I'll take four please. It's just a shame that the LACs are L3 tech.

I agree on the LAC issue, I have gotten my group to agree that we can use them in our level 2 games. Wish Randall would make them Level 2.

Indeed it did. Thank you for the link.
Your version is an interesting infantry support unit.

You can put turrets on a VTOL now? or is that just cosmetic fluff? anyways, I'am more of a fan of the yellow-jacket VTOL types. Yours is stupid fast, but its main gun is weak. It'd make a good harrassing unit, if it stays outta range of most vehicles or mechs, and its not threatening enough to really provoke
any serious attempts to go and kill it. But, for its expense, thin armor and low-powered weapons, i dunno, the infantry capicity just sorta confuses its purpose, whatever that might be.

MaxTech rule book allows it at level three and now it's pretty common on stuff in the Jihad and post Jihad world of 3145.
