Can anyone tell me how to figure a vehicles weight? The Rigger's BB
gives everything but weight, and I have found myself needing to figure
the weight of a Thunderbird Banshee variant in a campaign I am running
right now.

I just guesstimate the weights of vehicles. A medium-sized car will be
around 700 to 1000 kg, limos a lot more, Runabouts a lot less. A GMC
Banshee is like a modern IFV, so it would probably weigh some 25 to 35
tons, although of course the fact that it has to fly might cause for
weight reductions, to say 20 or 25 tons.

I think you would have to take a guess. I'd guess 20 to 25 tonnes for
something like a Banshee.
