FILESIZE: 1.7 MB
DATE RELEASED: 24 August 2005

CREDITS: The creators of the asteroids mod for expanding on a somehow forgotten aspect of JKA.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Stick ctf_fighterbays.pk3 in your /Gamedata/base folder. As well, be sure to download the asteroids mod (http://pcgamemods.com/4533/) and install it. It's a small download (16.96 MB) and very, very worth it. The map will work without the mod but the cool ships (Vader's tie, tie interceptor) will be missing. An alternative to the asteroids mod is the OJP mod, which now incorporates asteroids code. This is probably a much better way to run a dedicated server, since OJP rocks and is well supported. However, you'll need the vehicles used by this map (tie-interceptor, tie-advanced) in addition to OJP. I think you can just copy them from the asteroids folder.

DESCRIPTION: JKA has vehicles. Vehicles rock. Flying vehicles rock a lot. Non-stop flying gets a bit boring, so mixing it with some ground combat is good too. This is a simple CTF map consisting of two bays filled with fighters, on the opposite sides of a Star Destroyer hangar. It should fulfill both the need for ship to ship and saber/gun combat.

BUGS: If you try to fly out into space near the walls, you might hit the skybox. Err, I mean get shot down by Imperial turbolasers for retreating in the field of battle. Yeah, that's it.

COMMENTS: It was a pretty fun project that taught me quite a bit about making a proper, releasable level. (This is the first map I'm releasing.) With this done, I'm ready to try something a bit more interesting... So who knows. Maybe in a month or so it'll be worth playing Asteroids again :)
