I was thinking like this,

Like this,

And finally, I was hoping for something along the lines of a well executed landing with troops disembarking, then clearing a point of hostiles. There's just something beautiful about a successful move like that. wink

Curses, foiled again!

That could be done really well on either of the landing platforms on bandomeer.

Or with the Imps attacking the rebel labs on Ryloth- bomber blitzing the bases outer defenders, shuttle lands and troops deploy to clear out the buildings.
Cinematically, we'd want to show a tank and some speeders getting caught in the bomb blasts.

Then the shuttle lands and the troops advance past both vehicles, which are now burning/smoking. (timing being key to get them burning but not exploding as the troops go by)

then the room clearing out scene.. hey wait. How come the rebels are always the fall guy in these videos?
Angel demands a video showcasing Rebel SpecForces tearing apart complacent Imperial stormtropers fresh from the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy.

Because the rebels usually don't have the shuttle. They do, however, have the shuttle in Bandomeer, unless its been changed in the ridiculous time period that's passed between now and the last time I played full-size Bandomeer.

...so, I figure the rebels could be the winners in this one, since I would love to see a shuttle landing on the Bandomeer landing pads. big_smile

I prefer the shuttle landing from the Jundland video. No idea why tongue

What, because it careens towards the sandcrawler and slams into the back, causing the entire thing to bounce? tongue

Knowing Twigs, the answer to that question is "Yes".

Re: Preview Video on Homepage

It doesn't slam in to the back. It's a high speed combat landing resulting in a perfect touch down on to a localised area, quickly settling down before Stormtroopers advance out.

It is the best example of such a landing and one I haven't yet seen in game. Half the time it takes an age for the pilot to touch down, then theres an observable gap before any troops disembark.

Plus I was flying it and I can still hear Samzi screaming as the thing sped towards the sandcrawler at full throttle plus boost and wings fully locked out. big_smile
