I really like the turret idea. As far as obj ideas, I don't know if it would be practical, but I haven't seen any sort of "escort" objs for siege maps before. Would it be possible to have an npc go along a route and respawn at the beginning if the die? It could be like a reborn boss or something that has a special lightsaber to cut through a wall or door so you have to get him to the place alive. I have no clue if it would work or be fun, but I just noticed nobody had really done that before (unless you count atst or codes, but you actually control their movement so I don't think it counts).

Also I was mainly kidding bout teh stormtroopers, but it wouldn't be terrible to have now that I think about it. Perhaps instead of hacking a turret, a jan hacks a "reenforcement point," and then storm troopers periodically teleport in to help defend.

That could be an interesting objective.

You must escort some person who has a particular skill to an area to perform said skill.

Sounds cool, tbh....but I already see the dude getting spammed.

That's a fantastic idea Lorax xD

But npcs are kinda glitchy so you'd have to make sure the path was smooth.

Some of the ideas are either way beyond my skills or would require ton of work (and probably wouldn't be base compatible) but I do like them and will try to incorporate them to some degree. (Entering a tie for shield/ammo cracked me up though tbh. )

Hey, if you can't do something, you can't do it. I think I speak for all of us - we don't expect miracles. Your stuff's been great, and I'm pretty sure this will be, too.

Nice how many maps you just keep making , hope to play it with you guys in a pug.

Top post updated with a new pic. Temporary lighting, sorry it's so dark. This new section is kinda like the H3H circular room, but a totally different layout and therefore nothing like it at all. Hmm. But anyway, defense will get a tie to fly around and shoot stuffs in this area (like the O's AT-ST... expert pilot training required). Still not really sure what DEMP does to flying vehicles, if anything.

Wow dude, you are a real inspiration with your work. I can't wait to see this map!

To see an example of botrouting and how bot animation may work you can take a look at this map.
You will need both the pk3 and the source files to load it in radiant.

Thanks dudes, for all the encouragement. Botrouting is different than NPC waypoints but I should check out Atlantica... that's a good call. Thanks 'fro. My only fear is that NPCs tend to lag up a map, but I'll play around with it.
