cool, but how is this a command tank?

And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

I dunno, how was the original? I'm just using the same name.

The original was overweight to represent its C&C systems (that never got any game stats AFAIK). If it had been designed today it would (should) have been 70 tons with a couple of tons of comm gear.

So my suggestion for the OP is to drop some armor for comm gear (and I'd add an ERML as well).

Of course it can- the only issue is, if the gun gets hit it won't make that much difference.

I don't know how I "feel" about the XL engine, but the use of so much defensive equipment makes me think of this being a big-deal commander's ride. If you really wanted to you could add back that Nisaraki computer (the lyrans can make them again after 3068) for a half ton, but I don't remember what it could do.

I'm going to type up your response, print it, fold it in half, and look at it like a I would a centerfold. THAT's how sexy your answer was.

FWIW, I do intend to use it with the Battle Computer quirk, to represent the Nirasaki.

Actually, it cannot. Tactical Operations lists availability as "Available to:BM, IM, AF, CF". Sarna notes something about "enhanced effectiveness of CASE in vehicles" as being the reason for this.

Did the Nirasaki get statted up somewhere?

I was thinking, add some communications equipment to represent the 'command' ability.

Personally, I'd like to make use of those 10 SHS.  Possibly a LPL or a ER LL ... go with only 12-14 tons of standard FF armor?
