2 YT-1300s (8 seater)

(Sorry to bring up an older thread, but you referenced it in a thread so I had to post ^^)

YT series ships were actually transport ships, not intended for combat.  The Millenium Falcon and Outrider were specially modified, and were one-of-a-kinds.  You would never really see YT series ships in a battle, considering how much money and effort would have to be spent on every single ship to modify it to combat standards- it just doesn't make sense.

What I think is that you could give the Imps 4 Sentinel Transports and give the Rebels a single Corellian Corvette.  I think that could work well and keep it fairly balanced, depending on how strong ships like that end up being in the game.

I think it's oh so plausible that the Rebels may have had a freighter or two modified for combat.  Hell, it's very possible considering the peacemeal nature of their forces in the beginning.

And few things look cooler that the Falcon (or similar) doing a barrel roll. tongue

Re: Vergesso Asteroids

and the fighters/transports are spawned into.

I hope by "spawned into" you atleast mean inside the hanger of the capital ships. If there is a hanger present to take off from, it is always better to do it that way, rather than just spawning in space, unless it is some map like the DS where the rebels dont have a place to take off from (floating platform lol). It is just more immersive.

Re: Vergesso Asteroids

As was said, I see no problem with rebels using modified vessels. In reality, it's quite common for forces without proper weaponry to do so. Look at the Norwegians during World War II, fitting hidden machine guns to their fishing boats. Or the Japanese, outfitting sampans with antennae, radars, and listening equipment. Or the insurgency in the Middle East with their stereotypical pick-up trucks with machine guns. Or Koreans during the Imjin War, loading oxen with explosives, lighting the fuses, and driving them into the enemy's ranks. Or Icelanders ramming British warships with coastal patrol vessels during the Cod Wars - I could go on and on.

I'm not necessarily suggesting YT-1300 ships, but I'd love to see modified vessels - the more creativity the better.

lol yea

As for the transports I think we decided on the YT-2400 series transport , atleast where applicable. The YT1300 is just too iconic to see more than 1 flying about or respawning on a map. The Millenium Falcon will be a kind of "special ship" that would come into play at certain times,dependant on the map scenario. Atleast atm.

Sounds good to me.

Isn't the 2400 a more combat design than other models? I think the YT-2000 would do better, as it's more of a cargo craft.
