chicken99999999 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 This is a stupid questen but im new to hero system. For space ships if you wnat them to carry something other than the ship itself would you just buy extra strenght so that it could carry more and count the extra cappasty as a cargo hold or would you do something else?

Monolith Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Depending on what you want them to carry it could be extra STR or extra SIZE or both. In most cases it would probably extra SIZE as the size adds more area to the ship. A merchant ship might be SIZE 12 giving it a 70 STR. A space tug, on the other hand, might be SIZE 6 but also have a 70 STR due to the fact that it must tug larger ships around. The extra STR does not give it more cargo space though.

BobGreenwade Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 A Vehicle can carry as much as its STR allows, just like a regular character. This includes the operator, passengers, and all cargo. And, by default, half of the interior space is set aside for carrying such things. Oh, and there are really only two truly stupid questions: "May I ask a stupid question?" and "About how long was the Hundred Years War?"

Chris Goodwin Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 It has been explained to me thusly by Steve Long: A vehicle has mass. It can carry additional mass equal to the amount it can lift with its STR. So if there was a 1600 kg vehicle with 30 STR, it could carry an additional 1600 kg for a maximum load of 3200 kg. Not how I'd always thought it worked, but hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
