Design Notes - I recently updated a car with my favorite combo, turreted VMG with a FOJ back. I call this the Hyperion, and I just wanted to see if I could make the same combo with a sedan not a midsized in Div15. Short answer, the Midsized version is way better. It has more armor and an IFE, while the main entry doesn't even have a turret (in order to keep the cost low)

Name Notes - An element name that in itself sounds cool. Info from the Wiki:
Strontium is the chemical element with the symbol Sr and atomic number 38. An alkaline earth metal, strontium is a soft silver-white yellowish metallic element that is highly chemically reactive. ... Both strontium and strontianite are named after Strontian, a village in Scotland near which the mineral was discovered in 1790...
But the name also evokes the British comic book Strontium Dog
Strontium Dog is a long-running British comics series featuring in the British science fiction weekly 2000 AD, starring Johnny Alpha, a mutant bounty hunter with an array of imaginative gadgets and weapons.
