Topic: Stormtrooper transport

http://www.galacticempiredatabank.com/StormTTrans1.jpg

The Stormtrooper transport seems to fulfil the same role as the lambda shuttle- In fact this is the craft i would have imagined filling the 'heavily armoured assault transport' role.

It should be quite simplistic to code (compared to lambda) as it has no moving parts or ramps and thus comparatively easy to fly and land too!

This is the ship I would have imagined flying down the ryloth mine valleys and slamming into the dirt for a rough landing.

The background suggests it has more of a ship to ship boarding role but it seems to me it might make for a lethal flying apc in groundmaps too.

Re: Stormtrooper transport

What game is that model from? Air Transport are a good idea and add another tactical option to maps. The only problem is someone has to make these models.

If you have any experience with modeling give it a try,if not, it's a good suggestion anyways.

Re: Stormtrooper transport

Only modeling with clay and plasticine tongue

The pic is from Xwing-Alliance i believe, but the ship has featured in every X-wing game since , well... X-wing!

Re: Stormtrooper transport

I like it, certainly would be easier than the lambda.

Re: Stormtrooper transport

That ship was used several times as a ground transport ship in the x-pack Mysteries of the Sith.  Yeah that would fit in nicely on Ryloth.

Re: Stormtrooper transport

I more envisioned it as a BH equivalent. It is about the same size.
