ello there ! I'm currently working on the AEGIS Conqueror but I thought that it would be nice to have some smaller ships to work with. I tried some concept and I came with 2 concept. Initially I wanted a dropship that can carry vehicles, but my first concept wasn't great IMO for that job so I did another one and it fit much better this role ! However, I conserved the first one as a small ground attacker. You will find the first pictures of those 2 ships (very early WIP...). They share the same "DNA" of the Conqueror ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AEGIS Vallant : "The AEGIS Vallant is a dropship able to operate both in atmospheric conditions and in the vaccum of space. It was designed to carry heavy payload to the battlefield. The ship can be equipped with a large variety of modules : MEDEVAC, troops transport, ground vehicle transport, cargo, Reco... Like it's big brother, the Conqueror, the Vallant has 4 manoeuvring thrusters to allow safe landing and hover in every conditions. When engineers came with this concept, they had the word "safety" in their mind. This brand new ship can sustain a lot of damage and save it's crew even in a very hard landing. The ship can defend itself with a small auto-canon mounted on the nose and operated by the co-pilot. This turret can turn on 360° and engage infantry and small targets" dimensions : length : 45m beam : 25m height : 8m crew : 3 (pilot, co-pilot, mecanic) AEGIS Warrior : "The AEGIS Warrior is a small gunship designed to provide fire support to infantry. With it's nimble size, the ship can go fly in small and narrow location to help when it is needed. This ship is a bit different compared to its brothers because it has only 3 manouevring thrusters. This configuration allow a better agility and a big weight reduction. The Warrior has a large variety of weapons : 2 gimbal canons on each side of the cockpit, missile racks, a minigun mounted in the nose and a manned turret with heavy machine guns. A small crate can be mount under the tail to provide a small resupply to nearby forces." dimensions : length : 28m beam : 18m height : 6m crew : 3 (pilot, co-pilot, gunner) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some details : - Both the Vallant and the Warrior are equipped with a wheeled landing gear to operate from a carrier like the Conqueror - the Vallant can be equipped with 2 different modules per mission. On the pics, they are empty but you can imagine that in a planet attack, one Vallant can have a Cyclone + a squad of marines or 2x cyclone (one on each side) for instance - the vallant will not have turrets (at the moment at least) - the entrance on the Vallant is at the rear - the Warrior was inspired of the "hunter killer" from Terminator - the entrance on the Warrior is at the rear too - no turrets are shown - some airlocks are planned for the Vallant, not the Warrior - Both ship have a "tandem" configuration (co-pilot behind the pilot) - the co-pilot will be able to take control of the ship if needed (both ship) - the ring on the top of the warrior is for the turret (as well as the ring on the cockpit side) - engines on the Vallant will be bigger (at the moment, they are the same engines as the Warrior) I don't know what can I add :grinning: those ships need a lot of love (they are very blocky) but I think that I can make something good with them ! Let me know your thought and suggestions
