Based on somebody's rigger cocoon for drones idea plus the Ares Air Supply from This Old Drone. At body 6, it should be large enough to carry some passengers, though I'm not sure how many. It's a cargo lifter, so I figure a half-ton load = 4 or 5 guys. The troll could ride on top. Acceleration numbers look way off. If it's a typo, then boo to Catalyst for missing something this obvious.

The correct Acceleration is 30/150.

Check out this option. It's harder to acquire at 24F, more fragile, limited to a single-seater, and needs a runway, but it's over 5x faster and comes with mounts that can take some nasty firepower. I'd say leave off the Tank Cannon and you'll have more than enough weight capacity free to lift any Runner.

Death from far, far above? And for that price? Very nice!
