joesdomain Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I was referring to the Imperial Lamdba Class Shuttle like the one that transports Vader and the emperor in. That has a hyperdrive, shields, carries supplies and troops, and has some weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they still have the imp shuttle i am going to shoot it down all the time with the x-wing imagin the points you would get for shooting down a fully loaded shuttle!

Virtuosis Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Isn't that the point of the game, to kill other people. Of course your going to shoot it down. haha. Don't expect it to be that easy. If they balance it properly it should put up a good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzer214 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 you can bet on one thing,you wont catch me in the shuttle. i will just stay on the ground and laugh every time i see it get shot down with about 5+ guys in it.lol but if the guys on the shuttle are on my team,i will laugh and swear at my teamates who were shot down for being so stupid and making our team lose so many points.

joesdomain Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Just makes sense to have the Imperial Lamdba Class Shuttle has a general starship on the official site because the rebels used a stolen one in ROTJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Yeah Joe, I would love to have a the Lambda Class Shuttle. I don't care what you guys say about it, sure it doesn't have the offensive capabilities of say a republic gunship. But its just as fast, and hopefully has some sort of shield. (if even in the game) I think it would be an effective way to get a squad of Stormtroopers from say point A to point B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan_sniper Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Right, well id say that was a good 28 posts on the imperial shuttle. Lets find something new to obsess over, shall we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revlt Coranier Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 The Cygnus Spaceworks Lambda-class Shuttle has two forward-mounted double laser cannons, two forward-mounted double blaster cannons, and one rear-mounted retractable double blaster cannon. It has a heavily reinforced hull and multiple shield generators. A formidable opponent, in my opinion. Cygnus Spaceworks also maked a more heavily-armed version of the Lambda-class shuttle that had ten laser cannons. Cygnus Spaceworks made the military versions of the Sienar Fleet Systems Lambda-class shuttle, which is a civilian cargo and passenger transport. This is very interesting, as Cygnus Spaceworks is the civilian branch of the Cygnus Star Empire Construction Division, formed after the Unification Wars of 3817. Why the civilian branch of a company would be subcontracted to make the armed military versions of a shuttle is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all very nice, but the fact is that the lambda class shuttle isn't seen in any new screenshot. How sure are you it's in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Interesting information. Yeah none of us are even sure that there will be one in the game. But just like the MAF we haven't seen any screenshots or videos of it but its supposed to be in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragnarr Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I made a thread about a preview with all air vehicles in it..... but it seems it was deleted...... why? Well here goes http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/853/Star-Wars-Battlefront-Air-Vehicles/p1 There is even a pic of MAF in it. If the devs have decided to remove it from the game...... Im gonna spank em! . Is there ANY reason to remove a fully done model. And as much as I want some difference between each faction I would rather have it by altering each flying vehicles turning, speed, firepower, health etc. instead of removing some bery obvious vehicles that had been seen in the movies many times. Give us the Lambda shuttle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why they didn't put in on the site Originally posted by Dragnarr Is there ANY reason to remove a fully done model. Balancing issues. You see a screenshot od it on Tatooine. Maybe it's to powerfull there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragnarr Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Well Balance is hardly any reason to remove a model. You can modify its stats, flightspeed, weapon power basically anything, so why remove the entire model? Secondly if its too powerful on that map, remove it from the map, not from the entire game, exactly what should've done with the imperial officer. So Imperial would then have 1 troop class more, who cares? No-ones gonna run around yelling imbalance if the IO is in line with other units, perhaps give him some aura effect to determine he's an officer. The auras wouldn't stack so there's no reason why there should be 10 IO running around with nothing but pistols. Devs, send me the info and I balance the game if you can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs, send me the info and I balance the game if you can't If you change a vehicle to much, it's different than it's suposed to be. Having a unit more isn't a bonus for a faction. It makes the army weaker. If you put in another guy, all units will ahve less capabilitys, making them weaker. But why give the Imperials one person more? Why not give them all one more like planned in the first place? That's something I don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep people interested, they will release them in patches or in a new expansion pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I think it is important to have the Lamdba Class Shuttle in the game because it is seen in the original trilogy being used both by vader and emperor on the empire side and the rebels. It would be nice to use it in Endor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 It would be basically the same as the republic gunship minus the really heavy firepower. It would be important to move troops across the maps without having to deal with other ground troopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewok Homie Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 The imperial ship would work quite well on the tatoonie city map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I figure Pandemic is going to put alot of background vehicles and starships that won't be playable by humans. The computer probably probably will control them. It would be cool to see the Imperial Lander on Tatoonie or Imperial Lamdba Class Shuttle on Bespin and Endor or Rebel Medium Transport on Hoth. Don't forget Millenium Falcon on Hoth and maybe Slave I on Bespin, Kamino, and Geonosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Millenium Falcon on Hoth and maybe Slave I on Bespin, Kamino, and Geonosis. You see a slave on one of the sreenshots of Kamino. And because it's landed in it's flying position, I guess it was flyable. But because the didn't put it in the airvehicle feature, I guess they tookm it out.

Dragnarr Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 ARrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Horrible! They took Slave 1 out??? Can't they see everyone would like to fly that thing . Hmmmmmm can we hope of seeing Jango or Boba Fett as a special NPC with the ship then, now that would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 It's doubtful you'd see any of the Fett's. The only confirmed special's are Dooku, Vader, Luke, and Windu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
