-Description: Covenant dropships are angular, horseshoe-shaped craft with personnel bays along the exterior of each "leg." Between the extended personnel bays, an energy field fluctuates visibly as it generates the ship's antigravity propulsion (similar in appearance to the energy pulse of the "gravity lift" elevators the Covenant use to commute between the ground and hovering ships). In addition to the pilot, the ship is crewed by a single gunner for the underslung bubble-shaped plasma-gun turret-similar to the shade but with a higher rate of fire. Each troop bay can hold four fully equipped Covenant warriors, who deploy when the long panel doors on the bays swing downward as the ship approaches the ground. NOTE: you cannot control the dropship in any campaign or multiplayer level. |
