, including voiceovers as well as weapons
BETA TESTERS:
