[Pyramid 3-37] Beam Weapon Design and Ultra-Tech

Tzeentch · 12-27-2011, 08:53 PM

David's Eidetic Memory article in Pyramid 3-37 was a design sequence for beam weapons. I bought the issue yesterday and cranked out a design spreadsheet for it real fast (it's what I do). Assuming a few things I spotted as possible errata are fixed I'll see where I can post it. It should automate everything, even the LC calculation.

Note: The beam weapon design sequence has been in constant flux since GURPS Vehicles, Second Edition and the Pyramid design system is similar to, but different, from the version used in the Ultra-Tech 4e draft. It's been interesting to see how this system has changed over time, as I believe it's had more iterations than even the projectile weapon sequence (which is saying something).

I've gone through and emulated all of the Ultra-Tech designs that fall under this system. Most of the UT guns were somewhat "eyeballed" after their first iteration was cranked through the playtest draft system so don't expect perfect matches, but they should be very close (exception seems to be the very large beam weapons, which vary quite a bit in weight).

* First up are the lasers and rainbow lasers. *

Nothing in the design sequence itself, but the descriptions appear to be wrong in a few spots. I want to make sure that they, not the design numbers, are incorrect.

Here's what I've found:

p. 12 FOCAL ARRAY

* The stated range multipliers are incorrect (do not match the design sequence values - see Range, p. 13).

* Second sentence should read:

Decide if the weapon has a tiny (¥0.1), very small (¥0.3), small (¥0.5), medium (¥1), large (¥2), very large (¥4), or extremely large (¥8) focal array relative to typical weapons of its class.

p. 13 DAMAGE

* The example Vega Machine Pistol should have an armor divisor of (3), not (2).

p. 14 SHOTS

* Weight for B cells should be 0.05 lb, not 0.5 lbs.

