Yup, the Lambda is more of a ferry/courier/officer transport than a combat vehicle, really. It's the larger Sentinel class (better known as the Imperial Landing Craft) that is the military/battlefield version. I'd actually be very interested in the parked Lambda on Mos Espa and the one on Ryloth being replaced by Sentinels at some point and the flyable Lambda ending up in a setting where it's more suited.

Ive allways preferred the sentinel to the lambda, Id love to see it in game. I would imagine it would be easier to fly.
