Babylon 5 Weapons Conversion experiment

[shadowcat1313]

was tinkering with some stuff from the Babylon 5 Wars books, and tried converting the Neutron Laser

80 Neutron Laser: Multipower, 280-point reserve, (280 Active Points); Custom Modifier (Real Weapon; -1/4); all slots OIF Immobile (-1 1/2), Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), Only to Activate, -3/4)
8u 1) Piercing Mode: RKA 7d6+1, Armor Piercing (+1/2), MegaScale (1" = 100 km; +3/4), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (275 Active Points); OIF Immobile (-1 1/2), Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), Only to Activate, -3/4), Beam (-1/4)
8u 2) Raking Mode: RKA 6d6, Armor Piercing (+1/2), Area Of Effect Nonselective (80" Line; +3/4), MegaScale (1" = 100 km; +3/4) (270 Active Points); OIF Immobile (-1 1/2), Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), Only to Activate, -3/4)
7u 3) Sustained Mode: RKA 5d6+1, Armor Piercing (+1/2), Continuous (+1), MegaScale (1" = 100 km; +3/4), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (280 Active Points); OIF Immobile (-1 1/2), Custom Modifier (must cool down for 1 turn after used in sustained mode, cannot fire sustained for more than 3 turns in a row; -1), Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), Only to Activate, -3/4)
Powers Cost: 103

just an idea, any comments?

I have not done more than just skim some of the Bab5 wars stuff.

A little over the top in power don't you think?

[shadowcat1313]

not really, I figure I went really conservative on it, I cant seem to find anywhere that it gives a range scale. I also didnt give it invisible power effects to sight, finguring a neutron weapon probably isnt visible in the normal spectrum

While I don't have any of the B5Wars stuff, I don't think its over the top. Look at some of the ship work I've done. This is pretty well in line with that work. I'm working on the Minbari cruisers, and they are tough. So tough, I might have to readjust the armor across the ship board. But I digress - and derail thread :)

I like the custom modifier on the sustained mode. But does the AE:Line need non-selective?

correct me if I am wrong on this, my assumption on this being the AE line non selective means that its going to at least try and cut through anything in that path. or I have I configured this wrong?

the B5 Wars stuff is interesting,
I have took some wild ass guesses on somethings that arent covered
ranges are in hexes, but I cant find where it gives any scale for how big a hex is

That's just it, I can't remember either. I tought AE:Line hit anything/everything. Adding Selective meant you could hit just what you wanted (at DCV 3 hex) and, and Non-Selective meant you made an attack roll vs. each target in the line/area as if you were attacking them indivitually (with normal OCV/DCV mods, not targeting the DCV 3 hex).

That's correct, making it non selective doesn't match what you are trying to do. Just leave it at AOE Line.

[Champsguy]

With Selective, you have to hit their DCV.

I know it is a small thing but i would think it would not get the real weapon disadvantage.

Out of curiosity, why not? They have to be crewed. They have to maintained, repaired, etc. All my ship builds use Real Weapon as a limitation.
