Description I've been wanting to do an update of this for quite a long time. Some designs were tweaked, but it's all generally the same. The original can be found here. [link]

Anyway, for those who aren't familiar, this was inspired by the troop classes of Star Wars: Battlefront, one of my favorite games.

Reposting the class descriptions from the original (with some tweaking)

"Imperial Trooper/Armada Marine
The basic fighting units of the army. Come equipped with a repeating laser rifle, grenades, and a pistol sidearm.
Marines in Battlefront are used to aid Pilots during space battles and boarding raids. Marines are equipped with rocket launchers in place of pistol sidearms.
Imperial Demolisher
Specialized troops designed for hard hitting. They carry a rocket launcher, grenades, a pistol, and can lay mines. They are most effective when used to take out enemy vehicles.
Irken Sharpshooter
Troops best utilized at long range. Hey carry a high powered, scoped beam rifle, grenades, pistol, and an auto turret. An auto turret is a small stationary weapon that rotates to attack nearby enemies. For the Irkens, I gave them a loyal S.I.R. unit.
Imperial Technician
Technicians are best used as support. They are equipped with a shotgun for close range combat. Instead of a pistol, Technicians carry a fusion cutter that can be used to construct turrets or repair damaged objects. They are also able to use the fusion cutter to slice into and disable enemy vehicles. This class has the ability to dispense ammo and health packets to other troops. The Technician's final weapon is a bomb that can be layed and detonated when the Technician is at a safe distance.
Armada Pilot
Pilots obviously fly stuff. Along with the Marines, they can only be used in space battles. A pilot's main weapon is a pistol. They also carry a fusion cutter, much like the Technician, to repair ships or droids. A pilot automatically repairs a vehicle when piloting a craft. The pilot also has a powerful timed explosive.
Special classes:
Special classes are units unique to the particular faction.
Invaders are able to infiltrate enemy lines through clever disguises. This way they can wreak havoc. They may be possible for them to accidentaly blow their cover or be attacked by one of their own team mates if still disguised. Carry a shotgun, pistol, and time bombs.
The Irken Elites are the pride of the Irken army. They posses enhanced durability and power at the cost of slightly decreased mobility. They carry a heavy repeating cannon, pistol, and an ability to boost the armor of surrounding friendly troops."

And thank you. I whole heartedly encourage you to make one of your own.

There is currently Battlefront 4 in the works and should be ready when the new consoles come out ie PS4 and the new Xbox.
[Battlefront 3 got canceled and Lucasarts skipped ahead to start working on Battlefront 4, there's allot information on the Gameinformer website forums as well insidegaming and lucasarts forms].

I, I actually went "EEE" like a girl when I saw this. Irken Battlefront? I would love an actual game of this.

These are amazing. I'm thrilled you're revisiting your IZ BF designs.

Damn. That Sharpshooter is friggin' rad. And I think the Technician is cute for some reason. Of course, all the others are brilliant too.

Excellent work.

*spazzes* I'll be looking forward to that post!

If it's still okay with you, I'm still interested in referencing your designs (with full credit to you) in future chapters of BTE. I know it's been months since we first discussed it (and I've been sort of inactive on DA) but I'm going to be picking up the pace on the comic very soon.

I love seeing Invader Zim art and I love seeing Star Wars art. To see art inspired from both is a wonderful thing indeed.
