Topic: Suggestion: Imperial Assault Gunboat

One vehicle I always wanted to see in GC was the Imperial Assault Gunboat.  Its a great fighter/bomber type craft, it carries lots of missiles and it's very well armed with two ion cannons, two laser cannons, and two concussion missile launchers.  I'm sure that the concussion missiles can be swapped for proton torps or heavy rockets as well.  Sure would love to see it in-game.

Re: Suggestion: Imperial Assault Gunboat

That looks pretty cool.  Is that off of a StarWars movie or game?
It looks familier but I cant seem to remember where I first saw that.

Yup Slow, steady, but with a missive cache of missiles. A decent answer to the y wing, with its ion cannons and lasers. Mmm. ions /homerdrool

Yeah great model, but we won't be using that in any of the official maps. Perhaps in a custom map.

Re: Suggestion: Imperial Assault Gunboat

Granted it wouldn't be in any offical movie battles since it never made an appearance in the movies.  I first found this one in X-Wing I think, as I recall you had to destroy a ton of these babys on one of the X-Wing missions.  I also liked flying it in Tie Fighter as well.  I think it could make a great addition to custom maps, maybe its cousin the Assault Missile Boat as well.
