Not a bad design; however, at 8 tons that puts it in the minority of vehicles whose weights aren't multiples of 5 (the original Warrior VTOL, the original Swift Wind, and the drones for the drone carrier). Given this, some players might not like it because it'll be a little more difficult to track tonnages if those machines have to be moved by cargo carriers.
