Re: Stuff I felt should exist....
[QUOTE=DSumner]Okay, here's a couple of my home brew goodies. I'll add more later.
Caseless Ammo – 2x cost, ½ weight of normal ammo. Available for MG, VMG, and AC. [QUOTE] According to one of the State-of-the-Art articles in ADQ 7/2 (?) most MG , VMG etc ammo is already caseless . The only exception being ammo for older HVMGs in Military use , but this would have little effect on game dynamics . If Tech level 8 is equipment is available in a campaign , MG etc ammo can be reduced in weight by 25% - so I would stick with this limit if you do want use your rules , 50% is too much .

thanks. :) i can shoot you a PM, or you could ask the questions here. those weapons are planned for a PBEM, so any open crits on how they might work, price, etc., would be great to get from everyone/anyone before the game starts. if you'd rather not, i'll PM you. j |

Re: Stuff I felt should exist....
oh, and there's no mention about what happens once the ammo is ejected. i doubt it creates a hazard. it's probably similar to driving over a Sponge Bob lunch box or something.
and i suppose that if someone where to pick it up, it'd be re-usable. |

Mag Shot Hi-Density Gauss Ammo: CPS 2x normal, WPS1.5 x normal, +1 point per die damage. DROPPED SOLIDS Acid Mines (AM): CPS 75, WPS 5.

DROPPED GASES Acid Cloud Ejector (ACE): 1 hit damage, $2,000, 100 lbs., 1 DP, 2 spaces, 10 Shots, CPS 50, WPS 5, Loaded Cost $2,500 weight 150 lbs. Loaded magazine costs $550, weighs 65 lbs. When fired an Acid Cloud Ejector creates what appears to be a normal ½" x 1" cloud of mist (smoke), that lasts for 3 turns. Any vehicle, or pedestrian, passing through the cloud is coated with a highly corrosive solvent, that will inflict 1 hit to the pedestrian, and/or every exposed vehicle component, and armor location, every turn they're in the cloud, and then for an additional 1d6 turns after passing through the cloud. Note: Special thanks to kjamma4, for suggesting the name ACE. DROPPED LIQUIDS Corrosive Solvent: Corrosive Solvent, or Acid Spray, CPS 5x normal, WPS normal. Any standard Oil Jet, Fluid Gun, or Oil Discharger can use Corrosive Solvent. Corrosive Solvent can not be mixed with other oil ammunition in the same magazine. A loaded magazine costs $675, weighs 65lbs. Creates what appears to be a standard ½”x1” oil counter. Any vehicle tire coming in contact with any part of the counter suffers 1d-1 tire damage each turn it’s in contact with the counter. DEFENSIVE Laser Inhibiting Aerosol: CPS 2.5x normal, WPS 2x normal weight. Looks and works like a normal smoke screen, but completely blocks all laser fire. Available for SS, HDSS, and GS.

Re: Stuff I felt should exist....
We've seen a lot of modifications on what the armour could do (e.g. fireproof, laser reflective, etc.) but I don't recall any changes to the efective weight of armour. So, here they are, fresh from the labs:
Foamed Aluminium Armour (FA Armor) - Base Metal Armour Cost X 2, Base Metal Armour Weight X 0.5. FA Armour is treated as as metal armour with one exception, non-explosive weapon hits remove a point of FA Armour on a 5 or 6. Explosive weapon hits remove a point of FA Armour on a 4 or 6. High Density Plastic Armour (HD Plastic Armour) - Base Plastic Armour Cost X 1.5, Base Plastic Armour Weight X 0.8. Treated like normal plastic armour, only each damage roll of 1 leaves a point of armour. It acts like metal armour that loses a point of armour on a roll of 2 to 6. Explosive weapons always remove amour.
