Anyone want to take a crack at playtesting these engines and posting a little feed back?

I've playtested a HD/Sports Trike PP w/SCs & PCs (1610 PFs) in a Light Trike w/Std. Chassis ( 1,600lbs Max. Load ) , in a racing event . Worked very well until I took a corner too fast , but that was my fault not the power plants !
It was nice to have a reasonably equiped Trike , with a 15 acceleration for a change .

Anti-ramplate ideas ?

Dropped weapons. Especially with Bumper Triggers. (Ram me and you'll die too, jerk!)

Get a Bigger ramplate.

Jump Jets.

Enough speed that the Ramplate can't catch you.

Idea:

Based off "Real World" Jumper Cables, a set of cables that allow you to transfer the charge from one electirc power plant to another. So you can revive a drained vehicle.

It wouldn't be vehicle mounted equipment, but could be useful cargo item for scenarios.

Anyone have cost and weight ideas ?

Slave Cable - $25, 5lbs. I'd have to figure out how many power units it could transfer.

Heavy Duty Slave Cable - $50, 10lbs. Used for over sized vehicles.

Hmm...well, this comes from the ADQ&A in issue 5/4:

Quote:

Could a vehicle with a solar panel recharge other vehicles?
Yes, but both must be stationary. Only one vehicle at a time may be charged.

Solar Panels are built into a vehicle, so I'd say this includes hooking the two vehicles together to transfer charge. Since they don't mention any extra required cables or skill checks to do it, I'd say that you don't need to buy a cable to "jump charge" another vehicle. The maximum charge you'd wind up with is half of the available PUs.

Assuming you'd even need one, the adaptor to go between oversized and non-oversized is probably included in a Tool Kit (or better).

Crystal Explosive Spikes: 5 x CPS, normal weight. Sighting rules as per Crystal Spikes. All other stats as per Explosive Spikes.

Tear Gas Additive: CPS variable, WPS 0. Must be used with all ammo in a magazine.
TGA is added to the ammunition of weapons that produce smoke as a side effect, such as flamethrowers. It causes the smoke produced to be treated as tear gas. CPS is 10 for each 1/2"x1" smoke counter produced by firing the weapon.

High-Viscosity Ammo: Used in flamethrowers of all types. Must be used with all ammo in a magazine. May not be combined with HT ammo.
CPS and WPS +25%. Range +1/3(round to nearest 1/2") or +3", whichever is greater. Burn mod -1, burn duration +2.

I always thought road torpedos would be fun. A micro trike (make it 1/2 to 1/3 of the size of the smallest trike chassis) with rocket boosters for power and use the kamibomb rules for the warhead. Add a remote control setup for guidance.

Very silly but it would be priceless to see someones face as it took a corner and kept coming after them.

Also considering so many things can go wrong with boosters and the low HC of remote vehicles it would be somewhat balanced.

Specialty Shotgun Ammo

Anti-Personnel Flechette Ammo - 2 x CPS, 2 x damage to pedestrians.
Rifled Slugs - 5 x CPS, full damage to vehicles.

I'd rather get rid of VSGs entirely and introduce FG ammo that can hurt vehicles (a little). The game doesn't need two weapons that are so similar, especially when both stink.
