VTOL fighting in DS2

Thanks for the info Brendan, though it is way 
overkill for what I needed :) 

All I wanted was to make it possible to engage 
enemy VTOLs and fighters which are over the 
DS2 board. That is to say, if my tank killer VTOL 
is hovering slamming tanks into mush, he'd like 
to have some defence when the aerospace 
fighter comes in to kick his butt. A little 18" 
range Stinger or a 36" GMS/L-AA will do just 
fine. 

And FWIW, Interface capable elements may be 
priced at 1000%, but that's insane. Just 
because my VTOL has aerospace movement (ie 
its the dropship from aliens) in that it comes in 
from orbit, that doesn't make it any more potent 
over the battlefield. I think you have to consider 
what the unit can do on the battlefield and not be 
a slave to points <not that you were implying 
that>. If it acts like a VTOL (in most respects) 
but brings troops in from orbit (which isn't any 
different from a faraway base as far as the 
game board goes), then I should probably cost it 
like a VTOL. 

And FWIW, a normal size 5 VTOL can carry a 
size 3 MBT if I recall correctly, so a tank 
carrying lander isn't necessarily larger than the 
game scale. It just means you need a bunch of 
them to land a unit of tanks. If it was landing little 
jeeps, it could probably land 2 or 3 of them per 
lander. 

Thanks for the Info. I also liked the DFO for 
SG2. I did a conversion for SLAMs that I use for 
my Aliens Dropships, but I didn't have one for 
DFO yet. 

Now if only the only online DS2 vehicle designer 
of which I am aware didn't spitback internal 
server errors all the time, I could do vehicle 
design much quicker....
