all i can say is wow

[Peacemaker]

Ouch look at that nice purdy nose gun.

/me drools

For the love of god let it be roatating 20mm

[UncleDynamite]

:eek:

Those our nice pics, Rbstr! Where did you find them? Man, I'd give a kidney to have that in-game.

[EarlyDawn]

Just in case these are unclear, the designer was aiming for a littlebird style troop transport.

[Rbstr]

i found them on planetsideimages.com looking for an old pic of my desktop.

there are also some renders of a Reaver 2.0 that looks almost the same but with 4 rocketpods insead of a pasenger area.

i'm trying to find the airdell thread so you can see what i mean

The models were created by xx7xx. Here is his original thread from just a few weeks ago:

I just use a Liberator

[xx7xx]

Hi Hayoo. Yeah, I modeled those. Nose gun is a 25mm 5 barrel rotary cannon. If you look at the scale of the door miniguns, you'll see that the bird is actually pretty good sized, since those miniguns are .30 cal. Everything is to scale, so the bore of the nose gun for instance is actually 25mm. There is plenty of room in the troop area for 4 Rexo guys. Those plus 1 in the cockpit gives you your air assault transport.

[Batousai]

I would like to see this in the game. They say it can carry 6 troops. It would be like a deliverer in the sky. The GALAXY is the flying bus (i.e SUNDERER) and this new plane could be the opposite of the deliverer. Would the name of it be the "HORNET" :D

P.S. if dont the like the name just say it, dont flame me about, im not a DEV or admin just a player adding my 2 cents. :cool:

[SilverLord]

Wow, that is nice artwork. I want that in game so bad now. I also really want 2 man fighter aircraft.

[NoX]

i would likw too se in ps a jet too and not only this helicopters planes (dont know how to call it).

[Biohazzard56]

That would make the best vehicle

[Vis Armata]

My problem with this transport is that it totally removes any incentive to use the Galaxy. At least the Sunderer has heavy armor and 75mm guns to differentiate itself from the Deliverer. This transport concept looks nice, but its differences from the Galaxy aren't enough to force a tactical choice between the two.

Just my 1000 lira.

[Lonehunter]

One word

NO

[Fenrys]

Let it carry 8+ MAX's and you've got a winner. We need a MAX transport more than any other type.

[Rbstr]

I don't think it would take away the gal as it would not be able to carry maxes, or a vech.

The gal isnt used, and will never be unless they do somethign with the hart. And gals are to combersome to use all of the time, this thing could be taken down fast by AA maxes. It also can give the gunship role becsaue of its increased armerments and it has a bit of speed (the gal was once going to be able to be a gunship with its 75mm cannons but they got rid of those)

Lonehunter, why don't you ever give reasons when you say no?

[Dharkbayne]

A. Give the gal a way to get rid of AA, heat thingies or something.

II. Nerf HART to 15-30 minutes.

D. That thing looks fuxing awesome.

[Visor]

NO leave it as it is the troop transport is going to be light and powerfull like those balck hawk helies where infantry shoots out of the clear space.

[GreyFlcn]

How about this UBER troop transport idea.

[EarlyDawn]

...

[Colonel Nikolai]

I'd like to see a faster air transport myself. Currently we just have the Gal, which carries so many men but does it so slowly that it almost seems less efficient than just walking. This new craft would have to be fairly vulnerable, say slightly more than a reaver, in order to remain balanced. I don't want to see a thousand of these playing elevator during a base seige with no way to shoot them down.

[GreyFlcn]

Did I mention the 'SkyHawk' has plenty of guns, and travels 10kph faster than a Galaxy

[Dharkbayne]

That's the liberator. You douche. :doh:

[Onizuka-GTO]

:lol: its a a sibling of a Liberator but has a different Father, it has two front mounted weapons instead of the 35mm see? :)

[Dharkbayne]

It's a concept version.

[Rbstr]

yeah thatsa a riped concept version of teh lib.

I realy feel this moded reaver as it is would add a bit more to the game, transporting 4 guys, and having 3 guns with gunners to supress things while they are droping is cool.

It coudl also be used in the gunship role the tha gal was suposed to have, but didn't get becsaue of the missin 75mm guns.

We need to ask Spork about that on Ask the devs

[babagunoush]

I think this is a great idea, but you would have to do something to make the Gal a better and more desirable vehicle to use because if this new ship is made everyone would want to use it, and it only..

[a pink punk]

what did you use to make those? what did you modle them with?
