Remember in the DS9 episode "...Nor the Battle to the Strong" when a Federation Colony is under constant bombardment from Klingon mortors? In the episode when Jake comes across that wounded Marine, the Marine mentions somthing about a "Hopper" and if his men had gotton to it safely. I assume a Hopper is somthing like a troop transport much like a Helicopter of today. Anybody ever think of what a Federation Helicopter Gunship/Dropship would look like? It would be neat to see what some people come up with.
-
I think it would look like the Argo shuttle. If it's big enough to hold a Fed Hummer it would be perfect for Marines plus it has a remote control.
-
im thinking more of an extended runabout converted for atmospheric flight, basically thrusters only to be deployed from low orbit :)
-
How about somthing like these?

Cool design but judging by the size of the rear docking ring it's rather small.
-
I like it. Go for it, I'd want that for my game. :thumbsup:

NICE - I like it. Multi-purpose, could see it as a Fed PF in a modified campaign - least the tactical variants. I like too that there's a "family" version. Was wondering what the Winnebago's of the 2300's would look like ;D

I like that...exactly what is needed, a multi-function vehicle that can be mass produced. Great find IM. :thumbsup:

I like this one. It's nose is a little too 747 for me though. It should look more like a helicopter. Kinda like the Pelican on Halo, or those Dropships in Aliens.
-
they all seem to strike me as kinda smallish/confined/missing large doors that get alot of people out quick
-
this is a pic of an TMP version of such a Shuttle or hopper and is used by Starfleet Marines (thanx to Jackills designs)

Well in ST V they used Type 5 shuttlecraft for the assault on the Intergalactic Peace Planet. I still think the Argo shuttle is the best bet because if it's large enough to hold a Fed Hummer is more then adequite to hold Marines. But I'm sure someone will come up with something interesting. I for one will keep looking.
-
I'm not a big fan of Nemesis, so forgive me MP that I prefer Treknology's Hopper over the Argo and it's 2002 Hummer.
-
Ok how about something like this ?
-
Well, the Arrow-class isn't bad for a small personell transport shuttle (used in atmospheric and space flight), but canonically (I believe and according to Memory Alpha (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Hopper)) it is like TMP's Air Tram; a craft that is capable of atmospheric flight.

It's anything but little, if you notice in the lower left of the picture is a person for scale ;)
-

That is simply put, perfect.
Looks like it could easily hold 36 marines, equipment and a crew of 4 or 5.
-
Oh that's perfect! I can picture a couple of those landing on a battlefield with troops storming out of it.
-
Definitely a very nice model!
Did u just "throw" that together :o - fantastic.... <edit> ok - I see the credit now in the lower right hand <edit>
Looks like late(r) TMP'ish - though nacelles seem perhaps a touch later. I'm looking at the blue bars as nacelles, this thing is warp capable, right? Anyhow, wonderful model and a great shot - would love to see some more of her and hear about her develpment...

and how ya like this ;D

Looks just like the aero shuttle from Voyager
-
I could easily re-HP either Major P's or Mani's aeroshuttle with these stats to make a varient if everyone want's it.
-
I think it is simple, this is what we want, including the topic creator. He said it was perfect. If you could do this one, it would be best. Who wants another aero shuttle with different hardpoints? Still the same ship.

Very true it's the same ship, but some people may use it in game and may want a stronger weapon arsenal for it I wasn't infering we use it as a 'hopper' just another varient for the game ;).
-
Cant the new one be armed like the aeroshuttle/hopper?

That's what I mean, I'm gonna use the above linked stats on an Aero-shuttle varient. I'm hoping someone else can take on the Arrow-Class. ;)

That arrow class looks like a stretched stability ;)

Yeah I thought that as well, but the front and middle section of the arrow are different, the back though is almost identical. Maybe we can gratuitously beg ya to do both the Arrow and Stability ?
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: (we need a begging Smiley oh yeah and a drooling one lol)

-
Yeah MarkyD we beg you to do your greatness, and create them :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
-
rofl.. i'll start with the arrow as going through the pain of doing the stability again doesnt bear thinking about... ;)
-
Try stretching it out (giggle), the stability I mean...
Anyway that arrow looks neat, but that scale pic is odd as the window look like a fighter cockpit/bomber so the person is too tiny (or the windows too big!!!) Just an opinion.
I'd use it as a troop transport/Bomber with 6 person crew + payload (or troops)
*runs to make some tri-colbalt-esqte missiles*
