Here's an idea how about a UD-4 gunship mod only guns and missiles (yeah already heavily armed but MORE) with doorgunners (matsuo gave me that idea) with a tail like an A-10 for more lift and stability. How to figure the load out though. Railguns mounted under the belly no drop door inside loaded with gunnery and targeting computers and loads of ECM.....

Some of you talented guys should be able to dream something up?

The tech manual mentions the UD-4C model was a gunship, most of its weapons systems carried over into the -4L variant. There was also the CS-14 "Briareos" gunship plus the AD-19C/D "Bearcat" and AD-17A "Cougar" strikeships. Those would be really cool to see realized.

It's just a brief mention. Page 55 if you have the tech manual.

UD-4C
- A gunship variant, this was the first to employ the secondary weapon bay and a dedicated gatling gun system.

There was also that chap that rund the Aliens paper model site. I think he made up a few plans for something like this and released the zip file on the previous AL board.

*edit*
scratch that. He has an art page on his site with some really good renderings he did, but I can't seem to find a link to it.

Yeah, I wish he'd finish up the colony before doing other things.

I think a simple mod would be to mount gun pods under the front weapons mounts and some some sort of ECM pod.
