Re: Shuttles

Hey, i finally dug something up. I was reading about the sentinel shuttle in my book, and then it mentioned this:

"In response, the New Republic developed it's own Bantha-Class assault shuttle, which carried significantly more armor than the imperial craft.

I looked this thing up online, and here's what i got:

http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/3d/BanthaClassTroopCarrierAssaultShuttle.jpg

Here's the explanation off the wiki:

"The Bantha-class assault shuttle was a large craft intended primarily for planetary assault missions and commando raids. It was heavily armed, mounting a pair Golan Arms quad turbolasers, and was also equipped with heavy armor and shields. It was also equipped with a hyperdrive, allowing it to be used for long-range missions without the assistance of a capital ship.

The Bantha-class shuttle was operated from a raised command pod on the port side of the ship's dorsal hull, and troops were carried in a lower hull with three large forward hatches. Commandos often jumped from these hatched to ground level during rapid assaults. Two long booms of unspecified purpose extended forward of the main hull. On the ground, the shuttle was balanced on a single oversized landing gear."

Re: Shuttles

Just my educated guess here but I don't think we will ever see that thing in FS...

I mean seriously... It's out of like, a comic book? And that is 'New Republic' Era is it not? This is the GCW Era.

Re: Shuttles

TY...every time anyone brings up anything remotely removed from the GCW era, even if it fits into FS extremely well, you just kick it out because its from a slightly different time period. Even battlefront 2 wasnt that bad. At least they had GCW and CW eras, instead of keeping it centered around one, 3 year period. The new republic era is about 1 year or less after the battle of endor. It's VERY close by, and a lot of big events happened in that time. Now, about the shuttle itself. I know it looks insanely huge, but look next to it in the picture. There is a person standing by it, and from that you can get the relative size. Next, so what if its from a comic book? I'ma just throw this out here...

STAR WARS:

30% Movies
30% Games
40% Books

A ton of the star wars universe is depicted only in the books. We didn't see carrack cruisers in the movies now did we? How about those imperial cargo ships in the Taloraan map? Did we see those in the movies? In games for that matter? Nope. But they're still in there. The content of the mod doesnt have to be limited to just whats in this little period of time. We can at least push it a little further than the GCW...im not saying go a decade and go straight into the Yuzhan Vong War, im just saying go about a year or two to when the new republic started getting their cool stuff. -_-'

Re: Shuttles

Moot points...

I still stand with my hypothesis that it will not be in FS.

There is no need for that monster in FS anyhow.

Edit: It's bigger than an ATAT for gods sake... And it can fly. And it has giant guns? And it carries a bunch of troops? Ridiculously overpowered.
