------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Skycrane represents an unusual VTOL in that not only can it carry cargo
to various desitnations, but thanks to its own cargo hoist mechanism and
detatchable cargo bay it can drop and pick up goods while still airborne; this
ability gives the unit a definitive edge in both combat and civilian emergency
situations.

==Capabilities:==
Rules concerning pick-up/drop-off in flight:

1. Drop-off or pick-up can occur during both the weapons fire and movement
phases of a round.

2. Pilot must make a piloting skill roll at a +1 penalty to avoid spilling
cargo; if cargo is spilt then both the Skycrane (representing the bay; damage
to front of unit) and the cargo take normal falling damage.

3. If Skycrane takes any damage while attempting the drop/retrieval, then
another piloting skill roll is required at the same +1 penalty. Handle 20 pts
damage and rotor damage as normal, with the +1 modifier in place.
