If you are going to do a 'Revised Rule Book'. I would recommend having a centralized character creation for all era's. Have one or two mecha from each era in the revised rule book. Then make all the era books with the additional material. I remember suggesting this to Palladium about 8 years ago......

Colonel Wolfe

as Shadowlogan illustrated above, the Humans knew nothing about the booby-trap system, how the properly fold the ship or use the anti-grave systems... actually the canon comics say otherwise about gravity control. The rarity of these comics makes them problematic.. Looks like a move to make Lang lo...

Colonel Wolfe

It's not just "personal belief" when there is dialog and story support for the idea. I still don't see how one can prove the Master's would have knowledge of a system that wasn't installed onboard the ship when it was in their possession. a system they believe would allow a single ship to ...

Colonel Wolfe

This also assumes that there were not some sort of failsafe systems in either the Zentradis mecha/ships (along the lines of the Recall Beam) or in their psychological programing (safe words or the like). We really have no idea at all how the Masters viewed the possibility of a Zentradi rebellion. C...

Colonel Wolfe

actually they seem to think that's a deliberate feature so i'd guess that the master's own shield systems have a similar "generate a massive energy pulse" effect going on. presumbly they lacked the power to use it when they got to earth. (but since zor's ship had the protoculture factory ...

Colonel Wolfe

personally i've interprited that series of statments from the episodes as thus: the SDF-1 originally was equipped with a version of the Shield systems the master's motherships as seen using. but when it crashed on earth the system was not one that humanity had managed to reactivate/fully rebuild by...

Colonel Wolfe

Yeah, it is impossible to know. They didn't. The writers screwed up, and whatever is in the comic you mentioned was damage control that happened 20 years too late. no one's mentioned a Comic... "Prelude to Battle" is Episidoe # 43 . Though I admit I haven't watched the series in over a ye...

Colonel Wolfe

Funny, but the Invid's Proto-Plex Barrier sure looks and acts an awful lot like the SDF-01's Omni-Directional Barrier too. I guess they somehow managed to kidnap Doc Lang and force him to share his "discovery"..... Most likely that how the Master's knew of its existence as well.. They wer...

Colonel Wolfe

So they need a variant of the BAC with a heavy weapon. I disagree with how heavy, but your idea works for you. where is your proof to support the idea that its a variant? the RPG isn't a source for canon, the show is. The RPG is wrong, the show can't be wrong. I supplied screen shot from the actual...

Colonel Wolfe

The entire thing is bunk, though. Humans made the omni-barrier, yet the masters talk about it like it was part of the original design. Lang claims he made it, but most likely just figured out how to use a pre-existing system. this is supported by the opening dialog of episode one, which says most o...

Colonel Wolfe

Where are the RPG stats for these weapons mounted on the BAC? Like a most of problems in the Master's book, its is not stated because the writer didn't watch the episodes (this is a problem with each and every book published to date TBH), I just Sub the stats for the Heavy Particle beam gun off the...

Colonel Wolfe

What are these capital-level energy weapons the BAC mounts? the ones they use against the tri-star and other capital ships in the series, as well as use to destroy entire cities, only the Zent-Canon ships mount weapons that powerful. Master's ships are, 1 for 1, more heavily armed and armored. They...

Colonel Wolfe

That right there shows that A. the ASC has equipment to fight the Zentreadi on par (minimum) and B. the Masters out-class the Zentreadi even in the depleted state they are in Exactly, the problem is looking at the Bioroids as weak or underarmed. if one goes by the Canon OSM of the footage and takes...

Colonel Wolfe

One thought may be that the Masters, being so low on protoculture, didn't feel the need to commit their aerospace platforms, which likely have a pretty high power usage. They are generally dismissive of the human's capabilities, and if these craft were capable of dealing with large Invid and Zentra...

Colonel Wolfe

Can we rename this to a topic about the ajax? I don't see much of any talk about the Master's space units... just more Ajax bashing...

Colonel Wolfe

Would the AGAC be capable of carrying reflex missiles? well the hard points could carry one fighter LRM each in the RPG, so i'd say they could could carry the reflex missiles the VF-1's used against the zentreadi. not sure what the stats would be on that one though.. certainly would need to do more...

Big craters....lots of new churned-up wetland(at least until new drainage paths are established by nature). Insect breeding grounds. all highly radio-active areas, most don't even have plants growing in them until the Invid era. There is alot more unrealistic problems in Robotech i'd be worried abo...

Colonel Wolfe

What does this bring to the party that either the dedicated space fighter doesn't? And how does it out perform the Macross super VT? Standard Fighters lack decent combat bonuses nor auto-dodge. The Base Ajax has an Auto-dodge in every mode, compared to the limitations of the VF-1 being locked in Fi...

Colonel Wolfe

Pretty much, it looks cool, and after the planet has been bombarded and 90% of all life incinerated... swarms of bugs in the desolation aren't a huge issue? (maybe?) if were are going into that level or realism in the game to where we need to worry about this, then we should apply that level of real...

Colonel Wolfe

I'm curious if that's true. Design notes of the hardware depicted may have been written before the show was animated. It would make logical sense if that were the case. It would also make sense that those notes weren't followed faithfully for the purposes of dramatization. Design notes that are cre...

Technically speaking... the show is the sole depiction of the performance of hardware.. it came first, and all other works are derivatives of that depiction.

I suggest waiting to hear his answer before the conjecture starts. Indeed. Just wanted to explain myself. The Logan was written to be poor mecha the got ker-ploded in the back ground.

Colonel Wolfe

Plus PW setting makes Space Fold Drives unreliable IIRC (though it may just be the 3G hasn't figured out how to properly Fold given the Intruders use Space Folding) so RT ships overall mobility is much less. IIRC, Robotech uses Hyper-space Fold drives... not the same ting as a simple space-fold dri...

I believe Breetai says, "Full barrage, all cannons." This is followed by seeing his 3 mile long flag ship opening up with the business, which destroys several earth defender ships, yeah. Considering the pain zentradi craft can put out in their stats, I'm pretty sure everything is tissue p...

Colonel Wolfe

Yeah, but weren't the ASC ships low armor? And missiles are pretty universal in Palladium as far as range and damage. Beam weapons are what set the settings apart. Not in the Show, the ASc ships are the only ones in the show that are involved in ship to ship combat and survive. The Oberth's in the ...

Technically, so did Scott in the original series — at least, he did during his initial attack; I saw no indication of a pilot in the Beta to which his Alpha was docked during the descent. TBH, I haven't seen TSC in a long time, so I can't remember exactly what the "Beta" they used did... ...

Colonel Wolfe

The appearance of Betas (docked to Alphas, no less) in LLA is more problematic, as this explicitly contradicts the core RPG book's dates concerning the Beta. That said, it could be a case of the Betas as a fully separate unit from the Alphas being a much more recent development, with the 2030s havi...

I was mostly running something off the cuff, to work on moving back toward the original topic of the thread. the HLS format isn't really one that needs to have much definition. I should have made it late 10's early 20's.. I think Lang could develop rudimentary AI's from the one that programs Janice-M.
