Bounty Hunters Speederbike/ swoop combo.

[willg]

Any recommendations for very fast, very powerful Speeder/ Swoop bike combo for a Bounty Hunter?

Its gotta be able to go into a 3-Z Light freighter cargo hold.

Its gotta be armed

Its gotta have some protection for the driver

And its gotta be cool...

Also, some method for holding onto prisoners that eorsnt leavevthe driver vulnerable.

Base model recommendations welcome, links, pics and stats appreciated

Full house, custom bespoke stats enthusiastically appreciated

Well apparently your looking for a Swiss Army vehicle. Swoops are typically 1 person vehicles and a speeder could be either 2 or more people, can be covered or not. It really depends on you. Also keep in mind, unless he has the proper permits there is no way, other than in the Outer Rim areas that a planetary government is going to let him ride around with a 50 cal strapped to the front of his speeder.

Now you also said it has to afford protection? So that means it probably have to be covered. You say it needs to have a place to put bounties so they cannot attack him, which means a locked rear passenger compartment, similar to what police have in their cars.

Sooooooo ....

My god...that is beautiful. q

I mean, Sure, I could still have a swoop, but this...this is something magnificent.

[willg]

Im planning to reshuffle the interior of the 3-Z anyway. Boy, now I have a real go reason.

Shes less of a Freighter, more a customised Bounty Hunters MobilelHQ..or as my friend put it, a. Flying Batcave.

Well this thing probably has the back seat decked out so you can transfer people without them escaping or attacking the character. Think the back end of a police cruiser. So basically the back will all crunched up, but you could get 2 people in it, the front only holds 2 as well. At least the customized version. The street version would seat 1+1+3.

So is this going to be something you can use?

Absolutley. I might add a few tricks and doodads, non lethal stuff to pacify and incapacitate my targets....but looks like a welcome part of the armory...

I don't know whether any of you have seen the gameplay video for the new Metal Gear Solid game? There's an interesting mechanism there, which allows for the protagonist to 'bag' equipment and people and livestock with a balloon harness, which is then retrieved by some drone or other. They call it a 'Fulton'. Take a look here It is apparently inspired by the real world system that I believe was employed in one of the Christian Bale Batman movies.

So. Given that your bounty hunter has incapacitated his bounty or what have you, wouldn't it be cool if you just sort of 'autoretrieved' the bounty, and then screamed away on your Ikas Adno Nighthawk or whatever hotrod you'll currently be driving?

Try a GHT medevac droid, perhaps slightly modified. They're not too big, so you should be able to fit one or two of them into saddlebags for some semi-large speeder bike or patrol car or other. Whoosh! and up they go.

Interesting. Maybe the poor soul floats a few dozen feet off the ground for "safe keeping".

7:35 in the video.

Heck WW2 and Vietnam troops often used a weird harness for hercules (or other planes) to come by and pick someone up.
