M7A Jackal Light Strike Vehicle

Description
Hey folks, another upload without any RP fluff to go with it. I'll keep things pretty short, though. The M7A Jackal is the Neo-VA take on the standard military light utility truck, like a Jeep, Humvee, or Growler. It's cheap, no thrusters, no mass blocks. Designed to be put into an air-carry configuration and carried on the external hardpoints of one of my dropships. Seats 4, very limited cargo capacity, gatling turret on top, some very basic and limited mod usage. Power is provided only by one battery, no reactors, no connectors for recharging. The power usage is so low that you will probably wreck it before you run the battery down. Blueprint is loaded up with tools, ammo, components to replace a wheel with. No piston jacks. Four gyros so that you can keep it from tipping in turns, or make sure you land on your wheels if you go over a jump, or flip it back over if you roll it, etc. The suspension is set up so you can steer it just fine without needing to use the gyros to turn, no need to use the mouse or arrow keys while driving, just a little Q and E in fast turns to counter body roll.

Despite its bare bones nature, still has the bits you'd expect. Antenna, ore detector, RC, projector, auto LCDs (with Whiplash's Compass and Bearing script incorporated into the main display).

BP of the air-carry config can be found here:
