Empire Specific Air

[SandTrout]

I know, I know, this has been discussed a thousand times, but I just wanted to throw out my ideas. I think the Empire specific Air should be a new class of air power, the Gunship

VS Swarmer: this large ship is capable of launching up to 4-6 Flux Podds. These small(half-mosquitoe) sized pods are not spawned directly from vehicle pads, but are launched from a larger mothership that can be spawned at a DSC air pad or sanctuary air pad. This is because they have a limited life-span away from the mother-ship( 1-2 minutes). These craft are capable of moveing any direction equaly at near mosquiote speed(strafe at 100 kph if you dare). They also have a single Magazine of flux cannon shots that can be reloaded when connected to the mothership. These pods cannot land on the ground, but can dock with a landed mothership. They can only undock while the mothership is not landed. Their menuverability comes with a cost. They feature only very light armor(400ish). Once a pod is lost, it cannot be replaced on the mothership, a new mothership will have to be spawned.

NC Levithian: this large airship carries 2-4 side mounted Heavy rocket launchers(think somewhere between phoenix and firebird) and a rear mounted tail gunner manning a 20mm machine gun. this is mainly for AV suppression and base pounding.

TR Ravager: This bird features a set of 6-8 cannons that fire 23mm High explosive amunition. Turrets are placed with 2 on the front, 2-4 on the side, and 2 on the rear for maxium gun covorage. This ammuntion is primaraly effective against infantry, but has proven itself against ground vehicles and air.
