-The Troop Carrier Module itself is composed of a cheap and lightweight composite of [[material:durandium]] and [[material:adnr|ADNR]] layers. In addition, its armored body is very thick, measuring a full foot at its base to defend against ground fire. Due to the spacious design, the passenger area can accommodate an entire platoon of typical Yamataian power armors - up to forty in total. At the very rear, a station is present which controls the rear facing ball turret and autocannons integrated into the troop carrier section of the craft. The interior has no seats, but has an integrated stabilization system which allows personnel to stand undisturbed during turbulence. A pair of microfusion generators provide redundant energy production to power the system.+The Troop Carrier Module itself is composed of a cheap and lightweight composite of [[materials:durandium]] and [[materials:adnr|ADNR]] layers.

 In the case that the stabilization system malfunctions, overhead handgrips can be found among the equipment racks, with foot clamps neatly integrated into the floor to secure personnel in place. These are easily entered and exited, using a direct contact command system and a local power source in the form of batteries or capacitors. In the case that the stabilization system malfunctions, overhead handgrips can be found among the equipment racks, with foot clamps neatly integrated into the floor to secure personnel in place.

 The HLM has the gunship dispense with the common belly slung bay and instead attaches to it a heavy lift module capable of carrying even tanks. As a result, it carries no troop complement, but still retains its basic armament. One of the key differences however, is that the tail gun is either set to automatically defend the vehicle, or be controlled by the co-pilot. Though the added weight of carrying vehicles affects its handling, the speed and acceleration is only marginally affected. The HLM has the gunship dispense with the common belly slung bay and instead attaches to it a heavy lift module capable of carrying even tanks.

-The hull of the light gunship is primarily composed of [[material:adnr|ADNR]] lattice encased in a coating of [[material:durandium]] to provide ample structural integrity - the more malleable material provides some degree of give, preventing shattering. Meanwhile, the harder material makes up for the softer material's lack of hardness and in turn prevents deformation. +The hull of the light gunship is primarily composed of [[materials:adnr|ADNR]] lattice encased in a coating of [[materials:durandium]] to provide ample structural integrity - the more malleable material provides some degree of give, preventing shattering.

-For the canopy of the cockpit, the material used is [[:material:transparent_durandium]], which can have its opacity adjusted by the crew. To compensate for the weaker, lighter material used, it is far thicker, measuring a little over a foot thick. The armor for the craft itself is technically 'composite' due to the use of more than one material; the majority of the armor plates' composition is [[:material:yamataium]], a hard, tough, heat resistant metal capable of some degree of self-repair. This is backed by layers of insulation to prevent energy weapons and radiation harming the interior. Due to its properties, the tank's Yamataium armor is also coated with a 5mm thick layer of [[material:durandium]] to simply maintain its aesthetics and prevent deformation.+For the canopy of the cockpit, the material used is [[materials:transparent_durandium]], which can have its opacity adjusted by the crew.

 To put it short, this vehicle is a combat vehicle in comparison to the [[stararmy:vehicles:type_33_grav_apc|Yusou APC]] - it is slower and less maneuverable than the Yusou, but has more firepower available on hand. Not only that, but it has a higher troop capacity and has better armor and shields. This means that the two complement each other, with one deploying troops and possibly loitering to provide fire support, while the other is best suited to ferrying in safe zones behind friendly lines, as well as moving goods and supplies. The downside of the Jinsoku Taka - swift hawk - is that it is fairly larger and won't fit in the same places as the latter Yusou. To put it short, this vehicle is a combat vehicle in comparison to the [[stararmy:vehicles:type_33_grav_apc|Yusou APC]] - it is slower and less maneuverable than the Yusou, but has more firepower available on hand.

-In RP, it is meant to bring troops into places that may have light AA and deploy its troops or vehicles before backing off, only coming in to provide fire support when the anti-aircraft fire is not too heavy to lend ground forces valuable support. In a sense, a good reference material would be the Combine Gunship from Half Life 2 for an example. These make use of their autocannons, which are loaded with armor piercing, high explosive, incendiary shells which have a reasonable splash damage. Mini-missiles also supplement its armament, and any additional crew members inside the troop carrier module are quite likely to attach additional manned door cannons with gunshields. The [[.:weapons:35mm_machine_gun_type_30|Type 30 35mm Machine Gun]] is well suited to this, since it doesn't draw additional power, and has a good selection of Armor Piercing and High Explosive rounds which can be mixed together on the belt.+In RP, it is meant to bring troops into places that may have light AA and deploy its troops or vehicles before backing off, only coming in to provide fire support when the anti-aircraft fire is not too heavy to lend ground forces valuable support.
