Okay I am looking for idea on which form of craft should I use to make the Republic Gunship (LAAT/i) from SW2...
Should I go with the Small Craft, Aerodyne DS, or a VTOL for this?
Also I know it has 3 anti-infantry lasers, 2 missiles launchers, 8 air to air rockets (not sure how this one be done via AT2) and a cargo hold that can hold a platoon of infantry.
So which do you folks think would be the best vessels or craft for this?

Sounds like a small craft to me, a VTOL is going to be too light.

it would have to be a V/STOL capable craft.
and you forgot that it carried 4 swoops also.
then on top of that, you need a vehicle carrier variant.
so keep your options open.

oh.... i just checked the info on the LAAT.....
http://www.starwars.com/databank/vehicle/republicgunship/index.html
"Weapon:
3 anti-personnel laser turrets, 4 composite-beam laser turrets, 8 light air-to-air rockets, 2 mass-driver missile launchers"
"The two primary armaments are mass-driver cannons capable of propelling projectiles to hypersonic velocities. Once airborne, a rocket's internal guidance systems take over, allowing it to home in on designated targets."
the rockets are fired from the mass drivers... and there are 4 turrets: 1 on each side, 1 on each wing.
just thought you should know.

i'd say that it atleast has to have a vehicle bay.... prefreably a 100ton bay, but a 50t is ok.
ie: it drops off the walkers and stuff.

Right, but I am not sure about the AT-TE...I mean it's a sixed walking APC...not sure how to do that one...
I will play around with the LAAT and see what I can come up with for the cargo version....
How close do you think I came with my version compared to the original?

well, your 2 missile systems over, and 2 lasers under.
plus your nose guns should be the same as your rear gun.
i like the thunders, but i think your door gunner like lasers should be straight lasers and not pulses. remember that there are also 2 wing mounted laser exactly like the door lasers.
other then that, i like.

Thought about that, but I wasn't sure how to do the two door mounts...so I went with the wing mounts instead...

Side mounted. For Aero type that would be wing mounted since you cannot have side mount as you would for Spheriod?
