Design Notes - I had hoped originally to get this below 10K but it was hanging around 11 and I didn't want to immediately strip the accessories or drop the RR to RL, so I pumped it up to Div15 with the HRSWC. Not sure why I wanted a crew of 2 (and I guess I rushed a draft to publication because, TBH, I wanted to make sure I had at least one entry in 2020). 

But the 2 options even out the Div15 decision: sloped armor is always a plus (and worth a gunner, especially when there's only one offensive weapon); and the Styx Defense System works for staving off RL-LGL (or feisty actual lasers) that can be found in Div15.

Name Notes - Element #106, info from the Wiki: "a d-block transactinide element.... [it's] named after the American nuclear chemist Glenn T. Seaborg. As a synthetic element, it can be created in a laboratory but is not found in nature. It is also radioactive; the most stable known isotope." Why this element? Because it's a passive-aggressive way of showing that I'm not super happy with the design. It's obvious that it's a Div10 artificially inflated to Div15. One day I'll figure out the purpose of sedans; I'm still stuck in the Midsized/Luxury mindset I had back in the mid-1980s.

* Styx Defensive System = 6 Smoke Dischargers linked to 5 laser reactive webs (F, B, R, L, T; covering tires of those sides as well) & 4 bumper triggers (to oil & also linked to that side's weapons)
