I thought the Falcon would be working and that we just needed to give a drive effect and get rid of those black metal thing under it (Grnn, can't find the fitting word^^)

I never thought about the multiple capital ship problem with transports... saying multiple capial ships, will there be two gray wingless mon cal cruisers or 1 winged and one unwinged?

Wouldnt a correllian YT-1300 freighter be ok for a rebel transport? It could have a forward firing laser cannon carry the same number of troops as the Lambda, have less armour than the Lambda, but be as fast as a ywing. too make it looks different to the falcon it wouldnt have the protuding bit between the two prong things at the front and it wouldnt have the two barrel shaped escape pods on the sides either.

Why can't one of their favorite ships - the YT-1300 - be a staple in Rebellion space battles? To make these ships more distinguishable from the Falcon, the standard YT-1300 could have the cockpit located on the port (left) side, rather than the right side (and of course, it would a different skin). Also, the standard YT-1300 could have less features than the Millenium Falcon."

ok, lets recap here....anyone who knows the falcon, and its owner, Han Solo, knows that the millenium falcon was heavily illegally modified...the "standard" yt-1300 has no quad guns, no shields, no big sensor dish....the "standard" yt-1300, was a CARGO FREIGHTER.

According to Wookiepedia (which I gave a link to in my previous post), the YT-1300 had TWO primary configurations: cargo, AND passenger (also, the laser cannon actually was a standard feature

). As I stated, it is a FACT that the Rebellion used the YT-1300s as cargo ships, so there is no reason why they could not also use them for transporting passengers. At any rate, they're better than any of the other options as far as I can tell.

-Death to the chainguns and particle cannons!

Thank you xwingguy!!:D I don't know where LA/Pandemic came up with those weapons. They are very un-Star Wars like.

I think that's a YT-1300 with the central cockpit configuration

Off-Topic: Lets relax, enough with the YT-1300. This thread is getting to be like the one in the LA forums. getting spammed. Xwingguy doesnt post there much anymore to this thread at LA because it is spammed with annoying remarks. Please dont start that here.

YT series ship, yes, falcon config no
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/YT-2000

check it out, anyway
i'm satisfied with xwingguy removing those particle/chainguns those things are ugly!
but, when someone might make a deathstar superlaser, take an imperial particle gun, cut it in half and intensify it's damage, but slow it's speed, and voila, you have a deathstar superlaser.
maybe xwingguy could put one in the background, and have it to fire on corvettes in like every 5 minutes, but only corvettes, as cap ships are too valuable and the rebels would then be owned.
and i have no idea why someone would put a particle cannon in this game at all.

off-topic: Wow that YT-2000 looks good i wouldnt mind that as the reble shuttle, although it can only carry 4 people...

To the post above: I have no idea why lucasarts would do that... if they lacked time then using the laser shots for everything would be better than inventing many other shot types that never appeared in any star wars film.

They also messed up the clone units, why have so many different types of clone armour for the 501st? i think they were going to put the correct set of clones on each planet but ran out of time an put wrong armour on the 501st instead.

I also think the blasters are utterly wrong the should fire much slower, be much less accurate but kill in 1 or 2 shots.

On topic: i looked on Xwingguys photo page and there is a new image i think it is an image of a floor for the corridors as they didnt have on before it looks good anyway...

here is a link to xwingguys photos if anyone doesnt have it bookmarked already:

PS: i am not stealing Xwingguys project or something by posting a link to his photos as i think he gave a link himself in the LA thread though im not sure.

Any of those cargo freighters work for me (YT series) as long as they aren't the same as the Falcon. Remember though, I don't have any XSI skills.

K-wing, even if it wasn't EU, I don't think that it would work because it's really wide and would probably have trouble landing in hangars. (In fact, I think this is why it got dropped by Pandemic.)

LucasArts Forums are a mess, although I will post a release link there when it comes.

Good news, some of the hallways from the Tantive still work. I like to use them more because they are a lot more flexible than Kamino's hallways.

Darsol · Post by **Darsol** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 6:12 pm

Just a question, but would it be possible to have a different transport for each Cap ship.
For example, 1 ship has a YT-1300 and the other has a YT-2000? It could be a good way to show how deverse the rebel fleet was.

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 6:42 pm

Good idea Darsol, and welcome to Gametoast!:D

ok, well after having a look at the yt-2000, i think that should be the one, if people can/have modeled it. as much as it still resembles the falcon, and even though it is stated even in the wiki article as being a civilian transport, i see no reason for it not to work.
