I'd like to think of it like this, if you fight with a tech and the weapons onboard said tech, you're a lancer. If you ARE the weapon, you're a trooper
Yes
No, troopers are infantry units, if you choose to be in the trooper corp, you will be promoted into a knight, which commands 10-15 troopers in a squad, you yourself will be leading the squad on the field, with the knight block that NOVA modpack has provided, for instance, as showed in this ambush exercise, the squad leader is in the center, armed with a particle rifle, with a spartan-like decoration on the helmet
Had to drop work on the large transport do to "budge problems" as such Nova's logistics command is moving to smaller craft, right now they are working on replacing their stinger transports with a new more advanced design. Bellow are prototype images sent to high command.
Using swivels this new transport can rotate its main props for control, allowing for quick key control. IT is crewed by a three man crew including one gunner, and one pilot, the third will be a cargo "officer" when the ship is done.
I plan on releasing it some time later today or tomorrow with a few varriants the troop transport, a FoB deployer, vehicle deployer, and supply transport.

well you never know when we will need to takeover a space station or stage a planetary invasion
Nova Troopers deploying from a Spider drop ship investigating the crash site of a stinger supply ship. Survivors have been brought into the spider for medical care while supply crew and infantry investigate the crash.
The "Flying spider" is the latest Nova logistics build designed to transport between 8 and 16 soldiers onto the battlefield, it also comes with a large cargo hold which can be retrofit to carry supplies to areas in need.
In the images above a spider was deployed after a Stinger sent out a distress signal, as the pilot died on impact and the co-pilot is currently in a coma it is unknown who or what attacked the ship.
Bellow is the snapshot for the flying spider. Sorry for the internal image.
Intel report on the spider.
crew: one pilot, 2 gunners.
Defense: 1x chaingun, 1x heavy missile array
Cargo hold: 8-16 soldiers or 24 if seats are removed, 3 tons of cargo hold space.
unit weight: 70 tons (not actual weight)
required mods: I forget but at least swivels, Rafs, and blacklabs.
Troopers is the ground, close range ops class. They specialize in ground combat, and infantry warfare. Also takes care of defensive systems like base complexes and turrets
lancers are the space and midair combat class, with antigrav starships and hovercraft.
Lancers fight with their vehicles, troopers fight with their guns is the tldr
yes, it is somewhat unclear
also i wouldnt hold your breath to get imperator, ive been around for a good bit and am still only commodore i think
I'll be trooper because I wanna make Nova themed stuff like wheels cab weapons all touch ground
I wouldnt really sweat it, i still make ground-based techs and trooper-class nova techs all of the time
pretty sure thats fine
Well another way to distinguish between lancer and trooper is that lancer corp is equivalent to air force and navy, while troopers are equivalent to army and marine
