So, I was goofing around with trying to figure out the vehicle rules for Rigger 3. And after a day of flipping to and fro through the rules this is what I came up with. I decided to make a tank killer and ground support craft in the tradition of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and its descendant, the A-10 Thunderbolt (AKA the Wart Hog.) After all the work, figured I might as well throw it out here and see what everyone, (or at least everyone who sees this thread) has to say.

Thunderbolt III

Handling 4 Speed 250/900 Acceleration 45 Body 6 Armor 22 Signature 4 Autonavigation 2 Sensor 8 Cargo 17 Load 3,756 Seating 1e Entry 1c Fuel 10,000 litres Economy .1 km/l S/B - L/T VSTOL +10% Chassis Thunderbird SI YR Availability NA Cost 5,630,000$.

Other Features: CMC 6, Drive-by-Wire 1, Structural Agility 1, Rigger Adaption, Enviro Seal, 10 hours life support, Thermal Baffles 2, Internal Hardpoint, 2 CF worth of ammo, Gunnery Recoil Adjustment 9, Heavy Launch Control System, 2 Medium Launch Control Systems, 2 Reinforced Missile Mounts, 4 Standard Missile/ Rocket Mounts, ECM 7 ECCM 7

So, there you go. Likely armed with a Victory Autocannon, though I'm considering ripping out the Recoil Adjustment and going with a rail or naval gun of some sort. Did most of this by hand, so the math may be off a bit. Still working out the fluff, thinking of going in later and adding some with shadowtalk and the whole shebang, but can't think of any right now. Not something a runner'll ever see, but I had fun doing it, so what the heck?
