So, err, it can carry 7 guys w jump packs or 10 guys on foot, three VTOLs per platoon. The 0.5t cargo space actually represents pintle mounts on each side w up to 500kg of medium infantry support weapons and ammo.

You can actually do this on 4 tons if you reduce armor to 0.5t, and only allocate 700kg to infantry, leaving 300kg for pintle mounted weapons. MPs go up to 18/27, cost to 40k c-bills, BV50.

That looks a lot like a Ferret to me...

Well, shit, it does. Too much stuff to remember.

Eh, just call it a variant... there can never be too many Ferret variants!

Speaking of variants... here's a fusion powered one that can provide decent protection to a single squad. Granted, it needs fractional accounting to get there, but it's still quite cheap (just over 68,000 C-Bills). SAW won't quite be able to reproduce it because it doesn't apply fractional accounting to the controls for some reason.
