What about these?

Tank droid

Mmm...I'd love to see this, but it's freaken` huge...twice as tall as an AT-AT...also I have no clue wtf a particle cannon looks like...maybe I need to read Dark Empire. Does it show it firing?

Compact Assault Vehicle/wheeled PX-10

Couldn't hurt, it's quite cute.

Guardian-class patrol ship

Can I have a wookiepedia link to the article? That looks like a modified Mobquet Medium Transport.

Heavy Assault Vehicle/wheeled A6 Juggernaut

I can agree to this, just make sure it actually has good weapons not like the pathetic piece of crap of a "Juggernaut" on vanilla FoC.

AT-OT. I would hate to have to animate this!


FireHawk Heavy Repulsor Tank.


UT-AT. A few were used.


XP-38 landspeeder. Later Upgrades could lightly arm it.

[Casen]

Ugh let's try to tone down the prequel vehicles I really hate the prequels. I like the EU stuff before the prequels.

[TheEmpire]

Well they still are canon and relevant and the empire did use some prequel vehicles. I never liked some of the prequel but the empire did use them. They all do not have to be in the mod just a select few.

Just look for Guardian-class patrol ship and it'll appear.
About the Juggernaut, I'm sure PR will stick to canon, and according to it, the Jueggernaut has a lot of weapons.

Why are you guys insulting Avengers Animations for the AT-TE? They're very good, he just didn't make V2 which would have included turning animations like he said.

And i'd love to see a fully working NEW Juggernaut .

This definitely needs to go in...

Century tank "TIE Crawler"

http://starwars.wiki...ki/Century_tank







The medium blaster cannons could be like those on the TIE Mauler but the Turbolaser could be just that...a turbolaser.

Could have relatively weak armor for it's size.

I agree with you 100% regarding the implementation of the TIE Crawler. Actually, I've always wondered why Petro used their own non-canon TIE Mauler instead of the canon TIE Crawler.

By the way, I like the new walker ideas too but, as everyone else has already mentioned, animations will cause problems; maybe repulsor-based vehicles are a more feasible addition.

Wondered the same thing myself. Actually in general seriously I'm actually starting to develop a pet peeve for game developers who invent new vehicles JUST for Star Wars games when theres EU stuff that could have filled those niches quite nicely. This practice by game developers leads to canonical problems. I mean, seriously was the invention of the T2-B and the T4-B even necessary?

I mean they're supposed to be upgraded from the T1-B and the T3-B yet much of Empire at War takes place way before Force Commander...it makes no sense...it leads to horrid inconsistency.

That and the fact I find the T1-B and the T3-B to be way more effective than the T2-B and the T4-B...but I'll blame that on different game mechanics.

The T2-B's are horrid vehicles, I swear. Completely useless for anything other than mobile distractions. Their durability through shields is their one saving grace, but when the guns do jack shit what it's worth other than a decoy?

And not to mention, they're ugly as sin. The T1-B's are much nicer looking. The T4-B looks alright though it doesn't feel Star Wars-ish to me...but yeah it was designed as an homage to the Mammoth tank from C&C so go figure.

By the way, I like the new walker ideas too but, as everyone else has already mentioned, animations will cause problems; maybe repulsor-based vehicles are a more feasible addition.

Walkers are a significant part of the Imperial military to leave them out would be blasphemy!

I Understand the T2-B because somthing had to be between T1-B and T3-B but the T4-B is just in there for balance and a squad of T4-Bs gets destroyed by the AT-AT. Not like what it was in the game.

I don't know they did not put in the crawler when the mauler is almost the same. Also walkers are a staple of the Imperial Army because of their usefulness you have to put them in. Not all of them but some of the more known ones.

[Valter]

Yeah, I know what you mean. The T4-Bs remind me of those tanks used in the Terminator movies.

I'm not saying don't include walkers, I was pointing out the difficulty (namely, the work-hours) of animating the dozens of vastly different models of walkers that are being suggested. Just pointing out the obvious I guess.

I do like the idea of having more flying vehicles; makes land battles more dynamic and less monotonous.

[TheEmpire]

I can't seem to find anymore good vehicles for the imperials. Thair vehicles are harder to find because they used things tested just for the imperial army unlike the rebels that slapped weapons onto anything they could find.

Why are you guys insulting Avengers Animations for the AT-TE? They're very good, he just didn't make V2 which would have included turning animations like he said.

Well it kinda looked like it was rolling and the feet moved to fast but the model mas good and if he did make a 2nd one it would be good. It just needed a little work. I think Avenger did good work for the modding community but this just was not his best.

Personally I liked the T4-B but it was just overpowered (Though not as bad as the Zann tanks and missile platforms.). Also the T2-B does have its uses such as being faster then a AT-ST though the gun was underpowered.

Yeh and some of them have a lot of legs. The AT-OT has 8!

victory cruiser: yes, in the land battles.

[TheEmpire]

The Victory cruiser would destroy everything on the battlefield though that would make it more canon the mod still has to be balanced. Maybe it could be like a orbital bombardment with the Victory coming into the map but making it a land unit would unbalance everything.

[Kalo Shin]

Done at 702 Polys! =D This was meant for my personal Mod but if PR wants it i'll give it :o.

[Duke]

Hmm nice! Is it just me or does the right hand wing look totally out of proportion with the left? Probably just the angle

[Kalo Shin]

The Shadows i put in the render aren't displaying on the other ones edges, it's just the angle .

[Phoenix Rising]

Don't worry too much about the animation difficulty; I should be able to handle it. Organic animation trips me up, but I'm better at precision movement, like walkers. Not that I consider myself much of an animator...

I haven't really delved this far into land combat yet, but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the offer.

[jangotate]

I'd really love to have the LAAT/i to ferry Stormies around. And Shadow Stormtroopers...
