Basically the reasons for airspeeders on ground maps are...
A: Lore
B: Variety
V-Wings can be transported to other systems via V-Wing transports that are stored in capital ships.
T-47s (snowspeeders...for all you "normal" people) can be transported via Gallofrees.
T-16 Skyhoppers are civillian. They are usually everywhere, because they are a usual personal transport and can be used on many worlds.

Lore could go both ways. Variety means more work for the devs and longer waits for patches. And for what? A ship that does the same thing as the other ships we already have, only it can be used on ground combined arms maps exclusively.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

Different weapons and abilities. The V-Wing had a scramjet, that let it reach ridiculous speeds.
Snowspeeders are just obvious...
T-16s are...well...T-16s. (lol?)

Curses, foiled again!

Which are to destroy other ships... Which the current ones already do.

Snowspeeders will come with Hoth

T-16s eventually.

V-Wing, I doubt it will ever be made.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

The V-Wing is cool...lol...the reason i made this, is because the overall attention is payed to all the starfighters, and hardly ever all of the really cool airspeeders that populate the Star Wars Universe.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

The T-16 has a passenger position lore-wise (I think), so I imagine it could be useful early on as a fast flag capturing transport. Carry passenger to flag, drop him off, have him capture flag, fly off to pick up someone else or go hunt infantry or fighters.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

with a combined map all vehicle's should interact with each other. there should not be separate battles going on, one in the air and one on the ground. The air speeders i think would do a better job of this.
