Armoured Transport Type 1

In the absence of a historic thread to resurrect, I guess I need to create a new one.

I've had a pass at updating the textures and models of this one. The Transport itself had an excellent base texture, so the addition of a normal map and specular color makes the model have lovely details.

With the Escort Viper, I went down the path of reusing a standard Griff Viper, but attaching lasers on either side, replicating to a certain degree the winglets on the original. And those laser mounts aren't for show, either. This unit will now fire through all of them at once! Whee! Lasers!

Anyway, thoughts and comments welcome. I just need to do a little bit more testing and I'll issue it as an official update.

Looks good!

Is it for your Corporate States OXP? A Corporation trader for arriving at more difficult systems?

The viper seems to suit the krait... thingies, nice work.

Can't help thinking that upscaling the transport itself would have made a really nice dredger mode, esp. with that 'bridge' at the back.
