<div class="IPBDescription">about SC player models</div> A lot of work as been going into the up and coming SC conversion pack but I am cinfused about one thing...
Will the marine be the light or heavy modle, and what of the ghost or other possible models if you thing the standard marien is a little too "big" to fit the role of light marine.
In an earlier post the argument over marine and ghost went back and forth.... according to SC ghosts would NOT be calling in standard marines for backup, though the ghost model is smaller and more representitive of a light marine. Also I found somewhere that a marine with a jetpack would look rediculous and the jetpacking light marine should probably be left to a ghost.
I dont know, asthetic or game contridiction, has anyone started making any of these models or have they considered this?

If the Ghost becomes the light marine i hope the ghost is a generic one that doesn't look too distinctive. It would stupid to have 15 ghosts like the girl starring in the upcoming Ghost game, running around.
I'd personally rather see civies as the LA and then the Marines as the HA. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
i also chose them to be light armor cuz i don't see heavy very often and i just love looking at the model... it's so sweet! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
i think a bulky firebat would do nicely for HA... although having a ghost as LA and a marine as HA wouldn't be bad either.
Here are some ref pics of SC goliaths if anyone cares:

Um, google kept turning up random crap that definatly was not a goliath so here are some pics of ED 209 from Robocop which is generally a similar concept.

that's exactly the same reason that i use it as light marine too.
i mean, sure, ghosts and civilians can be light marines, but Starcraft without those space suits marines is just not like starcraft.
BUT IT'S NATURAL SELECTION!
They are the Teir 1 basic unit that Terrans get.
A Fire Bat would make a nice Heavy Armor replacement

Oh and the goliath is out of the question, it has no hands.
Sirus is one of the few people talking sense on this issue around here.
