Thread: Add lambda shuttle to flyable imperial craft when ace
Ah yes, the lambda class shuttle. A real starwars item any imperial pilot should have. These things make it feel even more starwarsie. Devs, we know you can program these baby's they are already in the game, just make em a interior and release them to the public.
Colonel Orit Ketleel.
Also request that Lambda shuttle schematics are made publicily available to Shipwrights
Make these Shipwright craftable....
Imperials : New POB Lambda Shuttle
Freelance: New POB YT-2400
Rebels: Modified Galloway Transport POB (the cigar shaped transports from Hoth, but give them 2 turrets to make it worthwhile) ( http://frankg.dgne.com/swsv/other/index.html
Rebels: Give these folks the E-Wing Fighter as well. I know it's EU but come'on we've already gone way outside of continuity at this point. If you want argue that "it's not right with our timeline" neither is the AWing or BWing... I say let em have this one. ( http://frankg.dgne.com/swsv/other/index.html

Imps,

Freelance,
10
Rebel,
6?
However accurate or innaccurate your numbers are, you can go ahead and lump the start ship, Tie fighter, Tie/Ln, and maybe even the T/I as counting for only 1 ship. Each is a superset of the other, and once you get to teir 4, excepting maybe the T/i, you'll never use them again.
Rebel ships however, never lose their worth or viablity.
from the pure number of ships the three space profession have, it looks of cause a little bit "strange" if Imp's ask for one more, but i would like to havea lambda shuttle too. when you are Imp pilot and if you want to do space mining solo you do have a problem if you want to fly around with a mining laser and a tractor beam,and if you do not want to use the not realy good working Y-8 mining ship.
beside the RotW quest reward ships that support two weapons, there is not realy a ship on the imp side that supports two weapons. that is the point where a lets say tier 3Lambda would be realy usefull,if it would be designed clever, 1 front weapon mount for a beam weapon, 1 front mining laser only, 1 front tractor beam only ,1 rear multiplayer turrent. if a shuttle would be like that, it would not be an overpowered new ship, but it would be a realy usefull new ship.
