 Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2022 3:55 am Post subject: Mystery Machines for ISB Tactical Team |
 |
|
I am reimagining the Scooby Gang from Scooby-Doo as ISB Specialists, replacing the eponymous Scooby with a vicious droid...
This post however, is regarding their transportation.
i have a few ideas, but thought i'd open it up to suggestions for ground vehicles, speeders, shuttles, whatever you care to suggest...
i'd like to hear your ideas & 2ยข as to why that vehicle/ship.

I can just imagine a Firespray painted up like the Mystery Machine.

Hmn, that is a neat idea! But why would they pick those colors, or choose to keep them if it came to their possession that way?

Perhaps such that a flamboyant a paint scheme as that would be the last thing you would expect to be in the service of the Empire let alone the ISB - who normally likes to be unnoticed?

... That is a good point! Most ppl would see that ship & think tourists or a green bounty hunter.

I cannot find the ship name, but this one: https://www.pngaaa.com/detail/2888144
It's perfect!
This team does not get standard issue equipment because they are last chances and are not expected to do much, but the fact that they are underestimated by the Empire and their enemies alike is what gives them their edge. |

Hmnn, it seems familiar-ish, but i've no idea what it's from. I'd like to know more about it before i make up a stat block for it. It is an interesting find though, thank you
Yeah, i've been going thru Galaxy Guide 8: Scouts & other books lately, making a list of ships & scouts that works in the 6 sectors that my 15 BBY campaign is set in. I was gonna discount this, but they might get one later, then get so fed up with the droids they scrap them all & replace them with the best assortment of Imperial droids they can get...
..
Maybe the old astromech/astrowreck jumps them too close to a star...
Maybe i'll give them a mix of KotOR, SWTOR & WEG 'junk' droids...

Last night the hp craputer's pos bs os crashed the video card, & i had to restart the craputer twice to get it to work at all.
Doing that did briefly free up over 200MB memory, so i was downloading & editing images as fast as i could, but multiple attempts to download the pngaaa.com-2888144.png file would not work; the pngaaa.com site ONLY allows one download option, which is apparently incompatible & incomputable with my poodoo wifiless LOLOnet...

Thank God there is a workaround!
I can screenshot the page with the skewed preview (1330 x 673), paste it into 2 paint windows, & resize in the 2nd paint window to the stated size of the file, 653 x 1025. Alongside the 653 x 1025, i have the 1330 x 673 scaled down to 677 x 342 (same aspect ratio), & again at 677 x 683.
I then took the cropped primary (skewed) image & my resized composite, pasting them from paint into yahoo mail, both as images in mail body & as attachments.
I will save to one or both hp's hard drives later.
