Off-Topic: yeaaaaah the AT-ST is the non-cannon name that was adopted because it got so much use. Its not a scout or a transport; and RHY hit it dead on, its a mechanized infantry unit that supports troop movements.
Still I think FS does a nice job with the AT-ST because its insanely powerful already! Definately something you don't want to see if you're squad doesn't have 4 Rocket Launchers.
I can't wait for the more vehicles to show up in R2. (Guys you're modding maps you should already be able to see a couple vehicles like the ones you're talking about
look under vehicles and then land)
On Topic: Trying a highway tampa map would be hard with nearly no land vehicles in FS. Work on the terrain/buildings/spawns and hold it till we get some of those fancy hover tanks ^^.
