- | === How much weaponry? === | ||
- | Usually, for infantrymen and power armor, this is self-explanatory... or at least easily ruled on. No one expects an infantryman or a power armor to dual-wield bazookas and carry four spares in their back. | ||
- | |||
- | However, for mecha and starships, it becomes more nebulous. The rule-of-thumb we offer is: a rough maximum of 8 same-tier weapons as the unit carrying them. Getting a higher-tier weapon costs 2 weapons of the tier below, and vice-versa. | ||
- | |||
- | == Loadout example: giant robot dinosaur == | ||
- | I'm building a giant robot dinosaur, a heavy mecha, which means I can have: | ||
- | * 8 Heavy Anti-Mecha weapons. | ||
- | |||
- | So, if I want to have two laser eyes of destruction, | ||
- | * 2 Medium Anti-Starship weapons. | ||
- | |||
- | So, in the case of my giant robot dinosaur with laser eyes, it //can// kill with a glare. | ||
- | |||
- | But wait, I wanted it to breathe fire too! And I want my firebreath to cause more damage than my laser eyes. Back to the drawing board: I divide one of those weapons back to 2 light anti-starship weapons. Those two will actually be my laser eyes. The bigger one is my firebreath. So, now, my loadout looks like: | ||
- | * 1 Medium Anti-Starship plasma flamethrower | ||
- | * 2 Light Anti-Starship Laser beam eyes of doom | ||
- | |||
- | And there we go. My godzilla-impersonator is armed and ready to tear Chiaki escort destroyers out of the sky! | ||

That kind of deterioration is for the Game Master to describe and take into account. Also bear in mind that even though the damage caused might not to lethal, injuries come with their own hazards such as bleeding. | That kind of deterioration is for the Game Master to describe and take into account.

Unlike body armor which is directly set over flesh, power armors operate on a more robust foundation: a pressure-proof lining to environmentally protect the wearer, along with an endoskeleton that serves as armature for motor actuators or artificial muscle-fibers, | Unlike body armor which is directly set over flesh, power armors operate on a more robust foundation: a pressure-proof lining to environmentally protect the wearer, along with an endoskeleton that serves as armature for motor actuators or artificial muscle-fibers, | ||
