Looking for an Aerospace Fighter
« on: January 24, 2012, 01:38:38 PM »
I am looking for an Aerospace Fighter with a name/concept that would go well with the Banshee (the 'Mech).
It can be cannon or not.

You mean a canon ASF, or something custom?

Name it the Siren (bugger the little Proto.) The name fits better.

Both.

Someone said on Solaris 7 Hellcat.

Hmm...a PPC and AC/5? There isn't much in the way of ASFs that line up perfectly. IMO, I'd pick a defining characteristic and work from there. Assault weight? The PPC, or AC/5? Heavy armor? Large Engine (relative to weight)? The list goes on.

The Riever is a heavy aerospace fighter full of hate, especially the AC/20 variants.  I recommend it.

You got me wrong Knightmare.
I meant that the Aerospace Fighter had to have a name that linked it somehow to the Banshee not that it had to be Banshee-alike.

MadCappelan, what does Riever mean?

It's simply a variant spelling of reaver, as far as I'm aware.

The first one to use the term Dork Age loses.

Pretty much. It's specifically the spelling used for the warbands of nobles along the scots-english border that used to fairly regularly raid each other's cattle and other such fun excitements in the mid-second millenium.

A quick check of wikipedia can reveal a bunch of similar mythic names. Hylas, Nymphs, the Slavic Rusalka, the Germanic Nix, the Scottish Bean Nighe, and the Romanian Iele pop on a quick search.

There's the Banshee aerospace/conventional fighter from the Somerset Strikers book. Although why anyone would use one of them escapes me.

This is why I knew it but couldn't find it.
Thanks.

Thanks but I am not an Aerospace designer (just ask Knightmare) and this is why I am looking for existing models.

I also found that Master Arminas made a Taurian Aerospace Fighter named Banshee.

You can find the Somerset knockoff in XTRO RetroTech if I remember correctly.
