Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

Yeah, It took those shots using a model viewer for models created by fans of X-Wing Alliance.  They have this huge project going on to update the game with amazing new graphics.  All of the models that are user created look pretty sweet.  I have 3-Dimensional access to virtually every model in the star wars universe.  The depth and amount of content they have is staggering.  By the way, I forgot to post these two pics:

Did I mention that I really want to see this model in-game.  I'm attempting to model it right now, but I don't know what the inside should look like, or wear exactly the boarding ramp would be located.  Any ideas?

Wow.  All the models.  Awesome.

As for the ramp:

You can see the yellow and black warning symbol there, so it's a good bet that that's the ramp.  It also fits in with the Lambda design, which had the ramp under the "chin".

Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

ahhh, now that you point it out, it is clear to see. Thanks.  It should be rather similar to the lambda because all it is is a heavily modified lambda class.

BTW, what do you think those four thingies are on the bottom, landing gear maybe?  It doesn't look like the wings fold on this class, I wonder how it lands?

I only wish this were my model, but alas, it is not.  I just started mine and it needs lots of work.  I did send the guy who made this one an email asking for permission to use this model.  That would be nice, then all I would have to do would be making the inside.  Hmmm, maybe I could even get him to skin the inside...

Of course I would give him full credit because look at the fantastic job he has done on this badboy...phew...

Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

which transport shuttle was in Episode III, where Emperor Palpatine move the almost death body of Anakin to give him his Darth Vader suit?

I think you're correct, they look like landing gear. And since the wings don't fold, I think this would probably land like a helicopter?

I'm not sure.  I'll try to snag a copy of III tonight so I can watch for myself.  I don't remember that ship very well off the top of my head, but my guess is that is was some type of an early prototype/predecessor to the lambda class.  I highly doubt it was an escort shuttle as the ES is just a modified version of the lambda class

Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

Ok, it's been a LONG time so if anyone can remember, good. There was a game for the Nintendo Game Cube for Episode.... I (sorry, had to think). And in the latter half of the game there was the predesesor of the Star Destroyer and it landed on the planet and in the game, it looked no bigger than about a few Sentinels (well that IS small considering how big the Star Destroyers turned out). If anyone can think of the name to this, please post!
