        Guys I need your help. I have problems deciding what my WIP will ultimately be.

        Heres the pictures


        Now first I thought it could be a bomber, but then I accidentally found that it could also be a dropship holding some 12 today's tanks or equivalent in size.

        Spoiler:


        But now I don't know which it could be! And I have no idea what use do I have for the wing pods. It's too small a ship to be a fighter carrier.

        Maybe I'll make her a cargoship...

        Any Ideas??

            It depends a lot. If it's a dropship then it will have one or two plasma cannons that will hammer heavy fortifications before landing troops. Railcannons are a must, and missiles of course.

            The dropship use started to bother me.. The ship requires a lot of flat terrain. Over half a hectare (about 5600m2) to be exact. Will such areas be aviable in combat situations?

              why dont you use asgard beams to drop off the troops and cargo then, the ship provides cover fire.

                Looks really good, does it have to be Tau'ri?

He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

                  I agree... have the beams for rapid deployment, IE combat situations where you can't land, but when, or if, you have enough flat ground to land then you can do so.

                    Plus in the world of sci-fi looks count as 80% of the way a ship looks.
                    They look to stuby to work, yeah , lol.

                      What if the beams are jammed? The wraith can do it, so can someone else.
