on second thought, its shape was a lot different
was its firepower comparable?

strategically, seeing that it has significant firepower, it should carry less that say, the juggernaut B5, so id say maybe 4 or 5

why should the firepower affect the transportation capability?

I think he means for in-game balance. I think maybe it should have the deploy ability, but limited to one squad of stormtroopers.

I think that is useful for AT-AT but for Floating Fortress the load/unload thing would be better in my mind.

yep. they are nine men strong if I remember coorrctly. And I think that AT-AT deploy think would be fine but how do you then put the troops back in the transport?

Im looking forward to being able to use it as a Mobile Reinforcement Point though :D

yep. I just sucks when you have only couple of reinforcement points and you get so little units from one. this will be great add-on. you can call reinforcements everywhere you want, just like in space battles.

Most of the planets now have a land population cap of about 20. You start with that, you end with that. The RPs now just serve as places to land.
