I've seen mods with both abilities so (even though they probably made their decision) what do you want the LAAT/i to have for its ability? Do you want it to transport like the juggernaut or deploy troops like the AT-AT? (sorry my poll isn't appering. Darn you recovery commander)

i want it to be 2 kinds one AT-TE transporter and one infantry transporter. Both whit almost same armourment. So you can choose if you will mostly transport troops or AT-TE. I would only built the vechile transport version

From what i know that is what the LAAT does ingame. They have the LAAT/i for troops and combat and the LAAT/c for transporting vehicles.
I think this was discussed once before but the LAAT is going to be used also to bring reinforcements to the battlefield.

Yeah, Greivous kinda misunderstod. Will they have beam turrets?

I'm sure they will, you can't have an LAAT/i without composite beams.

no that much misunderstood

Cool Revan. Any official word on the ability(s)?

I could ask, but that would spoil the surprise. I wanna play the game and be surprised by everything rather than start it knowing everything. Leave it to your imagination and your logic, do you think they would leave key features out on an LAAT/i? and if its meant for transport/combat I'm sure it'll allow you to drop troops from it like the AT-AT as well as have all its weapons.

that's a wise way of thinking about it, alpha. i think i'm done asking questions and will take info as it comes or until the mod is out.

and yeah, going in to specific detail on what the LAAT can or can't do will eventually ruin the fun of the game. as long as it'll do it's part as a transport, i'm satisfied. no transport may result in wookies having to carry everything.

hehe yoda could carry everything whit forces too only trandoshan thinks of using wookies to slave labor .... bad thinking You Enjoy

Well Yoda'd have too much on his mind (war, jedi, finding a girl who won't dump him after the first date)

Hehe nice point

LMAO nice yoda with a girl friend now that would be funny but hang on I thought the jedi weren't aloud to be in love
Of course the LAAT/i will be able to drop troops off its pritty obvious that will have that ablitiy isn't that the only reason they were built in the first place.

Yea lol, i think there was a thread about the LAAT a while back and alot of questions were answered, also guys try not to stray off topic.

When I play other CW mods I find they are so powerful (especially with elite trooper drop ability) and hated the when I was the CIS.

I have played a few of those clone wars mod including of course Z's mod 3.5(and still do play it), what I see in those mods a=is the LAAT\i overpowered by heps and sometimes underpowered, I don't complain CIS RULE!!! But it gets anoying when you build heps of them but they just die in seconds or they own a whole base.

they are pretty balanced in Rotc 4.0 i am currently playing a GC campaign whit the CIS and the LAAT is pretty balanced

yea i'm using return of the clones v.4, and I could pretty much dominate ground battles with 5-6 gunships. Te only way I could be stopped was if they had anti-air, which dominate gunships.

Also I couldn't use my gunships on Jabiim, stupid lack of repulsor lift vehichles on that planet.

I thought LAAT's also double as support gunships? That may have been brought up in this thread, or I missed that point.

Well they are support ships as well. Im sure they both work for attacking as well as troop deployment

Will the LAAT have a special attack?

I believe it uses all weapons at once (as close to a special attack as I can think of) and in SMG's mod the LAAT/i wasn't considered repulserlift so I quickly beat the empire campaign.

What was it then?

Well, I might as well clear up this debate now. The LAAT will NOT have any special abilities. Its just too damn overpowered. Its basically a flying tank. Now the good news is that one hit from a well placed missile well knock it out. However, it will be able to pick up and drop off troops as a transport. It will not deploy troops. However, we are added in the function so modders COULD add it in if they wanted. As for the weapons it has a 1 rear blaster, 2 twin blasters in the front turret, and of course it comes with 4 composite beam turrets 2 in the wings and 2 on the sides. Its a floating death machine. It also has two Air to Air rocket launchers that can be used to engage Aircraft. The CIS will be able to bring down Vulture Droids to run Anti-Air cover, however they will not be able to attack ground targets. So basically the LAAT can be neutralized, by a fighter screen.

woho that sounds really good

Sweet son of a man (Darman'da knows what to insert here _______) AA fighters without the ability to attack ground units. That just might be the most semi (sometimes the fighters had key roles) realistic thing added. Now the question is what will the new economy system be. (mainly guesses so it will be a suprise. Answer while uploading the mod to the sites)

Nipple.

