Anyone else want to see the STAP introduced?
For those who are unsure of what they are, here it is:

STAPs are lightweight reconnaissance and patrol vehicles used by the battle droids of the Trade Federation army (and later, the Separatist Alliance). Incorporating repulsorlift technology, the STAP (single trooper aerial platform) is a slim, agile craft sporting a pair of blaster cannons. STAPs are often deployed as support vehicles in conjunction with larger craft.
I think they would be a viable option to match the AT-RT (which I know is not in the speeder class), maybe as a speeder class for the Seperatists. Not on Kamino but on Naboo and Kashyyyk. I would love to see a heavier Republic option instead of the AT-RT in the heavier class.
Abilities could be a radar scan, laser barrage and heat sink, with a primary focus on its good speed. Could also introduce a buff to the ion torpedo to make a viable counter against it.
Thoughts on this?

Yeah good points. I'd have it costing around 800 so it wouldn't be spammed as per the LIUVs on Starkiller Base. If they were brought onto Naboo and Kashyyyk they would only be needed for 2/3 phases anyway.
I had never seen that, looks beautiful
WANT.
Good idea, anti-turret build would be really good. Might have to have decent HP to take them on though.
I was thinking the speed would be its main defense. Agile and quick enough to get in close to turrets, drop an EMP mine with a 3m blast radius and get out. A 3 second delay from time it is dropped to going boom would give the STAP time to bug out as well. The EMP mine would do 100 points of damage to all vehicles (including the STAP who dropped it) and turrets and reset the countdown on Ion Disruptor shots. Minimal damage to troops - 50hp?

It would be cool to escort a juggernaut or AT-TE
That's what they'll have on geonosis.
Thats a great idea. Would help the team too stopping ion turrets

I agree. They should slot into the Speeder class. And the Republic should get the BARC speeder to go head to head with it
For the Separatists, they can bring in the NR-N99 Persuader (snail droid). There are some that appear in Kashyyyk as part of the battle environment

True. I guess it would depend on if you can fly up/down though or whether it would stay at a sustained height like other vehicles do
Yes we need this vehicle for the clones and rebels
Yes to the TX-130, would love it to go head to head with the AAT.
The AT-RT should not be in the same class as the AAT and AT-ST, but it isn't a Speeder either, so it definitely would need its own class, rivalled by the CIS LM-432 Crab Droid.

It's radar could also act as a jammer, or it can be a separate ability or Star Card.
"It would essentially ruin the eras and turn them into nothing much more than the same thing and same experience but with a different skin. Which is contrary to the point in having eras in the first place." - ZmanGames
The crab droid would be great. That, or the mini tri-droids seen on Utapau
I think the Crab Droid would be a better pick just for it being a similar size and speed to the AT-RT, even in terms of weapons, they are pretty close
Okay, fair enough for weapons and speed. I took a look at the AT-RT again last night and it's much smaller than I remember, honestly.
Perhaps if we ever get Utapau we could get the mini tri-droid as a replacement for the AAT, since they seem to be relatively similar in size. A good size reference can be found at 1:43,
