Bounty hunter ships? (Page 1 of 2)

Hmmm, i realy think a heavily modified TIE phantom would be sweet, but it has no room for captives. Any sort of freighter or crusier would do, so would medium ships, like corvettes, or shuttles. When you make the films, make sure to put a link or the film itself here.
(GOOD LUCK!)

A Transwarp Cruiser would make a great Bounty Hunter ship. It has a clocking device that makes it invisible to even high powered sensors. It can eve fire while staying invisable. It also has two laser cannons on the wings and a multi barreled laser cannon on the front, which is pretty impressive for a ship its size.

Only bad thing is it lacks shields and can't attack to the side, due to all the wepons being up front. I wouldn't worry about those though. Who needs shields when you can go invisible?

It can handle just about anything, except an Energon Torch or any other focused, high heat tool.

Well, thats good to know. Wouldent want any unproven bounty hunters to get instafroze or anything.

it would have to be fast manuevarable well shielded and well armed.but also innocous in appearance.

I've seen a Tie crawler ( do they even exist? ) in lego. ( lego model which you can build and look at ) That would be a good land Bounty hunter ship.

A fine ship, but you couldn't capture and transfer bounties from their ship to yours..........or even have a place for prisoners in one could you?  Not without serious modifications, at least.

Personally I'd go with the StarViper.  It's a serious gunslinger and great dogfighter, yet still has a little room for prisoners, supplies, and sleeping quarters.  Not as much as Slave I for sure, but more then an X-Wing or Arc-170 type fighter.

Or, if you want to bring partners into the mix, use 1 or 2 fighters working with a larger craft like a modified transport/freightor.  Then you have the kill/capture capabilities the fighters give you with plenty of supplies and prisoner space for long hunts

Here's the ship I'm using for an RPG, I think it works pretty nice for a bounty hunting ship as it has a strong cloaking system, and is faster than the most ships that can locate it   Its a LightStealth 18 Reconnaissance Ship: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/LightSte … sance_Ship

Always thought of your ship as something like this CA:

It really fits, the Normandy is a stealth ship
Yours would definitely be smaller i think, but it might be about the same size....

It's a 3-seater, so you could use one to hold your prisoner.  I'd still like a main support craft, though.  I think it would be better to have a main support vessel, like a Corvette type of cruiser (I like the ones used by Tyber Zam's Consortium).  They have plenty of firepower and support facilities in and of themselves.  But also have a couple of ARC-170's and maybe a LaaT/i Gunship in your launch bay as your primary tool vehicles.  Gives you flexibility when you need to capture a target.  If you don't have personnel working with you, you could purchase some combat droids to serve in those capacities.  Like the BL series Legionnaire droids.  Each LaaT/i gunship comes with one of those field medic droids, that are on par with a surgeon droid, but are more mobile (they float on repulsors instead of walking), so that could come in real handy in a pinch.  Use a droid rear-gunner for the ARC-170.  If you need to hit a more heavily defended target, take the gunship full of BL droids to land and take it out.  Quite effective.  You'd have to have the droids reprogrammed, though, to be more autonomous.  Let them think for themselves, learn, and become more creative.  Otherwise they're just going to be as crappy as the old Trade Fed Battle Droids.  I think that's why I like the BL droids better.  Program some specifically as pilots and others to also assist in maintaining the ships.  Like having your own small little army or squad.

This is what I kind of had in mind.
