T-16 Skyhopper...

[Ray]

OK, we all know they're great... Seen and flown them in some Video Games... Luke and Biggs were able to Bullseye Womp Rats in Beggars Canion with ithem... It's the T-16 Skyhopper...

Which I've never been able to find stats for... Where are they??? Were they ever produced???

They'd be perfect for so many reasons...

[Volo Enrunk]

from everything i've understood they are the equivilant of a go cart for a repulsor speeder. im sure they would a good trainer... in a video game but those guys probly just needed a name i wouldn't think of it as much more than a dune buggy.

Actually, they're closer to a Single-Prop Small Airplane... Kinda like a Cesna or something similar (I'm not too familiar with Small Planes... Or planes at all, really.).

http://www.starwars.com/databank/vehicle/t16skyhopper/index.html for the official look, you see Mark Hamill playing with the design prop in ANH.

The only stats I have on this comes from "Star Wars : The Essential Guide To The Vehicules And Vessels" and are as follows;

INCOM CORPORATION T-16 SKYHOPPER

Incom's T-16 Skyhopper is a high-speed transorbital pleasure craft.
The T-16 has been expressly designed to be fast and easy to handle. Relying on a high-powered Incom E-16/x Ion engine for thrust and two DCJ-45 repulsorlift generator for lift, the T-16 has a top speed of nearly 1200 Kilometers per hour and can reach an altitude of nearly 300 Kilometers. The distinctive triwing design helps stabilize the vehicule at high speeds, although the forward stabilizer fin blocks the pilot's field of view. Advance gyro-stabilizers help the pilot keep control, even in complex high-gee maneuvers. The ship is amazingly maneuvrable, allowing it to twist through tight turns and make amazing vertical climbs.

Civilians T-16 seldom carry mounted weapons. However, optional upgradesoffer four forward-firing stun cannons, or a cheaper pair of pneumatic cannons with the top pair of stun cannons stripped down to be targeting lasers. The T-16 is also a mainstay in the planetary militias and police forces across the galaxy ; such units are typically armed with two or four laser cannons and have heavier hull plating. The laser sighting system used to train pilots for gunnery and bombing runs.

The bottom of the T-16 has molecular-magnetic clamps and computer interfaces thatcan be used to mount add-on attachments, including extra fuel slugs for added flight range, or a heavy laser cannon for military duty. The T-16's cockpit has two sections, with room for a single pilot and one passenger. The cabin is pressurized for low orbital flights. The forward airfoil splits the windshield ; this can unsettle a new pilot, but a holographic Heads Up Terrain Display provides complete, true-to-life detail.

I hope this can be usefull to you. 8)

The T-16 Skyhopper is a high-speed transorbital pleasure craft, that is the kind of vehicle that every young hot-rodder wants to have in his garage. For many wishing to learn to fly, the T-16 is the most popular even though it is an older design. For Incom Corporation, this airspeeder has been a huge success for them. The T-16 was designed to be fast and easy to handle, hence the T-16's trademark for high speed. Its distinctive triwing design helps stabilize the T-16 at high speeds, although its forward stabilizer fin blocks the pilot's field of view. The forward stabilizer can be an unnerving experience to the inexperience pilot, however, the heads-up tactical holodisplay flawlessly projects a simulation of the obscured terrain.

Steering the lightly-structured craft is accomplished through an advanced gyro-stabilizer system, since ailerons and rudders could not provide sufficient control. As a result, the craft is amazingly manoeuvrable, thus it can make incredibly sharp turns without decelerating and can make amazing vertical climbs upon demand. This system helps keep the pilot in control, even in complex high-gee manoeuvres. On the remote planet of Tatooine, these craft are primarily used as sports vehicles. Nonetheless, the Skyhopper has an operation ceiling higher than most similar craft.

The Skyhopper's cockpit has two sections, one for the pilot and one for the passenger. Its ion afterburners in addition to its standard repulsorlift engine, enables this vehicle to achieve suborbital flight. Persons enter this vehicle through the windshields, which lift upwards to allow access to the pilot and passenger compartments. The T-16's onboard control computer is compatible with most astromech droids, allowing easy maintenance and short down time. The sensor above the cockpit is the airspeed sensor, while below the cockpit pointing aft is the fuel dump port. Also, located in near the fuel dump port is the gravity/inertia damper coils.

These craft are the mainstay in planetary militias and police forces across the Galaxy. The laser targeting system is used to train pilots for gunnery and bombing runs. For police usage, the craft is used for patrol and pursuit and with the T-16's extreme manoeuvrability makes a felon's escape difficult. With laser cannons and armour, it makes them lethal enforcers of Imperial Law. Planetary militaries also use the Skyhopper, but they add on a heavy duty laser cannon. Unfortunately, T-16s have been used as T-65 X-Wing trainers on occasion, since the craft's flight control arrangement and responsiveness are quite similar to that of the starfighter.

Found these stats here http://members.tripod.com/Tiger887/T-16Skyhop.html they seem to be D6 8)

Found it! It's in the Mos Eisley sourcebook.

[Ray]

And, for those lacking said book, I found their stats here: http://users.adelphia.net/~allard/t16.htm

[Hellcat]

Yeah, I found that site a little bit ago. Like Rancor Pit and Rebel Rolplayers Alliance, I really like that site because of all the WEG stats it provides. Just wish they'd also provide descriptions with most of the stats.
