 ==== About and History ==== ==== About and History ====
  
-The Jinsoku Taka was designed to be a general purpose transport and combat craft. By default, it is configured as a light gunship in terms of armament, but can also take on different modules. As a result, it may be used as a troop carrier, light gunship, or heavy lift vehicle. As a light gunship, it is not only fast, but more nimble than it looks; it is well capable of high maneuverability due to it's propulsion systems and can quickly turn to face threats or retreat. With the proper attachment, the vehicle easily serves as a troop transport which can carry an entire platoon of power armored infantry into combat, while with the heavy lift module may carry heavy vehicles and shipping containers. Perhaps most importantly, is that the vehicle is capable of leaving a planet's gravity well by 'gliding' out under its own power. Though this requires maximum power diverted to propulsion and produces turbulence, the ability itself is valuable, as it means that a pickup ship descending into orbit is not necessary.+The Jinsoku Taka was designed to be a general purpose transport and combat craft.

 Unlike others of the "Jinsoku" series, the Jinsoku Taka was not developed from a predecessor vehicle - instead, it was a collaboration between organizations for a role which was not being adequately filled by preexisting vehicles, using expertise from both Origin and Ketsurui Zaibatsu. Unlike others of the "Jinsoku" series, the Jinsoku Taka was not developed from a predecessor vehicle - instead, it was a collaboration between organizations for a role which was not being adequately filled by preexisting vehicles, using expertise from both Origin and Ketsurui Zaibatsu.

-A Conformal Psionic Signal Control Device had been added to protect the crew and passengers, generating a conformal area around the vehicle from being affected by psionic anomalies or attacks. The device prevents direct mental assault on the crew members inside, as well as subversion, intrusion and direct control. In addition, psyionic based attacks are often disrupted or dissipated altogether upon entering the conformal field emitted by the system. +A Conformal Psionic Signal Control Device had been added to protect the crew and passengers, generating a conformal area around the vehicle from being affected by psionic anomalies or attacks.

 ==== Propulsion ==== ==== Propulsion ====
  
-The Taka relies on a triple set of graviton propulsion devices for both movement, and enhanced maneuverability. It's primary graviton system is located within the main hull of the craft behind armor, allowing it to remain operational to some capacity even if the craft is attacked and takes damage. The other two graviton units however, are located on special verniers at the tail of the craft. By moving these, the graviton field projected by them has controlled warps and distortions introduced, allowing the gunship to be more maneuverable, but without the usage of more higher end field projectors. As the graviton system used does not require a planetary field to interact with, the vehicle is also able to operate in space.+The Taka relies on a triple set of graviton propulsion devices for both movement, and enhanced maneuverability. Its primary graviton system is located within the main hull of the craft behind armor, allowing it to remain operational to some capacity even if the craft is attacked and takes damage.

 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.
