[QUOTE="Doc_Pippin, post: 8085246, member: 7022122"] So after looking through the mech ideas I figured that all the best ones could be broken down into 3 projects 1. The Medium sized BB-Series utility mech frame or series of frames, that could then have been heavily modified for combat and a small passenger like that seen in the baby Yoda pictures. 2. The R-Enhancement Mech series with some basic MK. 1 version, the more open AT-ST sized MK. 2, and the more heavily fortified MK. 3 also known as the Astro-buster-mech we could also have an upgrade/modification that retrofitted a BB-series to run these units. 3. A collection of modifications, templates, upgrades, & similar that allow Star Wars ships of certain sizes to transform into mechs/gundams. Now as mentioned capitol ships could make sense if we wanted them but I think that opens up a lot of strangeness that could make it hard to write out so I thought we could start with the smaller fighter and transport ships and do capital ships and such later if we wanted to. I also thought up a quick list of cool ships that could be mech-ed. [SPOILER="Ship list ideas"] TIE Series or possibly a specialty TIE Mech as the TIE series was meant to be cheap and it would likely not be used on all ships Lambda-Class Shuttle (& similar type imperial shuttles) A-Wing, B-Wing (+/- the vastly superior prototype seen in the cartoon), E-Wing, V-Wing, X-Wing (+/- the Stealth X-Wing &/or Poe's booster rig), &/or the Y-Wing ARC-170, Z-95, Eta-2, Delta-7, N-1 Naboo Fighter, Belbullab-22 Starfighter, Sith Infiltrator --> All cool ships from the Clone Wars Era, also this transforming concept has a Star Wars connection in canon via the Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid line of ships which included the CIS' Vulture-class and Hyena-class droid ships which could turn into capable land vehicles. I find Mandalorian ships to be some of the coolest ships so I included a bunch of them, canonically this would also make sense as the Mandalorians were quick to adopt tech that made them better warriors --> Firespray-31 Patrol Craft, M12-L Kimogila Heavy Fighter, G1-M4-C Dunelizard Fighter, M3-A Scyk Fighter, StarViper-Class Assault Fighter, M22-T "Krayt" Gunship, The Razor Crest styled gunship Cannot forget our friends from Corellian Engineering Corporation -> YT-1300 (or the vastly cooler looking YT-1930), YV-666, VCX-100 Light Freighter (+ VCX-S9 Auxiliary Shuttle) I think I would keep the VCX-100 Light Freighter as the upper limit for size (It is WAY bigger than the Falcon BTW) It is at the limits of what would be considered a Sub-Capital ship [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
