Hey, there was an awesome map in the SC2 beta that had a space based view with planets. You could zoom in on any planet and each one had its own unique battlefield map. The space map had starships to fight with, orbiting defense satellites, all sorts of cool stuff.
You could even build ground based defenses on the planet surface that would attack ships in space that were assaulting the planet!
This was the most impressive and fun map I remember from beta but I haven't seen it on b.net since then. Anyone remember the name?
Well what they did was zoom in your view to pretend you went to the planet, and then changed your view to a different part of the map where there was actual terrain. I would assume there was one large map with a "space" area, and eight or ten "planet surfaces". Through creative use of restricting the minimap bounds and scrollable bounds the creator was able to achieve the effect.

Are you sure your not talking about the Warcraft 3 map Solar Conquest? It sounds exactly like it and Solar uses many Starcraft models.

Wow haha, yeah that is it I think.. I am surprised I confused it with SC2. Thanks!
