Re: The Unoffial 2056 Vehicle Guide
FWIW, we use a no-drop zone on and near the jump ramps in Hammer Downs and it seems to work OK. (IE, we still see dropped weapons without them clogging up everything.)
The real fun part of Hammer Downs, though, is the Surface to Air Missiles. :)

I seem to recall that Hammer has four ramps over the central pit giving you four options as to how you can make your jump. You don't have to land in someone else's droppings. Additionally, it is going to be very hard for one person to make two jumps prior to anyone else making one. I guess my experience is different than yours but I actually had fun seeing someone take a D16 hazard upon landing (although the fun level may have been lower if I was the one taking the hazard)!!! |

Re: The Unoffial 2056 Vehicle Guide
The other fun part of Hammer Downs was using Mine Flingers, Oil guns and/or Spike guns to litter DWs on the 'clear' ramp someone else chose as their landing strip. Or using FCGS's to lay a line of flame cloud across the central pit just before someone else tries to jump.

level, but it takes some doing to accomplish. Short form: Most people only think of jumping from a ramp to the ramp immediately opposite. The instances I saw, the player would lay down a pattern diagonally across one ramp, then jump to a ramp perpendicular to the one he left, and lay down another diagonal pattern there. In one particularly-insane case, the driver did that to the upper ramps, then instead of taking a ramp to the lower level, jumped straight off the side of the upper level ramp, came around and took out the lower level jumps. (Metal Tires came in *Very* handy here....) Once it was proved possible -- and survivable -- the banhammer had to come down. Quote:
didn't blow out one or more tires, the subsequent handling loss would cause the victim to crash. In essence, the event became a variant of the "six- second duel of tires" which forced the banning of tire shots.

Re: The Unoffial 2056 Vehicle Guide
It always amuses me how people believe a bumper pressure activated HEAT round will not create lethal blowback to the firing vehicle... lol

Re: The Unoffial 2056 Vehicle Guide
Another hyper-specialized 'racing' design ... and it's Division 10 legal !
The Bunny -- Subcompact with Carbon-Aluminum frame; Standard Chassis; Heavy Suspension; 4 Puncture Resistant tires; Large Power Plant with Super Conductors and Platinum Catalysts and Heavy Duty High Torque Motors; Driver only; Spoiler; Airdam; 3 Smoke Dischargers (L, R, B), linked; Mini Rocket platform with 2 Light Rockets, linked; 67 points armor. (F18, B18, L8, R8, T5, U10). $9737, 2300 lbs. Acceleration : 15 mph/ sec (30 mph/ sec when HDHTMs are engaged) Top Speed : 180 mph (120 mph when HDHTMs are engaged) HC : 4 (5 when 60+ mph). Even comes in a 'Vorpal Bunny' variant. Vorpal Bunny -- remove 8 points of Armor, add Bumper Spikes (front) and Car Blades (Usual armor configuration, F:15 , L:8 , R:8 , B:15 , T:5 , U:8). Cost and weight are the same. If you don't play with weight for pedestrian equipment, you can even afford body armor. (otherwise, you'll have to strip off 2 points of vehicle armor to make up the weight of the driver's body armor). Last edited by Hemlock; 07-11-2009 at 05:57 AM. |
