 |
|
Has anyone ever used this vehicle in a game?
For those of you thinking, "Huh?" the Tramp Speeder is a lightly armed utility transport featured in the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook. I'm thinking of switching it from landspeeder to airspeeder and making it a light utility counterpart to the combat airspeeder, giving the Alliance a basic air assault capability.
Thoughts?

I think so. It wouldn't need much more than that.

Thing is if you switch it to air speeder, it generally means it has 250+ meters of flight ceiling.. Normal swoops/speeders/repulsorlift vehicles are most often limited to 20 or so meters and lower..

That's how I'm picturing it, roughly equivalent to an OH-6 or an OH-58. A light utility air speeder for troop deployment, medevac, fire support, etc.
