Did that actually needed to be a question?

I would take a Micronian Bioroid with Hover Sled (and an energy based Bioroid Blaster...) This to me, would be the best of both worlds. You have psuedo technology we could understand and repair. Along with the quasi-mystical/alien technology of the Robotech Masters. Now mind you, I am not a Southern...

Hey Tetsuya, I dont need think out my post - I already know who would win...I know all sides equally well. Sit down and let the adults talk. Because resorting to a personal attack rather than replying directly to all of the holes i shot in your logic is going to prove your point. Its worked for eve...

Well if each side was in its heyday of power. Look at the Robotech Masters in SC, they were losing and on the decline. They needed protoculture, etc... You have a full force with enough Protoculture, I would state that the Robotech Masters could easily take out Splynn. Heck, if they weren't even car...

trying to adhere to realism is the death of any good game. Rules are rules because they add game balance, not because they are realistic. If the VFL rifle says it defeats laser resistant armor, it does. I dont care of its ceramic or not. Nit-picking things apart like that just makes the game worse,...

till the commander died *sniff* we miss the slu-luetenant! Is that a new rank? Like Corpal Captain<?> Yes. Yes it is. It is not a nice combo though, the luetenant in our game was hard pressed to acquire 4 additional LRM's for another players Beta from the quartermaster in an Invid Invasion earth se...

In Novastar's campaign we have been using the MAC II as our mobile base (the thing is soooo sloooooow!) But we had a three man crew. The destroid pilot, also known as the one arm gunner. While another player is the only character without a mech became the official gunner. And the commander/military ...

Wow, doubling up people in a Gladiator - I could see some serious disadvantages in this. If your pilot first level maxed out for # of attacks could possibly start out with 6-8 attacks per melee (2 for HTH + 1 Boxing +3 Mecha Combat + 2 for living (if you use it), then you have a co-pilot with the sa...

For the excalibur you might want to go to rt.com to check out their info on it. They have a nice picture of the person in the cockpit http://www.robotech.com/infopedia/mecha/viewmecha.php?id=17

I was thinking about this last night. But you probably could put 6 VWC pods on the Adventurer II along with its internal bomb bay. And maybe 2 or 4 VWC's on the Falcon Fighter.

The falcon fighter he was probably referring to is Dragon Fighter

But this is probably closer to the game Falcon II Fighter

If I understand this vehicle right. I would make the skill for piloting this be Jet or something similar for space (I can't recall if there is a Space Fighter skill?) Especially since this is not a mecha, and in theory a VF in Guardian Mode is the same. Now as a booster, similar to the Super VF's ro...

I think I found the solution to my Radar dilema. Alpha's and Beta's have a Targeting Computer - with a 100 mile range. So in theory it can target items at beyond the 10 mile radar range. Either this is a mis-print, Radar is a mis-print or this is the secondary longer range version of a Radar I was t...

Even If you consider the SC electronics more advanced Wouldn't there be a reduction on the Destroids of the REF?

I am sorry, but I don't buy it. Maybe this is the combat radar (which I can believe) that can track X amounts of targets. But they should also have a second longer range radar.

I'm very interested to see if they keep the MAC past the next battle. While it is the king of battlefield artillery, that Beta can tear it a new one... I am quite interested to see how it holds up against a Beta also. But you made it pretty clear to me that, God was going to be going up against the...

And it would take your MAC approximately forever to walk from your drop site to the Alice. Remember you would have had to cross the Kimberleys as well (great hideout for resistance forces, btw). Western/central Australia is probably the LEAST MAC-friendly place on earth. Heat+Sand+moving parts = ev...

A "Wolfe" auto-pistol doesn't do MD; it's the 5 shot "Weasel" that does so. (Though admittingly, why one 9mm pistol can't use the same MD ammo of another 9mm pistol is beyond me. I allow players to use the MD ammo with Wolfe's, but I've played in games were we could not. ) And it still doesn't do m...

Its already been stated that the Alaska Grand cannon was fully functional Tiree, didnt you read any of the prior posts? I know mine was completely supportive and supported by Jefffars. Sorry, my question was a little under-developed. I was talking about the Australia Grand Cannon. I would also like...

I am not much of a TR Edwards fan, so I barely remember it. But it is starting to ring a bell... But on the note of the Grand Cannon - How much do you think was built? Was it ever completed, what do you think was there prior to the Masters? Was it one of the Military Bases that are listed at the bac...

Was the Alaska Grand Cannon destroyed in a counterattack ?? I seem to remember that it basically came crashing down on itself after having been fired -- some sort of structural instability and/or more powerful than they expected. Am I imagining things?? Yeah the Alaska Grand Cannon basically was a)...

Congratulations on your game.......sounds like its going really well. Makes me want to get into a good Robotech game..... Actually it's quite fun. I can't wait to see Novastar's writeup of the last adventure. But it left off with one heck of a cliffhanger (because of me, no less...) But I do have t...

Comments from the peanut gallery not welcome

Seriously Novastar - what is your take on it?


Basara, thanks for the info, that is nice to know also.

Umm, the Prime Minister of the United Earth Government would be the decider of those things, not the Supreme Commander of the United Earth Forces. Also, the RDF and the ASC are the SAME ORGANIZATION. The Pioneer Mission/REF is simply an extra-solar task force of the UEF. I always assumed that the R...

The Grand Cannon was the weapon used in Macross against the Zentraedi Armada. Lisa Hayes was stationed there during the big war, and Rick Hunter rescued her. The weapon used the Earth as power and it shot a beam swath that destroyed a huge chunk of the Zentraedi Fleet. Basically think of it as the S...

How many Grand Cannons are there? I know there was one in Alaska - it was destroyed. There was one in Brazil, but it was never completed The RDF Manual mentions one going to be placed in Australia - was it ever started? Side note, would Leonard allow the projects to continue when the RDF/REF left?

I never thought it would be hell having a Mac II in a game. But to be honest, it is the hardest thing to have. It moves so darn slow, and you are always trying to protect it. I almost want to say junk it, as it is being nearly impossible to keep up with the rest of the group. About the only thing th...

Maybe I am missing something - But why did the UN Spacy decide to build a Mech in the first place? I mean everything said here makes sense: If a tank was built with newly recovered alien technology it would be one bad mo-fo. So it really comes down to for me at least is this: They were expecting som...

I like quite a bit of the new styles to the Mechs. I can definately see them as Stingers or modifications to existing mecha in Robotech - if a GM allowed.

I believe it is LCPL

IIRC the T-99 is built as a Battloid version of the old VF Fighter (or was it another EBSIS Mecha?). Now not to get my evil minded GM extra thoughts - Wouldn't the Armored VF modules be able to attach to it? And if you think there is no difference between the Super VF and a Standard VF except for th...
