Some form of ANT / Space Truck is needed.

If you wanted to give it more roles beyond being a simple space truck. You could make it into a general logistics vehcile. Give it two utility slots to fit things like Ammo supply, Repair, ANT and 'future cool stuff'. The option for a single weapon mount in one of those utility points might also be worth looking at - with a limited range of weapons availble, standard 20mm, kolbat, and maybe the ranger. Limit the functionality of the repair/ammo supply abilities to being in a deployed state. Allows it to become a mobile deployable supply depo in large tank battles.

Along with a mixture of chassie/defensive slots.
