The way I'm viewing it is: If it has already been changed, you use the changed stats (except, of course, if you're going to use semi-canon autocannons instead of the full canon energy cannons). If it hasn't been changed, you use the unchanged stats. Want an REF Destroid? Pull out Sentinels and use ...

Ah. thanks I'll be more carfule about that in the future.

I'm not sure, but I am thinking cloning probably wouldn't go over with them---- it might--- never got Rifts Japan.

interesting on the anti-borg angle. Are they cool with cybernetics at all? like even prosthetics? what about magic/psi? They're okay with prosthetics for replacement, but very anti-bionics. I haven't seen any other particular prejudice carried over from character to character like this one. I have ...

We keep telling you theirs nothing keeping you from doing what you want with your campain. The reality is though that in the Invid Invasion arc and in TSC their are NO Sentinals era mecha avalible. (the "Current" Alfa and betas are bascialy all "New modle" units) So there are st...

Bummer don't have these comics. Any pics of them online anywhere? Thanks for pointing these out Zerebus Carl I am unable to locate images of the ships. In fact, it's as though some unseen force has scoured all traces of their existance from the net... Fixed are some, perhaps not what you are loking...

I think JU covers a lot of this well, but it seems like a lot of people lately have been talking about Juicers, and it almost always seems like they're talking about the same guy. I just had some thoughts about it. A lot of these apply to any sort of augmented character, including Borgs and Crazies...

Of course it's rediscovered tech. Any dark age will cause a loss of tech and a re-discovery of it. Take concrete for example, the Romans invinted it, then lost it and someone else figured it out again. Of course Roman concrete was made completly differantly than what we make now, and theirs had dif...

Yeah I concidered that, but i don't understand why they would do that. Seems counter productive to me.

I personally believe the storyline for RIFTS earth would be better served if Atlantis was never introduced, it's like the writers used that book/continent/island to splurge on all their over the top ideas that they know would unbalance the game in any other continent/location. I'd say the same thin...

I disagree, the Splugorth would never ever allow Rifts earth to betaken by the Naruni, And not just Splynncryth, how many Spulgorth intellegences are supposed to be vacationing on atlantis at anytime? we are talking 110's of billions of troops from the Splugorth alone. That combined with the demon ...

Are all of the Mecha in the Sentinals that are not in tSC's now unofficial? Not necessarily, since we're talking about Robotech Role Playing Game . Although whether its canon winthin official RT continuity or not, is debatable. You can still adapt the ol' REF mechas into your new campaign, with som...

ok first off some of the equipment in the animation seems to be fireing what are energy burts, and dont seem to be ejecting cartriges for the most part, Projectile weapons in Anima almost always eject spent caseings, Even when its not practical. For example Tanks will for whatever reason eject casi...

Well, since NE, if they wanted to, could take the entire planet against all takers, I don't see 'em as having been kicked off. Now, it's not WORTH it for them to take Rifts earth, but then again - that's why they could take it from all other takers as well. /Sub I disagree, the Splugorth would neve...

part of the reason for the reboot was because Originaly Kev& Kev got so much "wrong" to start with,(do a quick seach for the Anti Kevs Robotech and you will get several pages full of what they "got wrong") Part was HG going with a more "Defined" timeline for the se...

Ir ated it as a 6.5, There were changes which I just felt were unnecessary and in someways a step backward. I liked the varient statistics for the differant mecha models, but I would have liked to see more on the Haydonite,s more on the timeline history since they obviously have made changes to the ...

The switch from autocannos to energy weapons for the REF mecha is one of the most nagging issues for me. I really don't understand why that was done, it is less realistic in many ways and in a protoculture starved timeline bullets would be a much more effective choice from a resource management poin...

They likely didn't include it to keep the properties separate. Since they use the same mechanics, you don't really need conversion... just plug and play. Well I suppose the upgraded mecha do not now require a conversion, or at least thats how I would read there lack of attention to it in the new co...

the changes make perfect sense: palladium got it wrong the first time. Really would you like to explain how, the previous books were "wrong" I mean the auto cannos particularly fit with the show more than the energy weapons do. it was working off notes and it's own research, and HG didn't...

All in all I am just baffled by the changes which seem to have no purpose. The increase in armour I understand, but the changing of auto cannons to energy weapons, the dumping of the flex fuel engine, and chang of REF to UEEF just seem to be without good cause. The loss of numerous forms of mecha fr...

The old Robotech books were completely replaced by the new Shadow Chronicles game and its subsequent books. CB1 does not apply to Shadow Chronicles mecha. I'd say they are 100% compatible with Rifts and need no conversion. CB1 was replaced by CB1:R anyway, which makes it out of date as a reference ...

4) Its from the Macross univers and thus will never be printed

Does this mean that there will never be an updated First Robotech War book?


No VF-1's? No destroids? etc?

So the flex fuel secondary power source for the engine of the Cyclone is gone as well. Now it is a battery system, powered by braking? That seems much less effecient esspecially since methane for LNG could be simply mined on numerous outer solar system type moon or planet by any large space craft as...

Why were all of the Autocannons changed into energy weapons? By 2029AD, all United Earth Forces mechas on Earth (by SCA, TASC etc) & which included those Alpha fielded by EF Taskforce, already utilises beam weaponry, in addition to missiles. In 2nd RT War, energy weapons is commonplace for UEF ...

First let me say these are not complaints just some questions about changes that I don't understand. Why were all of the Autocannons changed into energy weapons? Are all of the Mecha in the Sentinals that are not in tSC's now unofficial? Thats a lot of Mecha, someof which are in my Campaign world. D...

Okay, The Shadow chronicles has come out and altered the Mecha of the REF ( yes i know they are not calling them that anymore), the larger mecha have significantly more MDC than they used to, now according to the Rifts conversion book the Robotech mecha are inferior in technology to Rifts robots and...
