All I ever had to do was ditch the self-defense laser, and it's soooo much better.

i suggest u call an infantry carrier on this Chassis "spam", and the lrm-fire Support vee "beans", then the vee with the cannon would be named egg.
so the code for a unit of three infantry carriers and a LRM-carrier would be "spam beans spam and spam"
a unit of four infantry carriers would be "spam spam spam and spam"
to ask for fire Support would Sound like a Food order."can we have extra beans for our spam beans spam and spam?"

Then you go for the absurd stand-off weapon, losing the mine-clearance ability, and ditch the AMS for Reactive
