Watch any video of the a10 thunderbolt on the internet in action. This weapon is well documented. It"s the closesed Real Life weapon to the GU11 available. The GU11 more than likely has much more Recoil than the GAU-8 avenger used by the A10 Thunderbolt.

FreelancerMar

For the record I do not have a problem with the GU11 which is basically just a upgraded modified GAU-8 avenger used by the A10 Thunderbolt. The Recoil of this weapon is well documented. It is the GU12 that I cannot see as a useable VF weapon in the Air.

RECOIL: For all those commenting about "too much recoil" for the GU-11... m Those 3 rounds in the photo are the 40mm L/60, the 6pdr british (57×441mm) and the 3.7inch AA (94 x 675Rmm). These 3 rounds were all mounted inside the Mosquito fighter-bomber Mk VI, and Mk XVIII. If an all-wood f...

There is no doubt that the ISP system is Broken. When 1 short fight takes literally days to recover from. Rifter #37 page 27 has a possable solution for this. Just My opinion.

FreelancerMar

Another thing to consider.

The propellant used by the GU11/GU12 are likely to be an order of magnitude more powerful than a modern M1A1 tank shell. This means even MORE recoil than a current shell.

Just something to think about.

FreelancerMar

One must also remember that once the circle has been used once, all of the ingrediates are destroyed.

FreelancerMar

Consider this. A modern M1A1's Main Cannon has a 120mm bore. Tank Weighs 68 tons Watch video of this tank in action. Look at the Recoil of this Tank fireing. VF1 Weighs 19 tons There is no possible way that a VF1 fighter could use a GU12 effectively without the recoil knocking the plane out of the s...

Notice the way I said "if they had the necessary skills". This usually means that that they Must be a Diabolist or Summoner Before becoming a life force wizard. The only way to get the necessary skills is from formal training. The formal training will not normally be available after becomi...

Mods The Life Force Wizard can absorb life energy (H.P.) of all living creatures.

The Revision castrated the OCC. That is my opinion on the matter.

FreelancerMar

All I can say is that I am glad that I have a first printing first edition N&SS. The Revision castrated the martial arts forms. That is my opinion on the matter.

Using Stats from DAVE DEITRICHs Steelfalcon.com for many mecha if one wants Macross stuff. They may need to be tweekd slightly to conform with the Second Edition stuff, but for the most part it seems to be fairly accurate and balanced. The tweeks that need are basically weapon damages. You should be...

I may have rethink the location of a nexus. The Site of the Ground Zero Explosion might be a better location.

FreelancerMar

in a word yes

FreelancerMar

The Bloody Monday Memorial should be a Prime location for a nexus.

I really wish it was up to me but it is not.

It really is to bad that PB will not publish PDF for many of it's titles. My eyeballs are not as good as the used to be. I cannot read small print anymore, and I also cannot drive legally anymore. Broken blood vessels in my eyes prevents it. This is one of the reasons why did not buy the new Manga f...

You might want to check out Rifters number 3 and 7

Which probably means Never.

There are things that could be able to Mix Into HU and Robotech. I already mentions genesis pits. Cybernetics and Robotics is another. It depends on what kind of game you want to run. You also should not be restricted to one area either. Using Material from Mutants in orbit could easily be dropped i...

FreelancerMar

Well, PB won’t even PDF up their own Intellectually Property. What makes you think they would PDF up any Robotech things???? The titles of PB available on DriveThroughRPG are Ancient! PB won’t even allow Current Titles to show up on DriveThroughRPG which means that there is ZERO chance of ever getti...

FreelancerMar

All I can say is, don't forget the genesis pits.

I would say that Invid Mecha are at least partially controlled by PSI inputs. This would prevent full functional of non-invid pilots. It is possible that a hybred human-invid could learn how to master invid mecha units.

FreelancerMar

I am still waiting for a non-manga sized Southern Cross book to be released. Manga sized books will not be purchased by me. I hope that future releases will all be 8.5X11 format.

FreelancerMar

Hopefully the forced manga format garbage BS will be a thing of the past.

IIrc The Destabilzer Cannon acts as a Normal combat gunpod but must be attached to the Fighters Sholder mount to draw extra energy from the Fighter itself in order to use the Destabilzer function. This is shown on screen near the end of the series. It would be nice to add that functionality to the V...

FreelancerMar

I would have to say that I agree with that 1 fellow. In all likelyhood, the only mini's that we are likely to see will probably be all Macross based. I remember as a kid that the only Robotech Toys that I ever seen on the shelves of my local Toys'R'US store were all Macross gen and even then the onl...

FreelancerMar

I guess I would put it this way. IMHO Stats for a halfbreed Human/Zentraedi Would/Should be no different than that of a purebreed terran born human. The same goes with a tyrolian/human halfbreed. I also would not allow offspring from an invid/human paring. Also take a look at the Swartzenegger clan....

FreelancerMar

Welllllll We do have Real world Robot Vacuum cleaners and those have been with us for quite some time now.

FreelancerMar

Well one could look at ECM jaming as a type of sensory shield as it would scramble some electronic sensors. It is obvious that the Zentraedi have encountered energy Barier's/Shields before. The Masters have them and the Invid have them. The Zentraedi would have obviously recognized BOTH types. Also ...

I would have to disagree with the earth strain being a mutant strain of the IFol. It must be rememberd that the strain within the PC-matrix hidden abord the SDF-01 was the origional, uncontaminated, opterian strain untouched by other enviornmental elements. The masters would have also made sure that...

Well if nothing else, if one does indeed have the OLD Ship books you can fall back on those at least for the Macross portion of Robotech. One also must remember that each and every RT product produced by PB has to go to hg before it can be sent to the printer under the current license. It is possabl...

I see only one problem with this Tiree. It is more often than not that the PC gets treated as the Mook by the system. Much(most) of the time the system says that much of what you see in the show is, and always will be flat out impossable for the "PC Hero" to do no matter what which can eas...

Page 31 1st edition Invid Invasion. All Cyclone Hth Damage = Mega damage attacks. If the damage was not on the MD scale then Rook would not be able to Kick attack the Invid EYE and take Invid mecha units out of the action. And yes this is shown onscreen on more than 1 occasion. Also as the OP pointe...

There is actually an MD weapon in N&SS. It is called the Vehicle stopper. Look it up. It is in the Core book.

After doing some research I know exactly where Century station is located.

It's located in RPG/Fantasy Land.

I have not yet seen the movie. I'll wait for the disc to come out. Dont want to spend that kind of $$$$$ at a movie theater. At home I can always pause it when nature calls.

I kind like that Farmers Insurance comercial though lol.

IMHO Gramercy island = A type of Alcatraz.

I would put Century Station Somewhere along the cost of Southern California but that is just me.

FreelancerMar

Hrmm How about this. Take your average Killer Grizzly Bear and put it in a steel deathmatch cage, then drop in a properly experienced micronized Zentraedi combatant in the same cage and let them fight it out. My $$$$$ would be on the bear. As for the Max thing??? Playing Video games can actually imp...

A Shifter is not a witch. An Empowering entity cannot Completely Cut/gut a shifter off from the shifters own powers. A Shifter does not need an Empowering Entity to function at full capcity.

IF I am not Mistaken, Most Pacts will not give you access to something that the empowering entity does not know either. Not that any empowering entity would be so foolhardy as to grant such abilities to a witch in the first place. Not only that but, wards and circle magic probably isn't something th...
