My personal take on what a "Rigger Tank" is, is it's nothing more than a
seperately sealed section/seat where the Rigger is heavily protected. Want an
idea on this? Take the Largest Side-Car option from the R2 and give it
everything you can nearly imagine, including some armor. The "Load" is
reduced from the trucks load, NOT the side-cars, and with a base 12CF for the
side car, that's -REALLY- cool. We've done this as the "ejection pods" on
specialized aircraft in our games, just for the real fun of it.
