Been tracking this for a short time now and was saving it to add under the "news" for MBT inputs but since Oche posted it :up:, here's what I have on it now...

1. First industry consolidation and investment...

2. If you were to go back to the ANDERS thread the PL-01 looks like the advanced prototype of that model with some CV-90 mixed in as BAE is also involved with this project. You can see the "bloodlines" if you look closely. Prototype is designed to carry 4 fully armed troops as well-for now-anyway.
