Design Notes - This is an update of this:  
Van, Xhvy Ch., Hvy Sus., Super PP, 4 SD back, 2 PRR front, driver, 3 linked MML in turret, 2 linked RR front with magazines, HDOJ back; Hi-Res comp. 132 pts. Armor: F30 R20 L20 B30 T16 U16; Acc. 5, HC 3; 7198 lbs., $29,060; Deluxe: upgrade to HDFOJ, remove 4 pts. Armor; 7152 lbs., $29990; Econocorps: make RR into RL; add 14 pts. Armor, 7194 lbs; $29,480

Given my philosophy of maintaining the same weapon system in the upgrades, I could possibly put all the "3 MML in 3sp turret" as one named Van except that's way too limiting.  I mean, if I put every car with a turreted Vulcan...  Anyway, the original car is not that good, and I was unsure if I should spend more time to just create an upgrade of a poor weapon system - basically, if you have a turret and front weapons, they should be capable of smartlinking.  Extra mags do take up low-weight space in a Van.  Even as it is, the original design had 5 spaces left.  I took those spaces up with sloping (which every van *needs*) and CA (the best bang for the buck), and a DSP (the only damage-sink cheat I'll allow for vans, because the armor weight thing is ridiculous, and it actually a usable weapon).

Were I to totally update this, it would be because I like the name.
