I'm still getting 'Wall of Text' problems, which is what I think is scaring people off. If things were better formatted for easier reading, I think you would get more attention. As for the actual content, I looks reasonable for what its said to be. You have an interesting take on fast character generation, which is worth turning into a more general system in its own thread. That might up the amount of recognition and attention you get.

I'm personally ambivalent on nearly all MDC conversions of older vehicles and equipment for one reason or another, but that's not just your stuff. It more that simple metal fatigue would have caused all of it to be write offs before they could be converted (2050s), so you may as well start from scratch. But at least you're using actually sensible designs unlike the abominations that Palladium calls tanks, and arm them with weapons that aren't pee shooters.

I am humble by your words just this wall of word been knocking me down been try to figure a better way i just don't how i keep trying
Most are older vehicles and equipment which are found in palladium books and converting are stopping gap they seem able to hold there own but they can be taken down like a GB BOOM Gun an example show how powerful they are a tank with a 120 MM tank rifle can either 1d6x10 M.D.C and range in real world 4.7 miles ( and that single shot it possible to fire dual shot doing 2d6x10 M.D.C );while a GB BOOM 3d6x10 M.D.C in two miles and cant move a a Pre-rifts tank can move with standard 288 M.D.C main body can add extra armors from 100 to 200 M.D.C while GB has 770 M.D.C in 2050 era sadly there no 130MM tank rifle my guess would be 2d4x10 single shot a dual shot 4d4x10 MM tank rifle are just an example
now does this make good sense IDK I just guessing and looking for rules with the GAME.A 200 MM tank rifle would do 2d6x10 M.D.C are use a reference point.

There's a spoiler option in the full editor.

Spoiler:

Between on the second row of BBCode options. You highlight the section you want to be compacted, and you can't put a spoiler in a spoiler, but it'll make things less painful. It also adds a line below the spoiler, so you you don't need to add one yourself.

Similarly, the List option (not the List=) in the first row might also be useful for keeping things tidy. This is the format I use for weapons, so cut and rename sections as needed.

As an example of a vehicle template, use this.

Spoiler:

Open this post in reply and copy the format to another document that you work on. I suggest putting the Crunch parts in a Spoiler, while leaving the Fluff in full. Give me a few minutes and I'll get something for OCCs as well.

I suggest fooling around with the BBCode in the PMs with Preview for a while. It doesn't like large and heavy coded messages, but you can figure out how things work there.

Um. Reservist and active duty can be called on to respond to natural disaster relief. Just not by the governor. The G has to ask the PotUS to recognize a state of emergency and then the PotUS can send in the military.

Agreed with you on this
also did read the US Army / Army reserve solider National guard O.C.C not much ?

ZINO · **Posted:** Thu Jan 21, 2021 2:00 pm

US Nation guard or / US Army / Army reserve solider National guard or In RIFTS the Foot soldier or guardsmen
Future rifts books guardsmen/Foot solider O.C.C.

Part 1

Our mission makes us different. Unlike the other branches, Guard Soldiers can be deployed by the governors of their resident states to support communities stricken by natural disasters like floods and hurricanes. Guard Soldiers can also be deployed by the president of the United States to defend our country or support our allies overseas. This dual role for the Guard is what makes us unique.

Both Guard Soldiers and Army Reserve Soldiers train one weekend per month and two weeks every summer. Both Guard Soldiers and Army Reserve Soldiers can be called into full-time service to support Army combat missions. The main difference is that Guard Soldiers serve a dual mission. They can be called on by their state governor or the federal government. Reserve Soldiers do not have a state mission and cannot be called to respond to floods and hurricanes, for example.

from Army recruiter before the fall

US national guardsmen/Army reserve solider /Foot solider O.C.C.

Abilities & Bonuses:

1. O.C.C. Modifiers:

Spoiler:

O.C.C.

Bonus from Genetics Engineering Augmentation:

Remember that genetic engineering and human augmentation were the rage during the Golden Age of Science. That means 90% of the last two generations to join military were genetically "tweaked" in specific areas. These are not super-soldiers, but ordinary human beings who were modified and improved as a gestating fetus by parents who could afford the best for their children.

Spoiler:

2.M.O.S.:

These sets of skills are areas of specialization. They may be combat oriented or some other area of expertise. These are in addition to O.C.C. Skills, O.C.C. Related Skills and Secondary Skills and reflect U.N paramilitary methods and organizational structure
Select one of the following areas of specialty or roll percentile to make a random determination. If the random method is used and the character does not have the required minimum attribute, select skills that will bump it up to the required amount, adjust a few attributes to meet the minimum, or roll again. All M.O.S. skills are in addition to O.C.C. and other skills. Note: The Communications Expert can use non-combat robot probes and the Point Man can use all types of robots from Combat Drones and Hounds to probes. The exact robots made available to him will depend on the assignment. The EOD Expert will have one or more weapons replaced with explosives, including 1-4 Fusion Blocks.

Cybernetics and Bionics:
Cybernetic and Bionic Enhancement:

Though the Infantry themselves usually reserve the designation for partial cyborgs, light, full conversion cyborgs, many Infantry Soldiers can be classified as Light cyborgs Machines or partial conversion cyborgs due to the extensive bionic reconstruction they undergo. Approximately 25% of infantry soldiers receive bionic augmentations for approximately 40-50% of their bodies, making them partial cyborgs. Another 15% of infantry soldiers are full conversion cyborg classified as Light cyborgs. The remaining 50% of the infantry start out as completely human with only 6 cybernetic implants of choice. Of course, injuries in combat may substantially increase the amount of bionic augmentation a soldier ultimately ends up with.
Note:
Infantry soldiers who receive 55% or more bionic conversion usually stay in the military for life or a long stretch of 30-50 years of service.

Looking much better. There's some bits with the skills that amount to clashes with my personal preferences, but that's minor. The largest issue I have is the proportion of cybernetics and bionics. My feeling was that the US was much more conservative that some others (and that's not including Russia), but again that's personal preference.

Mhm. This is the sort of thing that almost everybody with the tech would make at some point or another. While not appropriate (or cost effective) for the battlefield there are no shortage of covert ops where it would be far more effective than a normal human.

As a note, you don't need to spoiler the small sections (Secondary Skills and after).
