at the speeds involved, density and material only effect the shape of the crater. we're talking speeds that can only be reasonably measured in miles per SECOND. at those speeds anything that isn't gas or plasma has the same impact effects. as for your example, if water hits anything while travelling...

Basically, the reason we call it magic is because it defies the laws of phsyics. Magic always has the trump card . . . if the person weilding it can do so intellegently and with the requisite level of belief. An impenetrable wall of force, just above Atlantis could very likely stop the rock, provid...

Okay - that "post" which I call flame bait you put up Glitter boy? Don't use my posts to air your grievances - the same goes for anyone else. If you want to get a point across? Fine - be civil about it... i was being as civil as i could. i'm afraid i had to deal with idiot fan boys at robotech.com ...

I would rule that such an extinction-level event would only inflict a few hundred to a few thousand points of MDC. Outside of that, you've got vampires, lycanthropes, people with the "Invulnerability" spell, creatures or beings that are impervious to energy, you could stop the asteroid with an Impe...

based on what i've read, most of you seem to have little understanding of orbital mechanics. if the orbitals did decide to drop a chunk of rock on earth in the hopes of clearing it of the unwanted 'guests', there would be next to nothing anyone could do to stop it, unless you could stop it from star...

cept the REF was designed to fight 'the last war'. EI: the Zentreadi. with a little planned for the masters, based on what little the zents knew. and the zents are smart enough to notice rank basic color schemes, and if the zents can notice, the masters definately could. the invid cant see color, bu...

personally, i doubt nose art for Vt's would make a comeback, though you might see it on destroids.

i would assume custom squadron insignia on the tailfins of VT's though. perhaps with minor idividual variations. basically an out growth of the current squadron ID markings.

It seems you've gotten the question answered already, but I'm throwing my 2 cents in anyway. Glitterboy2098 identified Macross II as happening 50 years after DYRL; he's about 20+ years off, the anime specifically says that its been 80 years since the Macross (the name of the SDF-1) crashed on Earth...

robotech research has a base already made (overrun by invid, but has listings for pre-invid use.)

likely around 20 some years after Macross 2's zent war. when the VF-1 Valkyries went obsolete.


the Space Augmentation Pack would be a con-current development.

my rebuttle:



Who could beleive an ant in theory?
A giraffe in blueprint?
Ten thousand doctors of what's possible
Could reason half the jungle out of being.

sometimes logic is a bit less straight foreward as you think.

the metal siren is part of Macross 2. Macross 2 is a unofficial sequal to Macross DYRL (do you remember love), which was a theatrical re-telling of the events in Super-dimensional Fortress MACROSS, which became the macross segment of robotech here in the states. so the metal siren is NOT part of rob...

i always ignored the "colors indicating rank" stuff. officers are the first targets in any war, so you make them easy to spot? are we trying to get them killed? the VF-1's with their head rank system was a little more palatable, since the heads were the only thing different. besides, if you watch th...

as far as content, spirit west is one of the better ones. what I didn't like is the stereotypical "hollywood" portrayal of the native americans. they combined mythologies from a dozen different native american nations, and tried to pass it off as a "universal" native american culture that covered a ...

OOC: I recall the 1D in the openning of the series, Rick's 1J thought most of his piloting experience, taking on Skull one (1S), when he stole the armored VT (which was a 1J under the amor), and the Super VT (another 1S), but I don't recall anything else, other then a Gladiator... he's sitting by a...

OOC - i only bring it up because it is SEEN in the show. Obviously a prototype and one that was never made into a production model. (since it doesnt appear later in the show). I know it isnt in the palladium books, but i included it because it was in the show, which is the same reason it was includ...

According to the storyline, the Kittani actually have quite powerful space technology at their disposal... we just haven't seen it in any of the books yet. If the Kitanni have such powerful space technology why is there no mention of it? You say according to the story line, where is such a storylin...

1. Make your own power armor using Sourcebook 1 rules for Robot creation. 2. Get ahold of a Robotech Cyclone and upgrade the armor to Rifts standards. 3. Take any suit of power armor and hook a Wilk's Laser Torch to the nuclear power supply. You can now fire full-clip bursts with unlimited ammo as ...

since i've only heard zents use the term, i'd say thats what the call themselves. probably an accent thing. or dialect? maybe the officers have better diction, and the grunts use a more slangy speak? who cares, lets get back to the class. i liked the crusader, though as a flyboy i only got to suppor...

i voted kyle, mostly because minmei's annoying traits come from sheer innocence (read: ignorance), and the fact she seems to have only ONE song for 90% of the show. otherwise she is easy to ignore. annie is in the same boat. annoying merely because she lacks any knowledge of the world around her. an...

its funny. this is mostly the stuff i told my new player. he didn't like these, but we settled on a compromise. basic sampson, with the missiles modded out and a pair of modified Wilks Laser Knive's instead. course his char. now owes his soul to someone for covering the expense, but he's an experian...

However, electro-magnetism will not affect a mini-missile in any form or fashion due to stainless steel construction (if anyone thinks a military will ever produce an iron missile, please let me know, so I can inform them of the powers of rust), so a volley of mini-missiles will bypass your EM spel...

actually, the tech would be better in CE, since the rifts versions are either re-discoveries or maintained. CE versions would have better quality, so fewer or lesser drawbacks (juciers able to live a few months longer, crazies able to resist insanity longer, or something like that.) what would be mo...

i'm looking for a good Melee specialized Power armor. any suggestions?

my vision of mutants in orbit (especially the belt) for rifts is more along the lines of The Island Worlds (a great book by Eric Kotani and John Maddox Roberts). if you haven't read it, i'll summerize. in it the belt was colonized by earth when the worlds resources started to run out. the belt becam...
