What can you tell us about the brief for the Anvil Valkyrie?
TL;DRThe Valkyrie was designed from the ground up as a dropship for planetary assault carrying twenty people, grew from a smaller original brief, and has side door guns Chris wanted.
It's a dropship. It was designed from the ground up as a dropship. The original brief was for quite a small dropship, but as people got wind of it, they were, oh, we can use this. We can put a bit more in.
It became a bit more multifunctional.
Yeah, but at the end of the day, 20 people, one vehicle. It's designed for going from a big carrier like the Bengal or a planet down to the ground. It's not designed for space boarding or anything like that. There's plenty of people who have already come up to me and have gone, if I open the door, it's going to vent everything. Yes, it's designed for planetary assault.
And I noticed it's got those really cool side door guns, like the old Huey helicopters from Vietnam movies.
Yeah, Chris was really keen on getting those in.
It was a challenge, but we got there in the end. Had lots of people shouting some things when it happened in the demo.
