Notes

The Masai�s hull is a spherical design. As such, all armor facings require 17% of the MVM for each centimeter of armor added. The Masai has fuel scoops for refueling its flight tanks. As it has limited uses in a gas giant, the Masai typically refuels by dipping it�s belly intakes into a nearby water source. The Masai has no capacity for refining the fuel. The Masai is capable of folding it�s legs to allow the body to take cover behind buildings, trees or small hills. It takes a full three seconds to raise or lower the vehicle in this manner. When hidden properly, only the Masai�s turrets and sensors are exposed over the cover. The MMG of the Masai is capable of selecting between the two cassettes. The plasma gun has 10 barrels and can fire up to five times per combat round. The Masai has a 0.213 Mw power surplus.
