Can you offer up some good uses of an ANT beyond a space truck? We want all the vehicles to have a well defined role and to be fun. Being a space trucker doesn't seem like it is worth the trouble or worth investing in...what other cool uses do you think the ANT and its power mechanic might bring to make it an interesting and fun vehicle to invest in?

5 reasons why I think that the ANT should be its own separate vehicle.
1. Having a unique silhouette allows for instant priority objective recognition
2. Being a separate vehicle does not further dilute the sunderer's already (un)reasonably diverse array of roles.
3. Being a separate vehicle allows for having a relatively low resource cost to help facilitate its use.
4. Being not intended as just another passenger or combat vehicle, it does not need guns nor gunners (lore-wise, this could be to avoid explosions near the power source), making a protective force outside of itself a necessity rather than an option.
5. Being unique allows for it to have unique hill-climbing abilities for traversing more difficult terrain, possibly having to temporarily leave protectors a short distance behind, or necessitating air-support (possibly something a galaxy could be good at!). This would also allow for creative placement of resource nodes.
In short- Making the ANT its own separate vehicle allows for design opportunities that would not be possible otherwise.
