------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Havy Haulers are a new super heavy vehicle designed to help move HCT's gear
and extra personel off of the drop ship to the combat zone.

==Capabilities:==
Slow and ponderous the HH's are a marvel of technology 2 Heavy cargo bays and
a turret mounted quad Machine gun are typical (although some replace 2 machine
guns with 2 flamers). The real marvel is the Crew compartment the HH's are 20
feet tall and 45 feet long and 25 feet wide (roughly the same dimensions as
the HCT the HCT is longer at 55 feet long) the 3 crew compartments are located
on the top 10 feet of the vehicle along with the turret occupying the forward
compartment. The crew compartment can house 8 ocupants with each getting their
own cot and chest with minor privacy Much like the old sub compartments of
ancient Terra). Extra crew space was added for the personel that man the
trailer and guards (although crew space is generally assigned ahead of time.)
And although the space is limited and cramped the exta amenities can help with
crew moral. Several have been converted to MASH units and have special tailers
tha hold state of the art Medical facilities.

Type/Model: Heavy Cargo Trailer HCT-1
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3060
Config: Tracked Trailer
Rules: Level 3, Standard design

Mass: 200 tons
Power Plant: None
Cruise Speed: None. Trailer pulled by Tractor.
Armor Type: Standard
Armament:
1 Cargo Lift Hoist
8 Search Lights*
1 Guardian ECM
1 TAG
9 Heavy Cargo Bays*
1 Landing Pad*
Manufacturer: (Unknown)
Location: (Unknown)
Communications System: (Unknown)
Targeting & Tracking System: (Unknown)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Heavy Cargo Tailer (HCT's as they are called) are designed for Regiments
to carry massive amounts of cargo 10 heavy cargo bays are located on the
trailer for general gear/food supplies/spare parts, ect. Some have even been
converted to mass ammo carriers (in these cases the 4 bays are removed and
armor and Case systems are added to the bins, it seldom helps.)

==Capabilities:==
Capable of hauling thousands of tons of supplies the HCT's are usually
connected to a Heavy hauler and moved from the drop ship to the staging area.
Several versions of the HCT's exsist some for hospital supplies, ammo, food,
spare parts,mobile bases, mobile repair bays, and a couple rumors of Artillery
trailers. Standard is as turret with a massive crane, also standard are pairs
of Search lights mounted around the vehicle to aid in loading and unloading
during low light periods. A reinforced section of the trailer acts as a
loading bay for VTOLS, generally during times of war VTOL munitions are spread
around the HCT's so they can be quickly refuled and rearmed with less down
time. A small mobile HQ was aded to assist in the loading and unloading of
supplies as well as control the drive train and assist in VTOL operations. In
a odd twist Tag was added to act as a distance spotter for the crane operator.

The Miracle as they are known are state of the art MASH stations. The 3 Triage
wards can take care of up to 6 wounded at a time, and the recovery ward can
accomadate up to 12 recovering wounded each. Occasinally working with the Halo
or the Angel the Miracle can then become part of a huge medicle complex as
there are access ways build into the triage wards and the recovery wards.
Though highly priced the company allows for lease programs and purchase to
own. A couple Medical mercenary units have popped up latley, the "Holy boys"
and the "Plasma for hire" Both ofer their services to anyone that needs them
both make use of the Miracle and the HH "Savior" to tow the Miracle. The
Advanced HQ attached to the rear of the Miracle is used to coordinate Medical
and out patient care as well as monitor what is happening in the current
conflict.

I like these ideas, except for the fact that dropships would need to be modified to carry them in a vehicle bay.

I especially liked the idea of a mercenary medical unit... I'm reading the revised FM: Mercs, so that may be part of it

But back to the merc medics... hmm, sounds like DocWagons from Shadowrun!

I have been hounding the wife to let me get Aerotech pro but so far to no avail . I was working on the storage method for them in my head I think that modifying bays would be necessary. Or a new design specifically for transporting the super heavy tanks and what not.

Since super heavy tanks are Lvl 3, I don't think there are rules regarding vehicle bays for anything that big (I could be wrong though, I'm away from my manuals for a while). Instead of modifying dropship designs, you could always just include them in the general cargo mass.

Or you can extrapolate from the current rules. A light vehicle bay (up to 50 tons) takes up 100 tons, while a heavy vehicle bay (up to 100 tons) takes up 150 tons (just like for mechs and aerofighters). What I'm guessing is that it takes 50 tons beyond the weight of the vehicle to account for the storage hardware (straps and etc), the loading and unloading equipment, and the living facilities for the crews and technical support of the vehicles.
