But Transports can be used to carry troops, can't they?

Fallacy said that you can't deploy onto a floor without either the !!MOTHERSHIP!! or having used your last strategic action to do scouting.

If that is the case, I'd like the Lightning Crystal. I did edit it so the Lightning Crystal stood alone. ...

Well, not like the Crater Marksman's Rifle is a bad thing.

The Javelin

The Javelin is pretty simple. A single Levitation Crystal serves as the front of the craft, and a Rocket Engine serves as the back to thrust it forward at high speed. In the Center of the assembly is the cockpit, as well as the two wings. And below the cockpit is the bomb hanger.

The Javelin is meant to use it's small size to deliver high explosives to drop on enemy Shuttle Disks and enemy formations. At the moment, we just have a bunch of high explosives primed to detonate on contact with a surface at sufficient force. The Javelin swoops in, detaches the Bomb as it curves down, and then flies back up before they can counter us. The Levitation Crystal is good for this, since it can simply increase the lift to do so. While the Rocket Engine has a nozzle to better focus the force of the thrust.

We expect it to reach long operation ranges, as rockets do better at speed. It's meant to go in, detach it's payload, and come back. The Levitation crystal mostly removes the need for a long takeoff platform, as it can lift the craft into the air. We also use smaller Levitation Crystals in it's two wings to help orient it in flight. All directed by the will of the Pilot, and some electronics to control thrust.

Well after finding out that the gun is single shot I believe it's a thing we need to focus an entire design on. As such the only option I'm willing to vote for right now is the Growth Matrix

Pretty sure you can't actually put both votes on the same thing. Also, that's not the best idea. It only affects a single type, and that is likely to be bad action economy.

G-Force Crystal Reactor
The variant of the Levitation Crystal, the G-Crystal is very good at creating force. More specifically, it can be used to apply force to things.

Therefore, we use both Levitation Crystals, and G-Crystals, in the Shuttle Disks. The Levitation Crystals levitate it, and the G-Crystals move it around a lot faster than the engines. As a bonus, we don't need oil for the new shuttle disks, as the G-Crystals apply the force to move it forward. Likewise, the increased power of the Levitation Crystals means we won't need as many to keep it up compared to the current crystals it uses.

Shit, you're right. Can't place both on the same thing. Also, fair point on the action economy bit. MoP, can you remove the word "Levitating" from the piece? That should do.

Also, perhaps an explanation, like that the thing creates raw unpowered crystals for later imbuement. Also, instead of elemental imbuements, how about something like...

Given MoP being weird.

Design Idea
Bloodthirst Will
By using our great knowledge of crystals, and how they work, we've taken steps to imbue the hatred of all things Enabrian into our some of our Soldiers with Crystals. This gives that person multiple psychic appendages extending from their back. With their Bloodthirst Will, they can extend as far as the eye can see, block bullets, toss around tanks, and slice through everything at the speed of thought. On top of greatly improving their ability to move by using them. They are invisible to those without the senses to perceive them. And by the time one sees a Bloodthirst Will User, they're already dead, as they appendages also offer a type of feeling of nearby people, most particularly Enabrians.
