Anaximander Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi, I haven't played around with much vehicle design, but I am in the process of creating a space craft that can teleport and cross dimensions assuming a pilot or co-pilot already has either the teleportation or extra-dimensional travel power. The space craft is for an extra-dimensional alien hero in a super heroic campaign. The race is a formerly naturally powerful teleporters and dimension travels who have devolved over time to the point that most members can only teleport a few meters but have created technology to extend their powers over specially designed spacecraft. The problem is that I am not sure how to create this ability into the ships. It seems that I should just buy the ship with the dimension travel and teleportation powers that I want them to have and give them a limitation. I am thinking a -1 level limitation, but I would like to get the opinions of more experienced Hero System players. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think you are on the right track. A custom Limitation to the effect - X movement can only be operated by pilots with X quality. The value is determined by how rare these pilots are in the campaign. There are plenty of examples of this in fiction - Dune and the spacing guild, Larry Niven's Known Space universe has FTL that requires the use of 'Mass Detectors' that can only be operated by sentient beings (no AI autopilots at FTL speed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuSoardGraphite Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The vehicle can have a large Aid to the pilots powers. Also the vehicle equipment can add useable on other with extended mass so the characters power works on the vehicle because of the psi booster equipment. Also a naked advantage of Megascale which applies to the Teleport where appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Also a Naked Advantage Usable As (Other Movement) to turn the Teleport into Transdimensional Move. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary wonders if this is how the Tardis works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaximander Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks! All of those options sound good. I'll just have to toy around with them to determine which fits the mood of my campaign world best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
