First look

This is a small size composite screen capture of what the Star Wars map looks like in SF. There are no warp lines yet and locations will be adjusted to look better but I thought I'd give you a preview of what things are starting to shape up to.

It looks like you can space it out a bit more so it doesn't look so cluttered, but very impressive start!

*mouth hits the floor*

whoah, thats extremely impressive. I'm still getting ships, the problem is finding the lowest poly count ones to use.

You could add some hidden systems in the top left area. Wink

Just an update: I've reached the 1/3 mark for adding warp points. Only about 1200 more warp points to go!! (345 systems, with an average of 5 WP's per system)

Then I start on spacing them out better. Basicly I'm going to rotate the whole thing about 20-25 degrees Clock-wise and space things out so that there shouldn't be any systems that are directly side-by-side.

Fyron, what the h*** is THAT?

I just want to say I think you should be very careful in editing the map, keep it as close to the origional as possible, I think the game will be alot greater with a more cannon map being used. and since that great big spot of unexplored space is there you can even create a whole set of missions set to discovering that.

Believe me, we plan on keeping things as canon as possible. The problem with this map is that in the really crowded areas near the right-hand side of the core, you can't read the system names where they are side by side. Each system should have at least 1 space between them so that all the names are readable.

Hmm, well in that case, being able to read the systems name would be pretty important, ill just have to beat up the inner fanatic and explain to him that sometimes changes have to be done. looks great though, having all thos planets

That is Huge are those full-sized systems?
If so, you should probably make ships faster than in normal Starfury, so that travel time (even with time accellrated) is reasonable.

Yet again, as long as mission time limits are long enough, it doesn't really matter.

Just another note, it would be nice if there were more fleet battle missions in Starfury. That should be easy to include in a mod and it would make it more like X-Wing vs Tie Fighter.
