  1. Re: The Atlantis city-ship from Stargate:Atlantis -> vehicle or base? I would make it a BASE ADDING in FTL and FLIGHT WITH massive KS rolls in Ancient Physics star charts DR Mckay Skills are at around INT 40 at least independent someone could steal parts or the whole city. The only ones able to make more are nanotech creations themselves.
  2. Re: What's in the moon? Spock!
  3. Re: What if spells were like weapons? I went open ended magic with end reserve rec once / day very powerfull buy slots for number of active spells enchanting items locks out slot for a month creating a item with independent note magic items once created the end cost for using it comes normal end all items must have charges which is max uses per day week, ...
  4. Re: Rail gun damage? Yes but I assume torch ships with acceleration to mid point flip and slow down. Which makes bullets in the samr bracket again they don't get the extra G's but on the other end they do speed up towards planets and other massive bodies. Star Trek's speeds are hard to think the few sat's I worked with the delta-Vee ability wasn't much. The life of a sat is limited mainly by how much fuel it can carry to correct it's "orbit" which it the geometry we use there is no such thing as a orbit. It's a straight following the folds of space. Most Gameing systems require artificial Gravity and gravity compensator. So you can ignore that problem or it's possible with the right charges the gun could be a part of the deflector system and firing it might even cause the ship to go faster behind a bigger bubble. But lets leave the two headed Lama's out of it. Push Me Pull You's but that's a longer story. the game system would all in all call it some form of a STR Min or Size Min.
  5. Re: Rail gun damage? slug throwers even at the SR-71's speed become dusters. Put it up in front and let it run into it. The old phrase faster than a speeding bullet. Comes to mind. The sat crash the other week. Or the first car to car crash really bad luck and very small orbits. compared to interplanetary space.
  6. Re: Rail gun damage? since it's based on hexes per segment it should be logarithmic in function by the nature of movement. i played a traveler but rail guns get real power in the moon to earth shot! It makes nothing short of a nuke! Thowing rocks down hill some 200,000 miles (i know moon 250K) Lagrange Point down to earth. you get all the adds for falling long falls. Using 12 ton ore cars big bang little force. A weapon that I've thought about is dropping 1 inch dia super balls from a 747 in massive amounts it might be figured out to be something like 10 2d6 Normal attacks stun total one attack body of each pair separate. Guess max speed for super balls somewhere close to tucked in skydiving 200 mph compared with 120 mph of stable spread. AOE very large! Or same idea with steel darts around 4 to 5 oz a piece pointed aerodynamic for best max speed. Guess about 400 mph. but the 500,000 pounds of therm is a staggering thought. next ping pong balls filled with napalm type mixture that ignites as it melts the ping pong balls. A CBU on steroids if you get two or three bounces before blowing you should have a good chance of putting a small fire bomb through every open window and door. Windows by Dow Chemical. notes fron SAS during WW II most successful fire bomb of WW II was a book of Matches and a Cigarette. Lite the cigarette place it along the match heads fold cover over the cigarette to hold in place toss into pi;rd of rags and trash like;y to burn quickly and spread to other targets. Tex Jones designed after Kelly Johnson inventor of the Skunk Works, Tex Johnson a Boeing Test Pilor and Indiana Jones with fear of snakes total carries the o;d 45 Cal M1911A to kill snakes must make ego roll at 1/2 to avoid panic firing all the rounds in t he clip, second roll at ego -2 to avoid throwing gun at the snake. Gets a plus of 1 every 2 points per roll discovering snaked is dead. Love low tech weapon in a high tech world. Run Coke through drip Coffee maker into air vents on back of computer. Bleach filled Super Soakers. pepper filled egg shells. paint ball guns filled with epoxy resin and catalyst must have two shots of auto fire to become a entangle
  7. Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... As various charaters passed through a portal into a under water adventure the first four change into a trout, salmon, stingray, and barracuda. Our Alalatean Member a water brathing race in this world changed into a "I'll change into a Dolphin!" The problem being Dolphins are great swimers but need to breathe!
  8. Re: Rail gun damage? ref: Robert Heinlin "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" Rail guns are a kentic weapon as such it gets mass x speed squared type of damage. Earth is a hard place for space launches and rail guns gravity and atmosphere work against you. The moon on the other hand 1/6 gravity 0 atmosphere and direct sun light makes the idea of shooting a slug of iron into space much easier. dammage for low earth orbital (LEO) slugs str = weight of slug + speed / 5 5 hex / sec = 1 G LEO 18,000 MPH = 14616000 HEXS PER HOUR DIVIDE BY 3600 Seconds in a hour roughly 4000 hexs / sec (4060) 20Gee rail gun = flight 100" x 32 NC = 3200 at speed 12 32 seconds to launch 200 x 32 at speed 6 3200 / 5 = 640 d6 of dammage ship scale 1/100 6d6 of ship dammage
