What's happened to the starfield?

By mazz0, in X-Wing

Back "in development" and the Expected 2013 has gone! Anyone heard anything about it?

i know it caught a lot of flack on the forums when announced. maybe they are reworking the idea. or play testing on it didn't go well. ship bases tilted on the parts where the pieces connect or something to that nature. personally i thought alderan was a bad idea for the tile image. Death star II/endor would fit the game better.

Well it certainly didn't look ideal - not especially resiliant material, smooth so the ships would slide about, but there's nothing out there that looks Star Warsy enough for me. Everything's covered in big colourful nebula (fine for Star Trek, but not Star Wars) or several planets all way too close to each other (fine for... well, nothing?). Any suggestions?
