Lightning
General Information
The "Lightning" is the second UFO-based craft that the R&D department have developed.
Whilst its primary role is that of troop transporter, unlike the Skyranger it also has a single hardpoint for mounting a weapon.
The "Lightning" is looked down upon by the majority of X-COMs Commanders. Whilst it is a significantly faster craft than the Skyranger, it cannot carry Heavy Weapons Platforms to missions, and has a reduced cargo area.
