Simply cost it as a VTOL (+500% BPV) and add the drop capability (+25%
total cost). Include any lesser movement modes for free.

Fighters are already the most expensive craft to design. There's no reason to
say that all fighters in the future don't have VTOL as standard capabilities.
Remember, aircraft in "Hover" mode are horribly vulnerable to missiles and
direct fire weapons in the DSII rules. It alleviates the problem of airstrips,
and aerospace fighters would need 360 degree thrust capability for space
movement anyway; so no extra cost required.

the only problem with tis is that as a Grav vehicle, it is more robust than
a VTOL, none of the armor/weapon limitations of VTOL's

Works for me.

Ah, I wasn't clear enough. Just cost the movement as VTOL, leave the rest the
same. Being in a universe specific setting allows the changes, as long as
they're consistant across all players.
