New Heracles

<< < (2/2)

aa_:
I have heard about dropships craft needing to fit in 2x1 tile, but 3x2 does provide more freedom. How much exactly is 1 tile in terms of QU?

ShipIt:
A tile is 8x8 cells, so 256x256 units.

Not to praising the aerodynamics nor the aesthetics of the Heracles, but it was said that the cargo pod which is used on the model on your picture is "backside forwards". At least, the windscreen should correctly stand on the bow now.  :)

About the non wanted replacement of the Heracles model,  is it because the designers wish to oppose its welcomed load capacity (at some point in the campaign) to the tactical deployment flexibility the Firebird somewhat displays, thus delaying its obsolescence a little?

There are no intentions to replace the Herakles, simply because there is no reason to. Oc if somebody sends a patch with something that is better than what we have now, this is a different story. Lots of work, though.

None of the dropships should get obsolete at any point, as every single one shoud have advantages and disadvantages. However, the Herakles will be available for research at the beginning of the campaign, as soon as somebody manages to give him additional doors.
