I am greatly interested in this game. Do you want my Discord name or will you shoot me a link to your channel? How do we start off here?

MDGiest

Ah, ok. Thanks much for the info.

Just curious to know if there will be an Open House this coming year? IE-2024. I am very eager to know, since I finally live close enough to attend! We moved from Texas to Indiana a year ago, just not in time for me to attend the 2023 Open House. Anyways, if anyone has any info, that would be awesom...

Hey folks,

Older gamer (45) that just moved to Fort Wayne recently. I am looking to join a group here locally or possibly start a new one. If anyone has a line on a game or wants to start up a new one, please contact me either here or at the email below.

This is just my thoughts on Robotech Tactics...and it's death so to speak. I have been a huge Robotech fan ever since I was like 7 when I watched the toon on TV. At 12 I discovered Palladiubooks Robotech RPG and had so much fun with it over the years. In fact, it was because of Robotech that I came ...

MDGiest

Ok, so this question is pretty straightforward. I have read the entire section on the Gun Master over and over again trying to figure this out. What WPs does the Gun Master have? ALL Modern WPs? Or does he only get the strike bonuses from the Sharpshooting skill(s)? The text implies in several place...

MDGiest

What were they dong so close to the combat? --flatline Honestly, I don't know for sure as the GM never expounded on it, but I have two theories; 1. This is a case of the dice gods hating on a GM for rolling randomly for something so important. 2. The GM had this planned out, and the armored column ...

Thought I would throw in my bit about changing canon in a campaign, as I did it once, all on my lonesome. We had a group of 7 players, and the GM had decided to run a combination Juicer Uprising & War on Tolkeen campaign, basically started with the Uprising and rolled right on over into the Tolk...

So I meant for these to be part of the FAQ, I guess, but I apparently went about submitting them the wrong way. No worries though. I have looked these up via the FAQ ( and incidentally found answers to questions I had not thought up yet!), so none of these should be repeats of already asked question...

Ok, so I was looking over this new RCC and I came across something odd & disturbing. In place of OCC Related Skills is Are of Specialty. Alright no problem with that. Pick 5 skills from one category...ok. And then...nothing? What, these guys can't learn new skills related to their field of exper...

I'd like to point something out. Yes, the SAMAS is pure military. But, the T-21 Terrain Hopper is not for example. It is even listed as being used for civilian purpose such as delivering mail. The Behemoth Explorer is also noted as being a non-military vehicle. So where does that put us?

Does anyone else who's played Fallout 3 think that Kevin should consider Bethesda if he ever want's to make a Rifts video game? It's pretty much all there except the magic, but they've done that in the Elder Scrolls game so it wouldn't be much of a stretch combine the two. I would second this motio...

Ok, but it is a tank versus the price of a glorified 4 wheeler! This has got to be some sort of error.

Ok so I just noticed for the first time today these prices in particular; GAW M1A3 Improved Abrams, Cost: 200,000 credits GAW M113 Improved APC, Cost: 80,000 credits GAW 998 Improved Hummer, Cost: 95,000 credits GAW FAV Spec Ops Dune Buggy, Cost: 270,000 credits Now am I the only one who sees a prob...

Ok this is one that has got me a bit POed at a GM right now. I have 2 copies of the RUE, one printer in 2005 the other in 2007. Now I don't know if there are 2008 prints also, but I would have to assume so. The questions concerns Pilot: Robots & Power Armor as well as Robot Combat Elite & Ba...

New merc unit forming on Explorers Unlimited! We're looking for Power Armor & Robot Pilots of all OCC types, Mechanics(Psit Techs, Operators, & Techno Wizards welcome), as well as an aircraft pilot or 2. Just send a PM to Gannon on the EU forum.

Just picked up my copy of Shadow Chronicles and when I first saw the book from a distance I told the shop clerk that they had ordered the wrong thing. This was purely based on the manga scale of the book itself. Now just out of curiosity...but what the smeg were you folks at Palladium thinking? I no...

MDGiest

Well, you really cant say that the RUE superceeds the old rules of Robotech in this aspect. The mecha of Robotech are incredibly different (especially all Veritech type mecha) and therefor you cant apply the same Robot Combat rules to them. For example, the Alpha fighter along with a few other mecha...

Damage for SDC weapons got integrated into their W.P. descriptions, for the most part. So look in the skill section. The old payload % used per burst, X20 for your emptying the whole clip at one target, etc, has largely been thrown out. This is one of a very few parts about Rifts Unlimited wherein ...

Ok, I was just looking through the RUE to see if there was an update to automatic firing weapons.

[/qoute]the specific models don't exist but particle beam, ion, and laser weapons DO exist. As do plasma and railguns. Those are real, although in the prototype stages, they still exist.

I'd like to point out 2 things here. One, I started this thread as a question on what the weapons of a Logan VT are...not to discuss what weapons have recoild and which don't. To say the least it has strayed from topic <shrug>. Two, you guys do realize your debating the recoil properties of a weapon...

MDGiest

Still, why was the MAC all by itself? That's a mecha that needs to be a part of a balanced strike team, with other Destroids for close-in support, and maybe some Cyclones or VHTs for long-range sniping roles. I repeat; "There were a half dozen Borgs on the ground around it along with one of those I...

Jefffar wrote:Since when isn't the REF mecha Laser Resistant? They do use the VHT after all.

I agree with you Jeffar...I was under the impression that all mecha from 2nd generation onward had the laser resistant armor. Why would they JUST put it on a suti of body armor and NOT the mecha? Makes no sense.

MDGiest

In the original Japanese ASC, I think the tri-cannon may have been an auto-cannon and not an energy weapon. However, the ion cannon makes about as much as anything else. Yeah I thought maybe it was similar to the VHTs tri-barel autocannon too. It would be nice to see the design notes from the origi...

MDGiest

I was thinking the Tri-Cannon in the nose might be ion since the SC seems to make use of ion weaponry in a a few other mecha as well. <shrug>

MDGiest

Does anyone know what type of energy the E-20 and Tri-Cannon on the Logan VT fire? Im going to assume laser, but it could be laser and ion respectively too. Any clues?

MDGiest

Grand Paladin wrote:All ASC mecha and body armor is laser resistant.

HOWEVER.

Only REF CVR-3 is laser resistant. That's it. No other REF mecha has the laser resistant coating that ASC employs.

Isnt that what I said?

It just occured to me that there something I havent seen mentioned on here, although I may have missed it. The Southern Cross and REF mecha ALL are laser resistant so that they only take 1/2 damage from laser weapons. Now, the book specifically says "A new developement in armor is a laser resistant ...
