You've got money, and are commuted to living off of a DropShip, so you are willing to pay millions to not lug around fuel: What do you do for an armored personal carrier?

I'd heard it was bad form to shove so many troops into an APC, and so I'd burnt years on builds that broke other chunks of doctrine, but I think I just have to double-down, and stick to this engine.

Reactive armor, when your troop are huddled just outside, seems like a necessary evil, after all this time.

I hope to hand-wave in the instant-trench thing from Hammers' Slammers, using the bow missile rack …
