Re: What should be DROPPED from HERO?
 

Honestly, I don't think Penetrating was considered when AP was repriced.  I agree with AP at -1/4.  Pre-6e, AP attacks tended to sit, seldom used, in Swiss Army Multipowers.  High defense characters typically Hardened their defenses, and low defense characters were hit harder by, say, 12d6 normal than 8d6 AP anyway.
 
On the other hand, AP seldom results in BOD damage like Penetrating KAs do.  Maybe the advantage should be higher for KAs/inflicting BOD.

Bad news for Gemini's as Dracula is looking at two for the price of one.
Those born under the sign of Cancer and Pisces should stay away from the beach as The Creature from the Black Lagoon is looking for crabs and fish.
If the moon is rising in your sign beware of werewolves
The fire signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius need not worry about the Mummy, he needs to be worried about them.
Frankenstein's monster is looking for a mate so Virgos watch out !

Temporal physics is the only "oddball science" I remember someone actually taking in a game, where time travel was at least encountered. But given the established Star Trek milieu, a number of other potential ones come to mind.
 
Optometry and audiology. Dealing with species who see or hear at different ranges than Humans, or are sensitive to different intensities; not to mention lacking those senses at all.
 
Nutrition/Dietitian. Various species have unique physiologies and biochemistries, so must have a range of distinctive nutritional requirements.
 
Hematology. We have at least one official Trek race whose hemoglobin is based on copper rather than iron.
 
Astronautics. The principles behind designing vehicles for space travel.
 
Subspacial geometry, since they regularly access subspace for things like long-range communication.
 
Psychology/Therapy. We have Klingons for whom aggression and bloodlust are fundamental traits; Vulcans who suppress all emotion; Betazoid telepaths; joined Trills with literal multiple personalities. Imagine what a ship's counselor would really need to understand.
 
Zoology. Every newly discovered planet is going to have its own unique life forms, some dangerous to humanoids. Good to know how to recognize them. And related to that:
 
Virology. There have been a number of references in the series to infectious diseases which have crossed species from entirely separate ecosystems.

Was Barry white?
Was Clint black?
Was Marvin gay?
Was George straight?
 
It sure makes Stevie wonder.
 

Conversion equipment costs one tenth of the 'mech's total tonnage (same as internal structure).
 
Oh, sorry.  Was reading Battletech stuff...
