Sounds like the skimmers from Hammer's Slammers. They are one man hover bikes that carry troopers around...I think the Support Vehicle Consturction rules would be a better way to make these.

Still, with the current arrangment it really speeds up the deployment of the BA. the weapons are not big, but if you use the swarm tactics that BA normally use, then these things would be very evil. Ambushes would be much easier if the BA could move this fast. Attack the mechs from hiding then the next round retreat and fly to the next ambush point.

I agree it's a good idea and one that I have several takes on...

I think that the STAP has the same problems with weight as speeders, but otherwise it looks funny.
