 December 10, 2012 - 8:54pm | Clarion is waterlogged with a very damp environment. Hovercraft make a lot of sense for the Royal Guard. I think something like the LCAC built on a hover truck chassis but perhaps a little bit wider that than so it can transport a vehicle- a debarkation ramp like a landing craft. some heavy weapons and anti- air support with crew of around 4 Light armor and it only delivers the Guard unit(s) Medium armor and it might also support a Guard unit after delivering it to the hot zone I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

 December 12, 2012 - 1:31am | Hovercraft are awesome for quick strike vehicles. Whether as an attack craft or to deliver men and equipment to a zone, they really can be used in a multitude of environments. Water, snow, and desert would be ideal places for their use. I agree with jedion, that it would be an ideal light troop vehicle for the Clarion Royal Guard. I posted a link before about the Russian mega hover craft. That is more like a hard hitting vehical than most hovercraft. |
