During the Europa Campaign, the Gargoyle Rocket Variant became the most commonly used, due to its rapid fire making it an excellent Anti-Air gunship. Gargoyle pilots quickly racked up many kills against CEU pilots, supported by GTA fire from Threshers and turret emplacements.

The gunship was built and tested within a Martian Atmosphere, therefore, in theory, it should work better in thicker atmospheres, and is more responsive in lower gravity.

For night flying, there are 3 lights (2 front, 1 below) for flying. I have also included a proximity warning system, that will sound an alarm whenever you are within 5m of the ground. You can use the sensor to adjust these parameters, or turn off the sound block from the pilot's seat if you wish to fly low without being annoyed.

Note that the side thrust exists solely to stabilize your hover. You should treat the gunship similarly to a helicopter, in that, when turning, it is important to bank to the side to stop your sideways movement with the downward thrust, but do not bank so much that you begin to fall.
