Sounds innocent enough right? Its a little faster than a standard SRM carrier and packs less of a punch, but that isn't why your average despot(always a good customer base) is buying it. They are buying it because when you load this baby up with fragmentation munitions in the launchers she becomes a broom that sweeps away those pesky infantrymen or peaceful protesters :)

Cheap, effective and good use of standard tech. It wouldn't last long on the modern battlefield, but perfect for its intended use.

Hmm, I'd like to get her going a little faster. What would a fusion engine do for her?

Depends on what kind of battlefield I think. Toss a few in supporting an infantry action and I think they'd be ok. Put them around real tanks of 'mechs and they'd die fast though.
Takiro - Going fusion I can get it up to 5/8 by dropping half a ton of armor or an MG.

Yup. I was thinking Modern Jihad-era Battlefield. SRM Carrier (Fast) = Yikes! Still, loaded with infernos or something of similar nastiness and maybe (in a metropolitan arena) this little bugger could hand some serious hurt before dying spectacularly. ;)

Defeats the whole point of being cheap when you start adding bits like a fusion engine.

Agreed there. That and I like trying to do lower tech designs, it is more of a challenge to me.
-
I'd agree with you both. Not fit for Line Armor service still it is a nice generic design for planetary militias. Might actually use it for a Succession Wars vehicle if you don't mind. Just need to fluff it out. ;)

Use her as you need/wish to.

Very nice, i wonder if i can find a use for it ;)

Hmmmm, now I'm worried :D

Always worry when rainbow 6 starts planning something. By the by for internal suppression duties this vehicle is great because it frees up your better tech vehicles for war if you have any.
-
Don't be worried, i'm always on the lookout for good equipment to introduce to the Outworlds Alliance's production in BlackNova's First Strike universe.
Would you mind if i did put it into production?
-
Sorry Force of Habit. You never know when a gator is going to sneak up on you and tear a strip off your ASS.

This Carrier is becoming quite the popular little armored treat.

Go for it!
Hmmmm, should I post the other low-tech tank I have about? :D
-
A Light LRM Carrier? ;D
-
Low Tech beats rocks and sticks every time.
-
A Light LRM Carrier? ;D
This could easily be made into a Light LRM Carrier. Just swap out the SRM-4s for LRM-5s. Not alot of firepower though.
-
True but if you want harass and annoy you can not beat it.
