i like Taun Taun's and would love to see them in the mod as like a rebel equal via imperial speeder-bike
After a long and close debate, rejected:
-not cannonically used in battle
-staff, and members, though split, generally agree against it.
-a mechanized scout type would be far superior, thus rendering as archaic a weapon as a tauntaun inferior.

they weren't exactly military vehicles... one shot would down one and they have no armament of their own.

well imperial speederbikes couldent take that much of a pounding either...

Django (sunfalcon) · « **Reply #3 on:** November 19, 2008, 04:19 am »

I vote no they have NO armament and there is no canon evidence they were used anywhere but Hoth.

wat about as an indigionous unit? i dont care about the taun tauns, its just that hoth is bland and needs like a wampa or somtin

I vote no they have NO armament

rebel troopers dont have any armour either but they can still drop stormtroopers...
and besides what good is armour gonna do if people are shooting 200,000,000 degree hot plasma at you? not to much...

Not armor, armament. You know, weapons.

I say no. There's really no point I can see in putting these in.

I think that Yoda used Taun taun in clone war cartoon?

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #10 on:** November 19, 2008, 04:55 pm »

That was not a Taun Taun, that was something else, but does this really have anything to do with the matter at hand?

aceofhicks · « **Reply #11 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:18 pm »

I say no, It was only used at Hoth.

Tanus · « **Reply #12 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:21 pm »

i still think its a crummy idea. they don't really serve a purpose, even as natives. they can't do troop transport, and they serve absolutley no combat function.

votes thus far

FOR: 1
AGAINST: 4
NEUTRAL: EVERYONE ELSE

1-5 unnecessary idea

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:58 pm »

Actually.

Since Hoth has no indigenous population, we could put in a spawn of just a few rebels on tauntauns for the indigenous population, spawning from echo base...

V · « **Reply #15 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:59 pm »

But after a certain point in the GCW (namely, after Hoth), Echo Base was used for other things.

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #16 on:** November 19, 2008, 09:00 pm »

True...

(This might be alterable)

V · « **Reply #17 on:** November 19, 2008, 09:01 pm »

Like a trigger or something that would make Echo Base spawn smugglers?

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #18 on:** November 19, 2008, 09:06 pm »

I don't care much what it spawns after, perhaps nothing, but whatever... A trigger might be possible...

(but if we're re-writing the face of the history in our campaigns, then...meh?)

V · « **Reply #19 on:** November 19, 2008, 09:17 pm »

Well, the Rebels would have abandonded it eventually; the only reason they used it was becasue of their defeat at Derra IV, they were desperate, and had nowhere else to go.