Tzeentch Join Date: Aug 2004	[Pyramid 3-37] Beam Weapon Design and Ultra-Tech David's Eidetic Memory article in Pyramid 3-37 was a design sequence for beam weapons. I bought the issue yesterday and cranked out a design spreadsheet for it real fast (it's what I do). Assuming a few things I spotted as possible errata are fixed I'll see where I can post it. It should automate everything, even the LC calculation. Note: The beam weapon design sequence has been in constant flux since *GURPS Vehicles, Second Edition* and the Pyramid design system is similar to, but different, from the version used in the *Ultra-Tech* 4e draft. It's been interesting to see how this system has changed over time, as I believe it's had more iterations than even the projectile weapon sequence (which is saying something). I've gone through and emulated all of the Ultra-Tech designs that fall under this system. Most of the UT guns were somewhat "eyeballed" after their first iteration was cranked through the playtest draft system so don't expect perfect matches, but they should be very close (exception seems to be the very large beam weapons, which vary quite a bit in weight). * First up are the lasers and rainbow lasers. * BEAM WEAPONS (PISTOL) TL Weapon Damage Acc Range Weight RoF Shots ST Bulk Rcl Cost LC 10 Heavy Laser Pistol 4d(2) burn 6 320/960 3.4/2C 10 56(3) 6 -2 1 $2,400.00 3 10 Holdout Laser 2d(2) burn 3 80/240 0.35/1B 10 22(3) 2 -1 1 $300.00 3 10 Laser Pistol 3d(2) burn 6 180/540 1.5/1C 10 66(3) 4 -2 1 $1,000.00 3 BEAM WEAPONS (RIFLE) TL Weapon Damage Acc Range Weight RoF Shots ST Bulk Rcl Cost LC 9 Assault Laser 4d(2) burn 12 640/1920 2.4/1Dp 1 35(5) 3† -3 1 $1,200.00 3 9 Large Sniper Rifle 5d(2) burn 12 1000/3000 4.6/1Dp 1 18(5) 5† -3 1 $2,300.00 3 10 Dinosaur Laser 8d(2) burn 12 1300/3900 15/1Dp 1 35(5) 9† -6 1 $7,500.00 1 10 Laser Carbine 5d(2) burn 12 500/1500 5.6/2C 10 28(3) 5† -4 1 $4,600.00 2 10 Laser Rifle 6d(2) burn 12 720/2160 8/8Dp 10 666(5) 6† -4 1 $8,000.00 2 10 Survival Laser 4d(2) burn 12 320/960 3.4/2C 6 56(3) 4† -3 1 $2,400.00 3 GUNNER (BEAMS) TL Weapon Damage Acc Range Weight RoF Shots ST Bulk Rcl Cost LC 9 Area Defense Laser 6dx5(2) burn 18 36000/108000 1000/10Fp 1 83(5) 76M -10 1 $500,000.00 1 9 Point Defense Laser 6dx3(2) burn 18 9000/27000 130/1Fp 1 66(5) 27M -10 1 $65,000.00 1 9 Semi-Portable Laser 6d(2) burn 18 1400/4200 10/1Ep 10 104(5) 8M -6 1 $10,000.00 2 10 Gatling Laser 6dx2(2) burn 18 2900/8700 64/1Ep 4 104(5) 19M -10 1 $64,000.00 1 10 Laser Cannon 6dx10(2) burn 18 72000/216000 6400/10Fp 1 83(5) 192M -10 1 $3,200,000.00 1 10 Strike Laser 6dx5(2) burn 18 18000/54000 800/1Fp 1 66(5) 68M -10 1 $400,000.00 1 BEAM WEAPONS (PISTOL) TL Weapon Damage Acc Range Weight RoF Shots ST Bulk Rcl Cost LC 11 Heavy Rainbow Laser Pistol 4d(3) burn 6 900/2700 4/2C 10 56(3) 7 -3 1 $3,000.00 3 11 Holdout Rainbow Laser 2d(3) burn 3 220/660 0.45/1B 10 22(3) 2 -1 1 $400.00 3 11 Rainbow Laser Pistol 3d(3) burn 6 500/1500 1.8/1C 10 66(3) 4 -2 1 $1,300.00 3 BEAM WEAPONS (RIFLE) TL Weapon Damage Acc Range Weight RoF Shots ST Bulk Rcl Cost LC 10 Dinosaur Rainbow Laser 8d(3) burn 12 3600/10800 19/1Dp 1 8(5) 10† -7 1 $9,500.00 1 10 Rainbow Laser Rifle 6d(3) burn 12 2000/6000 10/1Dp 10 20(5) 7† -5 1 $10,000.00 2 10 Rainbow Laser Carbine 5d(3) burn 12 1400/4200 6.8/2C 10 7(3) 6† -4 1 $5,800.00 2 10 Rainbow Survival Laser 4d(3) burn 12 900/2700 4/2C 6 14(3) 4† -3 1 $3,000.00 3 GUNNER (BEAMS) TL Weapon Damage Acc Range Weight RoF Shots ST Bulk Rcl Cost LC 11 Rainbow Gatling Laser 6dx2(3) burn 18 8100/24300 80/1Ep 4 103(5) 21M -10 1 $80,000.00 1 11 Rainbow Laser Cannon 6dx10(3) burn 18 200000/600000 8000/10Fp 1 82(5) 215M -10 1 $4,000,000.00 1 11 Rainbow Strike Laser 6dx5(3) burn 18 50000/150000 1000/1Fp 1 66(5) 76M -10 1 $500,000.00 1 Heavy Laser Pistol: TL 10 Laser Pistol with Small focal array and Light Automatic generator.

I want to make sure that they, not the design numbers, are incorrect. Here's what I've found: p. 12 FOCAL ARRAY * The stated range multipliers are incorrect (do not match the design sequence values - see Range, p. 13). * Second sentence should read: Decide if the weapon has a tiny (¥0.1), very small (¥0.3), small (¥0.5), medium (¥1), large (¥2), very large (¥4), or extremely large (¥8) focal array relative to typical weapons of its class. p. 13 DAMAGE * The example Vega Machine Pistol should have an armor divisor of (3), not (2). p. 14 SHOTS * Weight for B cells should be 0.05 lb, not 0.5 lbs.
