Based on the sucess of the Fire Wisp the Hive is a ultra fast infantry
response vehicle with respectable fire power. Capable of carrying a full point
of elementals into combat and some gear.

==Capabilities:==
Earily designs of the craft had the elementals kneeling after several
deployments elementals assigned to these vehicles showed a sharp decrease in
their overall performance. Later a special folding seat was added for the
elementals to sit on improving comfort and again keeping the vehicle profile
low to the ground, To make room for the elemental point the Pulse lasers were
removed and changed to a pair of Light Machine guns. A slight decrease in
armor was needed to make the unit viable.

==Deployment==
Currentely only deployed with Snow Raven Elemental units the newly christened
Hive is still undergoing tests it is figured that once it completes it trials
it will be sold to the Diamond Sharks.

ok. this i like. even with the use of fractional accounting which i'll forgive at this weight level.

the only i dislike. it uses XL. even for the clans that a dislike. i'd even think they'd dislike the waist it causes as this is a popcorn chicken unit.

i mean, ya it moves 14/21. ya it carries a point of elementals. ya its got guns. its still a vehicle. i mean other then raw speed you could do this thru a dasher [firemoth] and get better support.

but as i like this i'll forget that. my suggestion thou... dump the twin LMGs for a SPL, or Twin MicroPL, or a ER ML, or my fav a heavy ML. you've got the fusion engine and heat sinks, lets put a hard hitting energy weapon on that turret.

oh and just fyi... if you drop the XL for a standard you can still get 10/15 out of it and if you go with a ICE you still get 9/13 but gotta keep the LMGs. just thought i'd point that out.
