Design Notes -This was in my draft pile dated either Oct 11, 2006 or Sept 17, 2010.  The concept was to get linked HMGs on a cycle.  My first design got messed up because I didn't remember that you couldn't modify the cycle chassis (and I did so with MADHAT and it got much cooler than it deserved to be).  A heavy cycle was thus a must to allow the most weight.

Even then, as anyone who has designed with HMGs knows, those things are *heavy* and I could almost not fit anything on the cycle, even with a C/A frame.

Given the targeting rules for cyclists, I thought the BA was worth 1 pt of vehicle armor.

Name Notes - Dysnomia is the moon of Eris: "the only known moon of the dwarf planet Eris (the most massive known dwarf planet in the Solar System). It was discovered in 2005 by Mike Brown and the laser guide star adaptive optics team at the W. M. Keck Observatory, ... officially named Dysnomia (from the Ancient Greek word Δυσνομία meaning "lawlessness") after the daughter of the Greek goddess Eris."
