 Posted: 18-Jan-2007 09:27 Post subject: GZT needs a drop ship |
  |
|
The Leopold, an ancient( by ancient, I mean I think it was built by cave men) Leopard class dropship has been lost. I am in need of a new dropship. One that can hold 6 mechs, instead of the standard four lance, and two aerospace fighters for support. Does one exist in canon?I have been looking but have not found one yet.

You could run a Union configured that way, with extra space as either a cargo bay or mech repair facility.

True, but was looking for an aerodyne desig, fast, well armed and armored. Needs to be able to "Fly under the radar".Get in and get out kinda thing. Would work best for the kind of "work" that the Stonkin Mechs unit performs. If there is not one, perhaps GZT could commision a new design for our use. Any interested designers?

I just put one up in the Design section under the name of "Dread Pirate". Let me know what you think.

I never fly under the radar... it... reduces the fear element my unit's reputation brings with it heh.
And besides, I like to hover my dropship and hot drop that way. Its fun.

I can understand that, with a unit such as yours. My guys, well, not that they are not fierce warriors, but the mission profile is a bit different I think. Needing to get in past Word of Blake units, retrieve data and a prototype mech, as well as recovering four additional battlemechs would need a lot of stealth and/or fancy piloting. On behalf of the dropship pilot as well as the mech pilots. I can appreciate a good smash and grab as the next person, but if I can get away with it without as much or no smash, so much the better.

When I built the Cardstock Leopard, I kept the master files. I could always modify them to be a 6-mech carrier. (I run my stars in sixes, so I have the same issue)
