-Tanaab Objectives (In the labs) are easier to destroy if you can get in.

-Hoth flag capture values changed. The Rebels can hold their flags steady by defending only 

Echo and the Trench. The Empire needs one of the forward bases, plus the trench to cause 

ticket drain on the rebels. The Empire can cause ticket loss by owning only Echo base, as 

well. The Rebels must control the Trench, Echo, and one other base to cause the Empire to 

loose tickets.

-ATST-V added to the game. This is a version of the ATST on Dantooine that packs a rocket in 

place of the grenade. 

-If your team holds Jabba's palace, and the sail barge is not being crewed by enemy forces, 

you now have a 1 in 4 change of spawning directly into the Sail barge when choosing to spawn 

at Jabba's. Regardless of where the Sail Barge is on the map.

them while the craft is moving. 

-Tie Fighter Exit point moved to fix exploit.

-Speeder Bike now fires from only one location (centered). 

-Imperial Landing craft no longer leans to the left. Fixed sound issues. 

-Capital ships should no longer have the SPIN grief bug. They now only turn with forward 

momentum, which means the faster you go forward the better they turn. If you come to a stop, 

be aware you need time to build up speed to turn again. This should make battles more 

interesting. Also, you can no longer maneuver outside the top grid. The flaps won't react 

that high.

-Sail Barge deck gun no longer has splash, so you don't fry the deck crew while using it. 

-Sail Barge crew members now all uncrew below deck, safe from dyeing while the SB is in 

motion. The pilot still is above deck.

stop using reverse.. hey, we've made a few special modifications. The seat texture is also 

back.

for rebel. 

-Hoth rebels now have warm ears again. (Hats won't change teams with packs now).

-Heavy Infantry packs added to Echo base (back rooms) and to Dantooine,
(in the two imperial outpost bases, once you capture them.) They will spawn
based on the team that is holding the flag. TL-21 or Tracker 16.

-DeathStar updated: TL positions, health of objective, difficulty. 

-Loaders added for Anchorhead and Lok. Still WIP, may add more later.

a bit to much.