Now, bac on topic, that is awesome zerox. Very canon. Can't wait to play it.

That sounds cool.
How would one call upon these vulture droids?
A conch shell?

But yea, that sounds awesome!

Are vulture droids used like an anti air bobing run?

No jedi are allowed to be in love...they just arent allowed to be put love in the way of duty or if one dies not show revenge. There are many love stories for jedis and many are peaceful and not involved with the dark side.

the jedi dont forbid to love. they even find it good but you shouldnt hinge to each other and forget the jedi ways^^

i bet someone here have listen very carefully to Anakin in Attack of the clones

In the All Era Mega Mod, we added the LAAT to space like I said before and the new ability is the Laat can board enemy crafts and take control of it and when you don't want the ship anymore, You hit the LAAT button and the LAAT unboards from craft also Self destructing the craft.

the way they used the LAAT in space for swbf2 realy messed up the real use of the ship. It was called Low Altitude Assault Transport for a reason. In reality it wouldn't have been able to protect it's passengers in a space battle.

SWBFII isn't considered canon due to the way the dev's messed up.

very, very, true

swbf2 everything was messed up and it wasnt pretty many stuffs that was canon

though LAAT stands for Low Altitude Assault Transport.
And was sent out from their motherships in space or kilometers up in the atmosphere

Yea, but not in the dead of space which SWBF2 illustrates in the game. No where near the planets orbit much less the atmosphere itself. Thus the game is not canon in that respect.

correct u said it better then me =P

I have seen the word "canon" many times about a game.Is it metaforic?What do you mean by that?

Canon is what is true in a given story. All the events and etc tied into the continuity, in this case Star Wars. Now this next part is taken from wiki, not star wars wiki, but it makes sense and true for star wars.

There are 5 levels of Canon in Star Wars: G-canon, T-canon, C-canon, S-canon, and N-canon. The Term Canon serves as a whole of these.

G-canon is absolute canon; the movies (their most recent release), the scripts, the novelizations of the movies, the radio plays, and any statements by George Lucas himself. G-canon overrides the lower levels of canon when there is a contradiction. Within G-canon, many fans follow an unofficial progression of canonicity where the movies are the highest canon, followed by the scripts, the novelizations, and then the radio plays.

T-canon refers to the canon level comprising only the two television shows: Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the Star Wars live-action TV series. Its precedence over C-Level canon was confirmed by Chee.

C-canon is primarily composed of elements from the Expanded Universe including books, comics, and games bearing the label of Star Wars. Games and RPG sourcebooks are a special case; the stories and general background information are themselves fully C-canon, but the other elements such as character/item statistics and gameplay are, with few exceptions, N-canon.

S-canon is secondary canon; the story itself is considered non-continuity, but the non-contradicting elements are still a canon part of the Star Wars universe. This includes things like the online roleplaying game Star Wars: Galaxies and certain elements of a few N-canon stories.

N-canon is non-canon. "What-if" stories (such as stories published under the Star Wars: Infinities label), game statistics, and anything else directly contradicted by higher canon ends up here. N-canon is the only level that is not considered official canon by Lucasfilm. A significant amount of material that was previously C-canon was rendered N-canon by the release of Episodes I-III.

So... if something happens... written by into a book even about something, but it argues the facts that has been labels something a level above it... IT'S NOT TRUE!

they were used in space for transporting troopers to the fleets but close to the planet



swbf2 everything was messed up and it wasnt pretty many stuffs that was canon

though LAAT stands for Low Altitude Assault Transport.
And was sent out from their motherships in space or kilometers up in the atmosphere

wasnt it that i said?

His question is why are they called Low Altitude since they can go everywhere.

whos question?

No one is making sense in this thread anymore it seems.

hmm dont blame me i dont get a damn thing what people are talking about XD

What is an LAAT!

Laat/i and c where used to transport something from a ship to a other ship, in space too the problem was they had no hyperspace engines and the could be too long in space.

and of course they need to refull

but they were still not used in space battles

They were in SWB2.
