It's about time I added a general purpose transport truck to the fleet. I'm pretty happy with this result. It's a pleasure to drive, the pressurized interior makes it really useful on all planets, and its already proven super useful as a mobile artillery platform and CIWS truck. I plan on making quite a few variants of this but if you have any requests please let me know.
