Alternative to DX9/Crysis VTOL/Lambda Shuttle

[bigboytrain365]

What do you want to see? -  I would like for a new vehicle to be added to the server, it is known as the Imperial Dropship Transport (commonly shortened to IDT and what i will refer to it as for the rest of the suggestion). Its purpose is similar to pre-existing ships like the DX9 where as the name suggests it is meant to function as a troop/personnel transport. 

Why should we add it? -  I think that it should be added to the server for many reasons, some of them being that it offers pilots more choices of ship to better fit their flying preferences/skill, it can serve as a lore friendly replacement to the VTOL from Crysis, and it is better suited for combat compared to the DX9 while also being small enough to fit easily into MHB and SHB unlike the Lambda Shuttle.

What are the advantages of having this? - In my opinion this vehicle offers many advantages for example when taking off from MHB in a D9X you require a lot of speed in order to get off the ground and you also start off moving  in a straight line across the ground which can cause many pilots to hit the bottom ring of the hanger door but, when flying the IDT the ship first raises from the ground allowing you to easily clear the door frame. The IDT is also easier to fly in my opinion and its is smaller than the DX9/Crysis VTOL and far smaller than a lambda shuttle allowing more IDTs to fit into the hanger bays. I also think that the IDT is better armed and better suited for combat than the DX9 as it has an armament of a dual laser cannon and alternating missile launchers while also having a dual laser turret similar to the Crysis VTOL while being able to carry 1 pilot, 1 gunner, and 18 troops with openable doors on each side where you can see the 18 troops standing and where they could fire there weapons from. It is also a better replacement for the DX9 due to the IDT having a higher top speed and smaller size making it a harder target for enemy AA guns compared to the slow, large,boxy DX9. The IDT is also easier to maneuver than the DX9 while being stable enough as to not move around while hovering similar to the Crysis VTOL. It will also be able to streamline spawning of ships as it is also  suitable vehicle for any commanders going into battle so that only one type of transport needs to be used. The final reason that i believe that it should replace/supplement the DX9 and Crysis VTOL is that the IDT has (In my opinion) a higher production value than the DX9 as with the DX9 it uses the sounds of a CIS Vulture Droid and when using the DX9 missiles the missile only spawns from the left missile pod. While for the Crysis VTOL i think that the IDT should replace/supplement the Crysis VTOL as it offers lore accuracy compared to the Crysis VTOL as the VTOL is from the video game series Crysis while the IDT is from the star wars game The Force Unleashed and as such all of the IDTs sounds and its Model comes from that game. (plus the IDT was also brought to cannon though the star wars game star wars commander)

Who is it mainly for? - Pilots / Passengers of Transports

We already had this in the beggining of the server and it didn't work.

We had this when the server first released, it requires the server to have a higher tick rate which we are not changing. The DX9 can take off vertically while stationary and at low speeds, just hold Shift.
