Designer's Notes

This represents my attempt to create the Vector using a more powerful powerplant than in the Striker rules. The statistics for the "Brunel TA123" powerplant are (per cu. m) output 0.8MW, 1 ton, Cr50,000, fuel 200 l/MW/hr.

Note that I created these stats before the errata came out that recommends changing the power output of the first four Striker powerplants to 0.25, 0.40, 0.60, and 0.80 respectively - meaning the "new" powerplant is no longer necessary!
