EP-13
This is a prototype energy gun pod developed to replace the GU-XX late in the FIW. It looks identical to the GU-XX on the outside, but looking at what's in the guns clip you can automatically tel the difference. Instead of the large 35mm ammunition belts, the clip is divided down the center into two compartments, stacked on top of each other in each compartment are 8 large batteries, a total of 16. These batteries power the energy gatling gun.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Range: 4,000ft
Mega-Damage: 2d6 single blast, 5d6+5 M.D. tri-burst, 1d4x10+10 on a medium burst, 2d4x10+20 on a full melee burst.
Rate of Fire: Single shots or bursts equal to the combined attacks of the pilot.
Payload: 300 single shots, 100 tri-bursts, 50 medium bursts, 25 full melee bursts. The Alpha CANNOT carry extra clips for this gun.
NOTE: This weapon is not available until 2030, even then it is still glitchy. When ever a medium or melee burst is made roll a percentile dice, 80-00 on a medium or 50-00 on a full the weapon malfunctions, the burst gets off but afterwards the internal circutry is fried until repaired by a BME. By the time of the Jupiter Attack fleet this has replaced the GU-XX and is bug free.
Alpha Nose Lasers
Primary Purpose: Anti-Aircraft
Range: 6,000ft
Mega-Damage: 3d6 per lace, 6d6 on a twin burst.
Rate of Fire: Equal to pilots combined attacks per melee
Payload: Effectively Unlimited.
Note: CANNOT fire in battloid mode.
EU-35 Beta Tri-Barrel Ion Cannons
These are the weapons mounted in the arms of the Beta. They're meant to fill the niche of the GU-XX which can't fire in Battloid Mode.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Range: 3,000ft
Mega-Damage: 1d4x10 short burst, 2d4x10 medium burst, 5d4x10 full melee burst.
Rate of Fire: Up to 10 short bursts, or 5 medium bursts per melee.
Payload: Conditionally unlimited. Each gun can fire up to 10 short bursts or 5 medium bursts per melee without limit when the gun's inbuilt capacitors are not in use. The capacitors slowly store enough excess energy at 25% per melee for a full melee burst ie a full melee burst can only be fired every four melees.
Excaliber MKVII Head Lasers: If those things do 3d6 each that makes them as poweful as the guns on the Gladiator which obviously have larger barrels and energy capacitators.
Mega-Damage: 2d4 M.D. per laser. Three simultaneous blasts directed at the same target do 6d4 M.D. (or 4d6 M.D.).
GRA-10 HIGH POWERED Gladiator Laser Cannons: Gimme a break people, 3d6 each?
Mega-Damage: 6d6 M.D. each, 1d6x10+12 M.D. when simultaneously fired.
GU-11 vs. GU-XX: Okay WTF is up with this? Let's look at it shall we? The GU-11 is a 55mm Tri-Barrel Autocannon, right? Right. The GU-XX is a 35mm Tri-Barrel Autocannon, right? Right. So why does the GU-XX do more than the GU-11, when it obviously uses a smaller caliber ammunition? It makes NO SENSE! So, for the sake of common sense and decency to our beloved VF-1 Series, switch the damages for the GU-XX with the GU-11, and vice versa.
The Great MAC Dilemma: Okay, the MAC II, the biggest powerhouse of the Robotech forces, with four huge cannons, each only doing 2d6x10 M.D.? 40cm, that's 400mm people! That's almost half a fucking meter! First of all, the MAC II 40cm shells do 4d6x10 M.D., okay? Everyone with me? Good. Now the REF MAC III supposedly has 40cm cannons aswell. Here is where the (supposed) dilemma begins...Look at the size of the cannons on the MAC II, and look at the ones on the MAC III, they are obviously NOT the same bore! So the MAC III cannons are 200mm, and do 2d6x10 M.D., are we clear? Good, that's all settled then.
Anti-Submersible Skimmer
This Skimmer is designed for water & desert travel. On some desert planets the sand flows like water, making it even easier for the enemy to hide. So for such situations the skimmier is armed w/ moderately powerful depth charges, aswell as a payload of Torpedoes.
NOTE: This skimmer is not an enclosed vehicle, it's open, so on planets with harsh atmospheres EVA suits or CVR-3 will be needed.
Vehicle Type: Sea/Sand Skimmer
Crew: One Pilot, can hold 3 additional standing passangers
M.D.C. by Location:
Speed: The Hover Thruster system enables the Skimmer to travels 3ft above the surface of the water or sand. Maximum speed is 200mph, cruising around 80-100mph.
Max. Range: 800 miles at crusing speed, 600 at full speed.
Length: 10ft
Width: 6ft
Height: from the bottom to the deck it's only 2.5ft high, but the back thrusters add another 5ft.
Weight: Dry weight is 1,300lbs, fully loaded the weight is 1.1 tons.
Cargo: The skimmer can carry additional 1,000lbs on it's deck.
WEAPON SYSTEMS
1. TORPEDO LAUNCHERS (4): The Skimmer carries two different pairs of torpedo racks. One pair holds two long range torpedoes, the other pair holds a total of 12 Mini-Torpedoes.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Submersible
Secondary Purpose: Assault
Mega-Damage: Long Range Torpedoes are Plasma and do 4d6x10 M.D. each, Mini-Torpedoes are High Explosive and do 5d6 M.D. each
Rate of Fire: Long Range Torpedoes can be launched singly or in a volley of two. Mini Torpedoes can be launcher singly or in volleys of 2, 4, or 6.
Range: LR Torpedoes have a range of 5 miles, while the Mini-Torpodoes have a range of 1 mile.
Payload: 2 LR Torpedoes and 12 Mini-Torpedoes.
2. DEPTH CHARGES: Mounted on the left and right of the back thruster are high explosive depth charge holders.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Submersible
Mega-Damage: 2d6x10+30 M.D. for charge w/ a 30ft blast radius.
Depth: 3,000ft maximum setting
Rate of Fire: As man as 4 total charges can be dropped in one action.
Payload: 12 charges per holder, that's a total of 24.
Striking with Depth Charges: First a Read Sensory Instruments roll must be made to use sonar detection on the enemies posistion. Then the skimmer goes over the area and drops the charges. Roll to strike for each charge, no modifiers. On a 1-11 the target only feels a slight shockwave, no damage. On a 12-17 the target is caught in the blast taking half damage. On a 18-20 it's a direct hit! Full damage.
By making a succesful pilot roll -20% the pilot can drop the charges in a specific 'trap' pattern. If the pilot psses he gets +1 to stirke for every charge after the first, the bonus is cumulative (.i.e. first charge +0, 2nd +1, 3rd +2, etc.).NOTE: Ponderous battle ships can't perform 'trap' pattern drops.
