Default Re: Proportions + Devnull + special ingredients = Derek\'s Mod Gold

Just because:

I think I have Star Wars fever, and therefor am starting a campaingn of conquest of a new galaxy utilizing the Star Wars Empire ship set which conviently contains extra ship styles to accomadate the Derek's Mod extra ship classes nicely. I like variety. Unfortunately, there are only three troop types. Derek, What are the odds that you might add a few more, ie: infantry (a bunch of pee shooter bearing grunts that serve as track pads) and huge troops (those majestic ironclad behemoths that instill mortal fear in those common folk that don't know any better -without firing a shot) so that I may utilize some of those cool stormtroopers and AT-AT's. I really like your fighter concept, and it adds nicely to creating specialized units, I would like to extend that to the ground pounders.

Maybe like in PvK's proportions, you could manipulate those track pads into cannon fodder masses(cheap, but sure can hold their ground - defense bonus) and specialized infantry with some to hit and defense bonuses, but really expensive(something that could be greatly utilized in cargo holds of a gunship sized fighter and dropped covertly past enemy planetary defenses.)

Breakdown:
Infantry *TL I (Pea Shooters)
Small Troops *TL II (Light and Heavy Weapons)
Medium Troops *TL III (LW and HW, armor and other gizmos, ex: IFV's)
Large Troops *TL IV (tanks and artillery)
Specialized Infantry *TL IV (special forces, rangers, recon)
Huge or Behemoth Troops *TL V (Toys R Us on the go)

Also, I don't know if I requested this before; but, what about adding boarding party components to be utilized on gunship sized fighters, perhaps the ability to land troops on planets too(see above example of special forces). I don't know if this would be hard to mod in, it sure would be cool though.

Did I mention that this is an excellent mod. Bravo. So what do you think about those troops. Thanks.
