How about those 'grab the starport' scenarios where you want a little
more 'direct' support and/or mobility for those drop troops?  Yes, you
can put small vehicles in Interface Landers but how about drop-vehicles
to support your 'paras'?

Well here's a few of the more common (in my febrile vision/dementia):

All are size 1 (Very Small)

First the 'Low Tech' vehicles (low tech defined as predominately CFE
powered (some HMT, very rare FPG in size 3 or bigger) and preferring HVC
over SLAM over HKP over DFFG over HEL/MDC) - 

All are Armor 1 (Ablative optional, Reactive less common alternate))

Light Attack:
HiMobilityWheeled (HMW)
Turret with 2xRFAC/1  OR Fixed RFAC/2
'free' APSW

APC (light CFV for recon?)
Fast Tracked or HMW
Carries one FT
Free and a second APSW

ATM/TD
Fast Tracked
GMS/H
free and second APSW

(Less common) - 
FDS vehicle
Fast GEV
GMS/L
3 point FDS commo/range finder package (electro-optical 'periscope' for
looking over terrain and/or LEL RF and/or ...)

LAD
Fast Tracked
LAD (duh)
enhanced PDS
Free APSW

Rare - 
Recon
Fast GEV or Fast Tracked
Turret RFAC/1
(based on FDS - substitute enhanced recon package and drop special FDS
commo gear) (IR searchlight and/or ...)

Mid Tech

Mid tech defined as predominately HMT powered (some CFE, some FPG) and
preferring HKP over SLAM over DFFG over  HEL/MDC over HVC) - 

pretty much the same but variations

Light Attack
replace 2xRFAC/1 with 2xDFFG/1

Recon
Change RFAC/1 to DFFG/1

High Tech

High tech defined as predominately FPG powered (some HMT, rare CFE) and
preferring MDC over HEL over HKP over SLAM over DFFG over HVC) - 

Light Attack
Change Turret weapons to 2xRFAC/1

Recon and FDS
Change main weapons to HEL/1

Size 2 (small) vehicles to follow, it gets a bit more interesting for
the
Interface Landing troops vehicular support...)

Gracias,
Glenn
