Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

Cool.  Sorry for making you type that out, I was in a rush and didn't have time to properly read the article.

In that case, I'm all for it.

Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

No problem, I just want to make sure everyone understands why I want them so much.  I think that the Sentinel class shuttle might have the firepower that the Escort Shuttle has, but I think a little variety is always nice.  It probably won't be a first release ship, but hey, I just want to see it in-game so I can wait.

Yes, the Sentinel does have about the same firepower, but the Sentinel is a Landing Ship, not a boarding craft.

I've been looking for refrence as well, and can't really find any except in x-wing/tie-fighter. I'm also unsure as to when they went into production. I know the lambda shuttle is good for ep 3-6, being a product of the empire. oddly enough, I've found alot of Sentinel shuttle reference, and  I've only seen them in the starwars-redux-with-the-shiny-new-scenes-and-annorexic-jabba. also I'm not sure if the wings fold in this model, as its not really a merchant option,being partially an attack craft, and the Lambda and sentinel were designed to *just* squeeze into their type of bay. still ya never know

Is this vehicle, not used in Episode III as the predessor (I think this is the word) of the Imperial Shuttle or not?

Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

there might be a vehicle similar to it in episdoe III, but I doubt it was an Escort Shuttle.  As far as I know, the Escort Shuttle first appeared in the game X-Wing or TIE Fighter, can't remember which one tho.

Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

Those are awesome.  If the shuttle makes the game, which I reckon it will, thoes'll really help the modelers.
