I love the idea. I really like the Storm trooper Transport, and I'd love a map where they are used for boarding. I think it'd be a better idea to pull a Judicator, though, and start off with the transports stationary, already having docked and cut their way into the freighter. I'd love a map with flyable Stormtrooper Transports, but I don't think this one should be it.
Don't care about the details, just make the damned map. It doesn't contradict anything, so it's fair game. The Empire boards ships, this freighter was one of them, it's boarded. Easy enough.
Oh, and both the Stormtrooper Transport and Assault Transport are used for boarding operations. I don't see why they'd need the heavier Assault Transport for an unarmed target, so I'd take the Stormtrooper Transport any day.
Sounds like a reverse Judicator.....
Yup. It'll be great.
I always wondered how a tiny correlian corvette could possibly hold the number of troops needed to assualt a ISD
If you read the introduction after the loading screen, it said quite clearly that it was an out-of-supplies ship with a skeleton crew. In the battle depicted in GC Tanaab, it arrives for re-supply at the Tanaab station, but is driven off by a Rebel attack, runs out of power in deep space, and is boarded by the Alliance.
Not to mention that the corvette may not have been the first ship to board the Star Destroyer.
, especially seeing as the situation painted makes it more likely it was the corrleian ship being boarded instead of the ISD.
This is why the developers eventually had to put the map instructions into the loading screens of the maps: No one ever bothered to read the briefings.
If you have played SWBF 2, then you'll know that yes, they did care for their fellow troops
Never use the Battlefront or Rogue Squadron series as a source for anything Star Wars.
called the Imperial Lander or The Imperial Sentinal-class shuttle transport
Or the Sentinel Class Imperial Landing Craft. "Shuttle Transport" is contradictory and makes it sound like a transport that carries shuttles.
Either way, it should not be used in this map. It's for planetary assaults, not for boarding space ships.
