mayapuppies Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hello all, I was wondering if any of you know where I can find the weight of the Dracon Marine Battlesuit from Terran Empire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Re: Weight of a battlesuit It's not listed anywhere that I'm aware. Whatever it is, it's half what something like that would normally weight int he setting. . . (yeah, that was helpful). You could use the guidelines on p118 of The Ultimate Vehicle to determine Mass of objects and halve it for the DMB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost-angel Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Weight of a battlesuit The armor is on page 147 of Terran Empire, yeah there's a pic in the book. It reminds me of Elementals from Battletech for some reason (though replace the shoulder SRM with a jet back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Weight of a battlesuit in BT an elemental took up 1 ton of space (I use to build my mechs with that extra ton just to give the pilot and escape vehicle) Living Steel had a suit like it also and that I think weighed in at over 900lb depending on how strong the suit is it should be able to lift it's own wt at least The armor is on page 147 of Terran Empire, yeah there's a pic in the book.

ghost-angel Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Weight of a battlesuit The suits come with Clinging + 21 STR, which is a tell tale sign. I would wager that they weigh in the neighborhood of 400kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost-angel Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Re: Weight of a battlesuit Keep in mind -- that's a WAG. I'd weigh it to whatever you feel is appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyGuardian Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Re: Weight of a battlesuit Take a look at body armor weight in Dark Champions - probably the best number to start from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: Weight of a battlesuit I have weight figures for all the battle dress suits in Traveller Hero if that would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuSoardGraphite Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Re: Weight of a battlesuit Assume that if it is man-sized and somewhat form-fitting (like Iron Man or Hardsuit from Bubblegum Crisis) then its going to weight around 80-120kg (100kg average) If its bulkier with lots of weapons and ammo and large batteries or flight packs etc, then add another 40-60kg. If the suit is larger than human size, double the weight for each level on the size chart. Thats how I handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
