Question on unit scale
« on: August 16, 2009, 09:23:21 PM »
Will the unit scaling be canon with the release of the full mod? Or will the fighters, soldiers, ships and vehicles be supersized/dwarfed like in vanillia?

It'll be closer to canon than vanilla is, but not completely canon. If it was, fighters would be fqar too small to see and hit, and things like the Executor and eclipse, if they were proper scale, would refuse to actually move and would just spin around. As for ground, it was fairly close to canon scale in vanilla.

Cool, I see you are going for a middle ground, by not making some units (fighters etc.) too small to hit, and others (The SSD's) too large to manuever.

It kind of ruined the mood in Vanilla to see a Tie Fighter with a cockpit the size of a Star Destroyer Bridge. I'm glad to hear the scaling isn't to off to ruin the mood while playing this mod.

It looks like I will have fun with this mod. Good luck with it, break a leg, or whatever they say. :P

I find that even reasonably sized supercapitals just spin around instead of actually moving. And my capital ships never tend to take a direct route (they'll do a loop or turn the wrong way).

Don't forget that Thrawn's Revenge space maps are considerably larger and more navigable than those in Vanilla EAW/FoC, which helps with the larger ships.

I always have the same problem and sometimes if you double click with he mouse to make them move faster they just stand still, will that be fixed?

Don't worry, SSDs have no trouble maneuvring around these maps, and the fighter scale is more realistic than I've seen in most other mods.

That's a pathfinding issue withing the game, however as Med8r said the way we have everythingset up more or less rectifies it

ok good cuz that was really annoying so far AotR was the best mod for SSD's and other large ships butt hanks for pretty much fixing that.
