I vote no as I really don't see any other use of this other than replacing the Speeder bikes on ice planets.

I think it wouldn't really work too well. I see someone charging me on a horse, I shoot the horse. Horse dies, rider gets hurt. I shhot rider. Simple. Against a tank, shoot the horse, probably kill the rider too.

Kinda worthless. I vote no.

yes they are...
there more scout units than fighting unit, they would have about as much armour as a speederbike and about as much blaster power... not much of a fighting unit... but a scout

the speederbikes are really too heavily armored, and tauntauns don't seem to have to much sustenance either. in ep.V, Solo's tauntaun dies of exhaustion; doesn't seem like they're too resilient to me. and why would they have more blaster power than infantry? only a small and light carbine could be used at all on so unstable a mount. for scouting, there's much more heavily armed, more versatile, yet just as fast units.

but a cavallerie alway has a small advantage against infantry. They're moving more quick - so they're harder to aim. The soldier sits above - he can aim your head more easy and the horse or in SW the taun taun is massive enough to hurt a man seriously by hitting him.

Sure, they're not very strong. they're no ubber-infantry. and they're probably not neccassary, but why not?
They could also be used - I know no cannonical evidence - for sanitation/mechanican Units. The sanitator/mechanica would be able too heal/repair infantry/tanks more quickly (because of faster reaching) and would also be able to attend 3 or 4 squads. Just an idea...

his tauntaun was also running for hours in like a -100 degree blizzard lol i wud die 2

and speederbikes are already weak dont make them weaker :\ and besides these are like indigenous there ot really supposed to be all powerful but be good as a imperial speederbike without the awesum special ability

I guess it would be quite smart to add a poll to this topic, to see were we are...

The reason you can have heavier weaponry is because you can carry more weight, as your own weight is supported for you.

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #48 on:** November 20, 2008, 10:05 pm »

but it would be jiggling around... why did cavalry not use heavier weapons then? they used lighter ones, in reality.
i suppose we should put it to a vote.

0-1

Actually, cavalry favored much heavier weaponry than infantry. The extra skill needed was what made cavalry so much harder to get.

which is why it was a waste. Its a lot easier t tech infantry to drive an APC than to ride a friggin tauntaun.

Stockholm Syndrome (pORG13i) · « **Reply #51 on:** November 20, 2008, 11:20 pm »

1 - 1

Exactly where this is going. It's not necessary at all for anything.

Django (sunfalcon) · « **Reply #54 on:** November 21, 2008, 12:08 am »

i vote no. The rebels only used them on hoth and only then out of necessity. no go for me.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #55 on:** November 21, 2008, 01:18 am »

Yes, same here, I vote no.

Django (sunfalcon) · « **Reply #56 on:** November 21, 2008, 02:02 am »

the taun tauns were only really used until the snow speeders could be upgraded for the cold. I think i read that somewhere.

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #57 on:** November 21, 2008, 03:06 am »

yes, you're right, so its 1-6.

Tanus · « **Reply #58 on:** November 21, 2008, 04:28 am »

if you didn't count my vote, it's 1-7

Peace Trooper · « **Reply #59 on:** November 21, 2008, 05:02 am »

they were still a very important scout unit for the rebellion for exploring hoth, and i must ask when were rebel snowseeders ever used on any planet but hoth? i wud like to know because if they were only used on hoth i think they should be removed from the game...
2-6
lol sorry guys i gotta vote for what i think makes the mod better
