I use the bomb bay of a beta as a special forces cyclone group transport. The art has it being pretty sizeable

A friend of mine has been effectively a co-gm in a long running online game. I found a couple of cool ways to say thank you to him.... i am curious how the rest of you reward helpful players.

I have some pretty feaking awesome players in the game that I am a part of. A great many of you put allot of forethought into your characters and I like that. I have had several folks marvel at the size of the game - the simple reality is that by letting you be you, in general, we all have more fun.

in my last game, we allowed MOS's from other OCC's the thing to think about is cross training or mid carrier changes. in RL various individuals have over the years attended schools from other branches of the military. the coast guard especially often sends people to navy schools. I would definitely ...

I am looking for references to SDI or Cheyenne Mountain in the books. so far on the list: Chaos Earth mentions contact being lost with Norad and the president being dead. Mutants in Orbit has several SDI satelites listed. apparently one of the tolkeen siege books has SDI sattellites listed in it.......

was it honestly that much cheaper to have things made in china and then shipper here? if it had been made here in the US (if possible), I suspect you would have much of the product all ready. Customs is not an issue for stuff made here.

Traveling in my game be a fact. Could be covering 5 or 300 miles in a day.... Depending on various factors

. Did not know pally created a adventure book. Have to get a copy of that.

In robotech 1st edition they had list of encounters - roll for every six hours or what have you and the list was broke down by what your players might run into. Is there such a table for rifts some where's?

sirkermittsg

in the coalition navy book it lists the CS naval commando as having an underwater lung as a part of their starting bionics and cybernetics. I have looked in numerous books and cant find a description of what an underwater lung is and what it does. I have searched: RMB, RUE, CWC, Coalition Navy, Rift...

I goggled temperature in space... and found an article with this line: "In the void between planets, star systems and galaxies, the temperature in space is generally considered to be 2.725 Kelvin which is -454.72°F (-270.4°C)." is something can work in space, then most assuredly it wont ha...

the folks making Valkyrie project had the financial resources to do so.... they were making good quality stuff. HG could have let them continue and then found a way to release it into the theaters.

if lenoard was a part of the AUL, then why the frick did they bring him on as the leader of the ASC? he blew up a facility that would have been one of the major parts of earths defenses and cost millions of lives in the first robotech war. He should have been arrested and hung.

sirkermittsg

assuming that leanord was telling the truth is abit fool hardy. seeing how he blew up the southern grand cannon, and he developed inferior mecha deliberately: he has proved that the defense of earth is less his priority, and having accolades for himself is more his priority. since when do politicans...

FREAKING AWESOME!
cant wait to see the whole thing.
the first part ROCKS!

the dialog does not match up with what is drawn. I suspect that the 70% is referring to the land...not the oceans. there are lots of boats and ships in the oceans....and submarines as well. I suspect many of thouse vessels may have survived...and at any given time there are millions of people on the...

Robotech.com lists some 70% of the earth's surface as having been destroyed....the numbers are similar in the Macross OSM. If you consider most population centers and military bases as having been the first targets, then a case can easily be made that some 98% of the population of the earth died ins...

I don't care for high powered characters like mages, dragons, and demi gods. I actually don't care for the boom gun of a glitterboy either. I have had characters in apc's and samas. tech guys are what I enjoy playing the most. they are not great fighters....but the role play is fun.

sirkermittsg

wow totally different.

how closely does robotech follow the macross osm?

sirkermittsg

I have seen a little bit of Macross II...but not all of it.

sirkermittsg

Personally, I think it's bizarre that Strike is used in this case... but I can kind of see it. The goal of dodging is generally to be anywhere BUT one specific place, and the goal of striking (with body block or whatever) is to BE one specific place. This rule has never really come up when I've run...

sirkermittsg

I am aware that Macross II is related to the original Macross so it would not include the Southern Cross and Invid Invasion stuff.....it also has some 1000 ships fron Britai's fleet allying themselves with the humans. I also aware that it occurs many years in the future of Macross...like 50 or so ye...

sirkermittsg

While I agree mostly with what you have said above.....let's keep in mind the majority of the Masters' forces were the Zentraedi whom Dolza marshaled into a one huge amalgamated fleet of 4+ million ships that got wiped out (plus the million Breetai had). For Robotech purposes this explains where th...

The VF-1 is not the end all, be all despite claims to the contrary. The VF-1 would not be very good doing the kinds of jobs the Ajax did, btw. I must agree on all counts. I personally prefer the Beta to the VF-1. I like it's bomb bay / mini cargo bay. As far as a space fighter, the VF-1 was superio...

I don't see humanity being able to fight such huge wars if only 70,000 survived and cloning or zents did not bolster the population in a big way. There were many thousands of troops involved in the battles for earth. Not to mention, most of the macross citizens were probably not going to war for rea...

sirkermittsg

Manpower may not have been as huge of an issue as you think. There are allot of possible sources for expanding the manpower available for the fleet. 1. There were allot more survivors of the ROD then just the 70,000 on the SDF-1. For example Leanord and others were in Antartica when the ROD happened...

sirkermittsg

the Ajax is not, and was never an aireal superiority fighter. It does not have the speed necessary to fight most aireal targets including the gnerls, drop ships, and other aircraft present on earth or in space after ROD. I understand the political reasons for not keeping the VF-1's but the VF-1 was ...

sirkermittsg

So why break the ships with the best weaponry? And why not salvage reflex cannons for use in the coming war? Even the asc did not have them.

sirkermittsg

I would think that the various zentraedi ships that survived the ROD would have been taken for several reasons....first of all because of their micro factories....which only they and the SDF-3 had..... their weaponry was also heavier. remember that several ship classes had the massive reflex cannons...

sirkermittsg

Even with only 50 ships, I can't see them being broken. The earth had zero functional ships outside of these and they were looking forward to many years before there would be a human fleet to replace these ships. Even then, they still had use because they were larger then nearly all human ships cons...

sirkermittsg

Where are they mentioned? Solid Oxide Batteries / Fuel Cells (presumably the same thing) appear in the new Northern Gun 1 book. they are an alternative for the nuclear engines that most robots and many vehicles have. their advantage is that if one's unit is destroyed, it does not cause an environme...

sirkermittsg

The robotech Factory was tooled up for Zentraedi Vessels to begin with. To me, it would make sense if the repaired as many of bretai's vessels as they could for Earth defense duty and use as a part of the Pioneer mission. They had a huge amount of raw material to salvage both in space and down on ea...

However, in N&S each "class" has an assigned "ed roll" and/or number of skill programs to it instead of actually rolling for it/them. Thus when using their classes and power cats you have to us the education rules for gaining new skills. This are found in HU1, HU2, BTS1. Whi...
