I could multiply the weight and cost of the mototcycle seat by (battlesuit weight/200). > VXi22 has rules for carrying battlesuits.

I have second, larger design with a crew of two and weight/space for four battlesuits -- all carried internally -- which might make a better 'heavy lift' helicopter. My only hesitation is that it uses a TTR, ratehr than MMR )on outriggers like German heavy helicopters or over the front and read of the body like Ameriican helicopters, of that era).
