Rather vague...Not sure what it's supposed to mean. The only thing I can guess at would be a recon one , since we already have personnel transports, troop transports, combat transports, and about every transport you could need.Hint? Hmm... okay . It has a somewhat different role that couldn't quite be simulated by any of our existing transports.
And speaking of recon, I notice there's a Ferret-class Reconnaissance Vessel among the XML files. Isn't that one of the New Republic's New Class ships? Why isn't it in-game?

Yeah, it is. You'll find out if/when I can track down a model for it. If not, there's probably enough diversity where it won't be overly missed.Rather vague...Not sure what it's supposed to mean.
I'm sure it won't be the only potential new ship in v1.2 either...
It was going to be the Rebel version of the Imperial probe droid, except persistent and a ship. That was before Ghostrider joined, and as he got further into GFFA, it made more sense to have a more accessible intelligence unit, so I went with the Bothan Spy instead. The Ferret got cut (in the short term), but all the files are still there so someone could mod it back in if desired; it just wouldn't have upgrades.And speaking of recon, I notice there's a Ferret-class Reconnaissance Vessel among the XML files.

Gah! More vagueness...I'm sure it won't be the only potential new ship in v1.2 either...
I think reconnaissance vessels would make a lot of sense. Since ships only have max vision at or below max weapon range, having something with vision greater than that would help out, as well if alone the vessel could see everything at a planet when its there. Spy units are limited in aspects like that, because they only tell you how much is there, and not what is there.It was going to be the Rebel version of the Imperial probe droid, except persistent and a ship.
