    StarDestroyer I

    This is a Star Destroyer that I built mainly because I was bored. Please note that the ship is kind of like a movie made after a novel, it is based off the original material but only loosely resembles it. At first I was only going to make it an aesthetic map but later realized that, quite frankly, there's no fun in that. So I added a few weapons on the ship and created an attackers platform at the other end of the map. This made the map more fun to play with friends and the few that have tried it enjoyed themselves.

    I used a money glitch map created by Maverick683 and have included a link to give credit where credit is due. I will admit that there are places where I could have interlocked but did not because I felt that the effort it would have taken would have only yielded insignificant results. I am not a forger in any sense of the word and gladly accept constructive criticism. Thank you for your time.

    Weapon List
    Star Destroyer:
    4- Spartan Lasers
    4- Rocket Launchers
    4- Sentinel Beams
    Platform
    5- Energy Swords
    4- Fuel Rod Cannons

    Attackers Platform. Ghosts meant to shoot at ship from afar. Shield doors prevent Tank from spawn killing too much. Fuel Rod Cannons can be used as artillery, Swords as offensive weapon.

    Thats a small star destroyer. U should have made it bigger. If u do so I will DL. But it looks neatley done and interesting. One more thing: If this is supposed to be a fair sided battle such as teamslayer or two sided capture the flag, the attackers will be ripped apart. If so, you should make another base similar in size and equipment. Maybe a ti-fighter carrier base.

    I started out with a bigger one but ran out of the number of items I could place on the map about halfway through so I had to scale it down. I was super disappointed.

    Hey mate,
    I really like the look of this map. Being a Star Wars fan I recognised it immediately XD The overall shape of it is almost perfect and I love it how there's an inside to it. Might I offer a few suggestions though? For the back of the Star Destroyer I think it'd be quite cool if you merged blue lights or active camos (preferably the former) into the stone platforms at the back to recreate the thrust engines. Also, it'd be pretty cool if it had more layers, but I realise tht'd take a lot of work. You could make a few tie fighters floating around the main Star Destroyer, but that's really not important. 1 final thing, is the tank only held in place by one non-movable item at the front (looks like a small column)? If so, you might want to add a few objects on the other side of the tank to prevent it moving as you've tried to do (please correct me if there only needs to be 1 item), cause I think a few well aimed missile shots from a hornet to the tanks' side and it'd be free. Not that a moving tank would make that much of a difference, but I'm asuming that you don't want it to move. Anyway, overall this map looks really cool, and congratulations on being one of the few "first posters" to make a correct map thread first time. Welcome to Forgehub!

    Did you REALLY need the infinite money glitch... to me it really doesn't seem like the full sandbox budget. Although it is neat, I can't imagine this being used as an actual game. Human can get in the hornets and go behind the shield doors and spawn kill? I like your interlocking, although it should be lots bigger, and how about giving some variety to it? The interior and outside seem a bit plain.

    Overall, not too bad, but unless you build in the normal level of sandbox, I can't really imagine this being a real game.

    Have you thought of either plasma pistols, spikers, od carbines? I think they would be rather interesting forms of the Star Wars "blasters" that could be used. Tinker with the weapons set a bit. Maybe a couple power weapons, but nothing too fancy. Adds a bit of a challenge if there's a Banshee or Hornet flying at you and all you have is a Plasma Pistol to stop it. Especially if there is a one-flag variant.

    The star destroyer is not huge but still looks really cool even though I'm not really a fan of Star Wars. Anyways, I do have Critism. The attackers base, truthfully sucks. This reminds me of a time on avalanche when I built a really cool ship first and then built the other one and it sucked. For sure make the scorpion take never respawn and perhaps just put a whole stone wall faceing the defenders. Other than that gameplay would look fun and I give a 4/5.

    Simple and clean, very nice. It sucks you can't make the ship any larger though, or add other ships. The gameplay is decent but I do like the ship. Keep up the good work.

    Thats preety nice. im a big starwars fan myself but the destroyer is longer if it stays in roportion with the width. so extend the length but make it wider it will look alot better
    great job though
