Description: Designed for the ranger's and jedi to be able to use and get around quickly. As a stationary tank it is not very impressive as a number of small arms can penetrate the layers of armor to it. The thin armor allows it to remain smaller and lightweight with a compartment for the ranger or the jedi using it to climb into the back and move around. Its weapons systems are small allowing it to rely on hit and run tactics that will protect them from being smashed with a hail of slug or blaster fire. The cockpit for the driver is a tight fit when they are in full armor and requires the skills that they need to work with it. Everything is in place with a small compartment allowing them to carry some extra equipment. A modular weapon system so they can create unique load outs for a battle or situation that is needed and an advanced high performance engine booster allowing the tanks speed to match for a time that of a speeder in some cases. The anti grav letting them make jumps off of buildings and land safely even with the weight of the tanks. The weak armor also means that they have not been shielded from ion and emp weapons and the higher speeds that it is able to move require droid brain to be able to track and target with weapons at the higher speeds.

Pontite is the rarest grade of a rare crystal, and Solari crystal is of comparable rarity. Your Synthweave is mass-produced, and that ship has sailed. However, the Synthweave is specified as being intended for personal gear - armor, weapons, etc. Basically, you can't plate your mass-produced mini-tanks in ultra-rare lightsabre crystals. Please remove the Synthweave.

an advanced high performance engine booster allowing the tanks speed to match for a time that of a speeder in some cases.

The performance booster sub uses the terms 'momentary increase' and 'small bursts of accelerated speed,' but this sub only says 'for a time,' far as I can see. Please specify that the performance booster can only be used momentarily, and give a top speed without the performance booster.

Your Sasori Coating appears to be a stealth coating for personal armor and clothing. It's not rated for use on a vehicle, and its stealth properties weren't discussed in the description; unless I've read it wrong, it's gotta go.

The Omnibreaker is a small handheld weapon. Can you expand on why you're effectively arming a tank with a knife?

the crystal coating is there because the original talks for it were giving it a cloak and I forgot we never got to finishing the thread. Removed it
CHanged the speed for the boosted and normal speeds
edited out the synthweave as requested
And the omnibreakers are last ditch weapons as this might be a tank but it is also meant to be small and fairly compact compared to the others. The spider droids could stomp and use their bulk in melee if things got close these have small daggers where explosives and a cannon can't reach.
