A good start on the desings.  I like the long range of the HELs couppled
with
the punch of the GMS.  Here are my suggestions . . .

- Stealth isn't all it's cracked up to be, more than one level is pretty
expensive and the points saved can buy you more vehicles.  Heck even a
d8 taget
die can beat a d12.
- I'd drop the PDS on all but the Falcon MBT and the Nighthawk AT,
you're
running Superior ECM and the PDS makes that redundant.	Maybe you could
do some
specialized ADS vehicles to support the light units.
- For the Nghthawk AT, I'd add PDS and raise the armor by 1, making it a
real
brute.	To do this you may have to raise the class, though I don't
recall
- I'm not really a fan of Ablative or Reative armor, though I'm sure
each has
it's place, just extra points your shelling out.  If I recall Ablative
only
functions against HELs.
- You may want to consider adding areospace or artilery support in the
future.
- Don't forget your command vehicle, if you want to do a specialized
design.
Sometimes we just designate one vehicle as the overall command.
- GEV is cheaper than Grav, though nothing beats 15" for mobility.

That's about it . . . let us know how the first few games turn out.
