Note: going to try to play as turret gunner next time.  Their character model is amazing.  Team 3/4 are the real champs!   Yes, I checked to see what they looked like :)

Hey now!  Let's not look too closely under the hood... you'll ruin the illusion  :P   Those are some very detailed and intricate turret gunner models that I'm using, sitting at their equally detailed and high-polygon turrets, just firing away...

@411Remnant:  I watched your video and wanted to make 2 comments, just to make sure it's clear to players who may have played the SWBF2 space map upon which these assets are based:

a) the engines of both cruisers are destructible, but as noted in my instructions, they are not part of the systems that you have to destroy in order for your team to win.  I originally did include the engines as part of the victory requirements but I noticed that the AI often didn't attack them.  Since I was trying to create an IA game where the player must participate or the AI will eventually win, I opted to make the side cannons into the targets (since they are more easy for the AI to access and attack), instead of the engines (which are at the rear of each cruiser and harder to fly to).

b) capturing the airspace between the 2 cruisers does not trigger a loss in reinforcements for the other team. I did consider doing this originally but I realized that I don't want a team to win by causing the other side to simply drip away their reinforcements. It felt too anti-climatic. I'd rather the teams win by either blowing up all of the enemy systems and then capturing the airspace, or win by obliterating all of the enemy's fighters.  That felt more exciting  :moo:


I have exposed the neglect of the Turret Gunners!

*Please play this map, it is a lot of fun as both sides, good ol' dogfighting and taking down the Empire!  (and Rebellion)*

Folks, you don't want to click on that video link.  Why?  Because...
