- | === 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 | + | |
