I split the stuff talking about Cliff Face into another thread.

Sidenote, in case people here don't read the ML, we are *not* using SVN anymore, we have moved to using git.
While the patch is done (well, has been done for quite awhile), I still need to fix stats and was still hoping for a new transport pie... that is why it isn't in the code base yet.

Back in Dec. '09 member Xenon made some New Transport art and there was a discussion in that thread called Transports by Xenon about what any new Tank Transport should look like that I think is apropos - so here is that thread link:

None of the attachments or links in that thread are working anymore. While I do like Xenon's work here (& in his X Mod) I do think his Tank Transport is too radical a departure for the stock game for reasons expressed in that thread. Since you can no longer see pics of what I'm talking about in that thread I provide a couple screen caps below.

Perhaps the thread discussion, and Xenon's work, can provide a useful frame of reference going forward.







Same goes for, I think, Black Project's thread Proposal of a new VTOL: Based on real-life counterparts and the models he and Olrox worked on jointly based on the Osprey. Though they only did it for Vtols perhaps the basic design would scale for the Tank Transport. Here's that thread link and some caps of Olrox's work from that discussion:

BTW, it is in the codebase now, I still need to fix stats for balance issues--if anyone cares to do that, that would be great!

That is a nice looking transport... will have to check if there are .pie files for it, when I wake up ....
