Triax Glitter Boys-Reinforced Pilot's Compartments?
Triax apparently built the T-550 (And later the T-700 Fat Boy and T-710 Hell Angel) based on the original Chromium Guardsman plans. I find it odd that none of the Triax GB's have a reinforced pilot's compartment like the original. Was this an oversight? (And if so was errata ever released or a new p...

Re: The Lord of the Deep's "Calling"
The definition of the call's area is on Page 48 Of WB7 Underseas, last chapter before the Sea Inquisitor. 1,000 Mile strip or diameter (Diameter likely being at sea), once or twice a year. It's semi-subconsciously activated basically. But for a strip (Of coast presumably) it says nothing about how f...

The Lord of the Deep's "Calling"
It's mentioned in WB7 Underseas that the LotD occasionally puts out a psionic "call" that can cover something like 1,000 miles of coastline. But it does not state how far inland the effect of the "Calling" propagates. Anyone have any ideas? I was leaning towards 15-30 miles inlan...

Re: Genetic Engineering and Bio-Wizardry?
I do not think Mindwerks does either. All of their minions/goons/experiments are either M.O.M. based, Psynetic tech (Development of M.O.M.) or cybernetic/bionic. No real mention of either genetic engineering or bio-wizardry.

In WB2, High Lords are described as being a combined priest, wizard, and alchemist. Now a lot of this is seemingly a function in society as opposed to a class, but there is also mention in a few places of "Splugorth Alchemists" (Example: Descriptions of the Kittani underwater power armors ...

At least two of them however are not described, these being Spectral Sword and Ghost Ship. Now, Spectral Sword I am fairly certian I saw somewhere, but cannot recll whe...

Re: Kittani weapons of the Three Galaxies
I'm leaning towards The Energy Pulse weapons for close-quarters combat units, Ship's Troops, security etc. Then the HI lasers (K-80?) for frontline infantry, and lastly the K-15 reverse engineered mechanoid rifle for Power armor troops and as a designated marksman rifle.

Ok, I noticed something about almost all of the Kittani small arms (Not counting the undersea ones); Just about all of the Kittani weapons listed in the Atlantis book are knock-offs of some other manufacturer (Wilks, Coalition, Triax, Juicer rifles). Now I can understand the Kittani not wanting to s...

I noticed that in the d3escription of Eyes of Eylor there are 3 mentions of PPE that the Eyes have.

Now where it is less clear is with items using the ...

Re: Eye of Eylor force fields?
I noticed the Eye price in the slave section is 100 million+, and the one in the bio-wizard section is 20 million or so and does not do as much. So I guess for my campaign will just have both typs, if you want the eye-forcefield (Or spells), you pay the extra 80 million+ for them. They either altere...

Re: Kittani Hover Pods-Sensors?
I'm leaning towards power armor level sensor suite for the Speed Pod, and Robot level sensors for the War Pod. Reasoning is the War Pod is very close to aircraft like the NG Sky King and the Coalition Sky Cycle, and both of those have robot vehicle class sensor suites. The Speed Pod, not being inten...

Triax 2 XM-350 Rhino. Designation number typo?
Triax 2 introduced an XM-350 Rhino Heavy Hovertank. It's a nice vehicle But I am wondering if it should have been XM-360. The reason of course is that there already is an XM-350 in the original Triax book. The XM-350 Leopard III APC. It's obviously still in service, the standard APC for the NGR army...

It doesn't say that either of them have any sort of sensor arrays, but it makes some sense that since the war pod can travel at up to Mach 2 at low altitude, that the level of NOE flying requird for that would demand at least radar. The fact that the 1-man War Pod carries minimissiles and a heavy tw...

3: It uses integral E-Clip/Ammo mags. Basically each magazine carries a smaller energy cell with enough power to fire the magazine's complement of shells.
