I have taken the entire space battle and cut it out from the movie for your viewing pleasure.

Blocked already.

Actually, this raises an interesting question.
Will Fate of the Galaxy be the first mod to build a REAL Battle Of Endor mission? :P
-
Perhaps you should try employing cap-ship command and have the mission done from a ship rather than a fighter.
-
What is a REAL battle of Endor even?

The Battle of Endor is an actual battle that takes place in Return of the Jedi.

lol. There goes Lorric taking questions literally. My question was directed to Hobbie, for his sentence assumes there was a "Real" war going on and not just some pretty fireworks for viewer amusement. What can "Real" even mean in that concept?
-

I'd stake everything I own that I've judged Hobbie correctly in his meaning.

Are you ****ing serious Luis

I find amusing that we people reify so much of what we see on-screen. For what is worth, I did play the REAL BoE in XWing Alliance. And it was great.
-
The death star sequence was awful..

Alright, let's try this again.
The Battle of Endor is an actual battle that takes place in Return of the Jedi.
Battle of Endor or BoE for short is a term used on this forum to describe large fleet battles.

Hobbie means will fate of the Galaxy produce a Battle of Endor that is the actual Battle of Endor and not the usual use HLP has for the term Battle of Endor.

I was gonna say it but this got posted first.
BoE missions are SRS BZNSS!

I even modified it so you were in Wedge's seat instead of Lando's. The Falcon even had proper pathing built in and went after objectives itself. It was great... until you got to the reactor and Lando turns around without firing. Darnit.

Heh. That's actually a relief after this:

Yeah, if I'm gonna say that, I'm 100% confident, but still... :)

You owe me. :P

A friend of mine, Goldleaderone, did this, too:

I'm fond of the BoE in Rogue Leader myself (SW Trilogy Arcade also made a fun level out of it), but FSO has the potential to really do it properly with the right scripting. We just need like 9 more cap ship assets and a Death Star. No big deal.

Don't forget, planet.
-
We've got some decent forested planet bitmaps already actually, and making more of them is pretty simple compared to the 3D assets.
-
I suppose you could have simplified cap ships, off in the distance. As a pilot you'd stay in your little area, so you never get close to them.
-
Psh. For a PROPER BoE, they need to all be there! In game, destroyable. Mayhem!
Let's see...Nebulon B is close to completion, last I saw. It's been awhile. Star Destroyer is very near completion and being actively worked on. Home one is looking fantastic and actively nearing completion.
We have in game Corvettes, Gallowfree Transport (I think), The Bri-something Gunship, and all the required starfighters (and Falcon).
That leaves several more types of Mon Cals and a Super Star Destroyer. Am I missing anything else?
-
We're still using the placeholder corvette (it's the last model left to be replaced), so once bobbtmann finishes Home One we'd still need:
Corvette
Medium Transport
Nebulon-B Frigate
Liberty-class MC-80 cruiser
Reef Home-class MC-80 cruiser
Tector-class Star Destroyer
Imperial-I class Star Destroyer (don't know if you see the model in the movie, but I think it's assumed that not all of the ISDs are Tectors and IIs)
Executor
Death Star
So outside of the fighters we need a lot more than we have at this point. On the plus side, a fair number of these ships are in progress somewhere.
-
I didn't know our corvette was only a placeholder - it looked pretty good in the videos that have been posted. I'm surprised nobody else has picked that one up yet.
It's too bad Brand has been absent/busy with life lately. I'd love to see what he could do with that ship. Although in all honesty I think his true skill and genius comes through more when he's able to use some creativity and come up with something unique. His entire re-imagined line is AMAZING. I hope he's able to come back and join this project again at some point when his life allows it.
-
Yeah, brand is sorely missed. On the plus side, I think bobbtmann is going to tackle the Corvette after Home One is finished, which is a pretty big deal because I believe it's the last asset that we really can't launch without.

I could call up some of my old contacts working on Freeworlds Tides Of War and see if they want to help out... :P

As far as I understand, good 3d modelers and texture artists are still very much needed on the team. Chief1983 obviously has the final say, but send them our way! We can at least get the discussion rolling about how they might be able to help.
