    Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!)

     

    I once had a dream where I first was hitting on Willow, then later becoming insubstantial and phasing into an airplane while up in the night sky.

     

    More recently, I was in a mostly abandoned school, passing out weaponry, and then leading a ragtag group of survivors through my city during an alien invasion.

    Decent beaches are made out of coral sand' date=' which is made out of... coral. Which exists symbiotically with algae. I suppose you could have an ecosystem that consists of nothing but coral, but it seems to me that given any life at all in a benign environment like seawater at 75 degrees, you'd get significant speciation in no time.[/quote']

     

    Is it possible to have a pleasant ocean without sealife?

    Re: Orbital Satellite Cannon in HERO 6th Edition?

     

    You have already gotten a couple different answers to your question, and part of the reason is that you posted stats for a GURPS gun, but we don't know what function this Killsat will have in your Game. As with so many things in Hero we need to start with "what do you want it to do?".

     

    For example, if a character pushes a button and a building explodes? Then it is an Indirect RKA with area of effect. The fact that the beam comes from a satellite is just a justification for the building getting leveled by an attack that does a ton of body.

     

    On the other hand, if the Killsat is an opponent that somebody (like the PCs ) need to fly up and destroy & save the city? In that case, you would build it as a vehicle with an onboard computer so it has stats & can be fought.

     

    A bit of both, really. It will function as an RKA most of the time, but does exist as a building/vehicle, and, so, can be boarded if a suitable spacecraft reaches it.

    Here is a satellite cannon from GURPS:

     

    Orbital Rainbow Laser Cannon (6dx5 (3) burn; Acc 3; 7,901 mi/7,901mi; Wt. -; RoF 1; ST -; Rcl 1)

     

    This is an orbital rainbow laser cannon capable of targeting any point on the surface of the Earth described as an Innate Attack. In order to use this ability, you must be in radio contact with the platform. The platform then positions itself for 4 seconds before discharging a blast from its cannon. The cannon then requires an hour to recharge before it can be used again. Unfortunately, the platform is quite old and in disrepair, resulting in a marked degree of unreliability.

     

    Innate Attack 30 (Burning) (Armor Divisor (3), +100%; Based on Different Attribute (Artillery, Beam), +20%; Increased 1/2D Range (x10), +30%; Increased Range (x200,000) +160%; Overhead, +30%; Takes Extra Time (4 seconds), -30%; Takes Recharge (1 hour), -30%; Trigger (Radio Contact, Common), -20%; Unreliable (8), -40%) [480] or [252]

    I'd like to model something similar in HERO. Where do I start?
