What is the source(s) for this? Scaletail 16:43, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

• I used to compile a list of BattleTech spaceships (names, type, affiliation, fluff). This list is over 10 years old, but I found an entry for the "Kick Ass Special", a "Vampire" class dropship described as a small aerodyne jump-infantry carrier in service of House Davion. This part at least seems to be canonical; the information was noted by myself to come from the House Davion sourcebook, which I don't have so cannot check now. However, it seems no technical specs/game sheet (tonnage, armour, equipment, etc.) was provided for the ship class or I would have noted that as well. Btw, do we have a project: spaceships here? Seeing the list again, it might be useful for the Wiki. Frabby 07:27, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

I found the reference in HD, but I cannot find any canon stats for it and a search of the CBT forums turned up nothing on it. It's not listed in Aerotech 2, or even the list of troop-carrying DropShips in Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised. As for a project for ASFs, and 'Ships, I don't know of anything, but there's no reason why you cannot start one. Even if you don't, we can sure use articles for them in the same manner as the 'Mechs. --Scaletail 18:16, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

Is the information on Chaosmarch.com canon? I doubt it, because of the disclaimer they put on the page. The picture indicates that there is a true canon source in one of the books though - it would be good to know which one. The background information in the article also sounds as if taken from a sourcebook; some of it can be taken from the article in the Davion Housebook but the part about the engines, interesting as it may be, currently lacks any reference to a canon source.
