We've got a 16x16x16km cube of space. DSII is a minimum 800km in diameter. It won't fit. If they add it, it will be just like a planet. A screenshot on the side of endor and a station or ISD allowing you to land on it.

This is a good idea. To do it you would have to close off the entire Endor Sector to all but Imperials. This would be good cause say a rebel or neutral pilot just casually fly in the sector they would be destroyed (rebel) or searched and possibly seized/ destroyed (neutral).Thus keeping the Death Star a secret.

If they add the under construction DS (and I think they should), it would be nice to also load up the Imp presence in this sector. Any rebel aligned pilot should be jumped by an TIE patrol as soon as they enter the system, meaning it should be instant death for tiers 1-3 and a challenge for tiers 4 and 5. This means updating some of the space missions, which currently sends rebels to Endor to check out rumors of Imp activity, but a cool addition to the game.

Even if you only see the DS frame as part of the planetary background. It would be cool way to indicate where in the timeline the game is (how far along the contruction is).

Eventually, I'd like to see the RotJ attack on the DS a regular event in a special PvP zone, with plenty of NPC back up for both sides. Before you say, "The DS can only be destroyed (or saved) once", how many times has Darth Vadar given his one star fighter away in the last month and a half.

It's a game first and a SW timeline second.

Other additions to the space game should be:

• Alderan graveyard - Some one mentioned this in another thread. Basically an area full of floating debris.


• Death Star scrap yard - If they do expand space, why not add a section of concentrated floating debris from the original Death Star?


• Occassional Star Destroyer spawns in Imp controled space - We see them from the ground on Tattoine and Naboo (and others), why not in space too? Just have them occassionally pass through the system. At the very least, add them to the background images as they orbit the planets.

Long page which looks at all the evidence about both Death Stars size

Summary

The presently-available evidence indicates that the diameter of the first Death Star is in the range 160 - 165km, although the purely canonical evidence cannot strictly rule out a smaller figure close to the commonly published 120km value. The diameter of the Death Star II is in the range 800km - 960km. Thus the roleplaying game estimate for the size of the first Death Star is not far from the truth but the second battle station has been grossly underestimated. The last published size of the Death Star II, 900km, is acceptibly realistic.

Odd this link says its 160km in diameter.

Can't argue with that link
