WC1-2 Marines...?

Mr. Standoff
Okay, so we've all escorted Marine LCs in WCP, and there were those shuttles and the little one-man pods in WC4, but...

What ship did the marines use to board other craft during the WC1-WC2 period? Draymans? Clydesdales? Free Traders? I'm guessing that all of those are too big to be used as boarding craft, except maybe the Clydesdale.... but anyway... can someone shed some light on the subject?

Update: I just noticed the Clydesdale is 70 meters long, I never thought it was over 40... so it's still too darned big to be a boarding craft.

TIA,

Well AFAIK i remember in WC1 or SM1 or SM2 a Marine Squadron from Norway is transported in a Drayman.
But what they use for boarding another craft ???? i don´t know.
 
A variant of the Drayman (with a larger crew!) was the Marine LC of the WC1 era... we see 'em used in Secret Missions 2 (among other places) when they attack Firekka. They can go underwater and stuff!

Marines have special Marine Transports, which are like carriers that hold lots of Draymans.
 
Underwater? Whoa... not bad for a container with two engines and a bridge... not bad at all! <g>

Well, thanks for the info, LOAF! :)

I don't know, maybe the type of propulsion could be a problem.
But I'm really not so into the details of the WC universe.

Yeah, ok, ok, so maybe it was stupid not to realize how similiar both envirorments are.

I would think flying through nebulea would be as hard as flying through water on engines and shields and whatnot.

No you weren't, they're nothing alike. Outer space, for all intents and purposes, is a vacuum, while a body of water is packed a bit tighter with stuff, I'd imagine.

Nebulae are filled with gas. Any gas is a bit easier to go through than a liquid such as water. Also, I doubt any craft could use water as a source of fuel the way they could a nebula. I'd imagine a ship underwater would be limited by the size of its contained fuel supply, where a ship in space could just open its scoops and grab some loose hydrogen.
 
Perhaps he is thinking of way water is used to simulate the feeling of weightlessness in astronaut training?
 
The Scandinavian penisula has Sweden and Norway on it. Finland is on the other side of the Gulf of Bothnia, next to Russia. I am not sure if Denmark is considered part of Scandinavia cause it is on the European mainland (connected to Northern Germany. There is a waterway between Copenhagen (capital of Denmark) and Malmo (in Sweden) that separates the two countries (and the peninsula and continental Europe). Well thats enough geography for one day ;).
