Hover craft Options

[CommanderSpartan]

I was thinking for some time about Lin Kuei Ominae's Kodiak.
I saw the problem of air units unable to deployed and vice versa.
I know, I tried it myself.
So I began to think, what if we could get a hovering vehicle to deploy.
I saw few problems, for one it is a land unit so I'm sure it would deploy,
it would float over water, and be able to carry units,
but I realized that hover units couldn't fly over cliffs.
Now I was wondering, if the unit was high enough would the engine allow it to fly over?
(I highly doubt this myself)
Or is there some other way, other than make it a air unit?

Any thoughts would be helpful.

the hover loco has some more problems.
1. ground units can fire on it
2. it is affected by gas
3. it can't fly over cliffs (like you told) and there's afaik no way to force it to do
4. when deploying it won't land first, but just disappear in midair and the buildup anim starts on the ground

The best is to use the fly or jumpjet loco on a vehicletype. Then it would be invincible in air, except against railguns and firestorm defense.
Then the deploy anim should fit too, because the unit lands first..
