I saw that. But the example design in Appendix 1 has the following "The total cost with weapon, remote gunnery station and fire control is Cr75500." Judging by this example, the remote gunnery station apparently costs Cr500. However, this is the only mention in the entire book of a "remote...

I don't see a cost for Remote Weapons Systems. Are they simply free?

TURRETS "A turret consumes one Space for every ton (1,000kilograms) or four Spaces of weapons it mounts,plus one Space for every gunner or loader, unless the gunners are remote or the loaders are replacedby autoloaders." I can just imagine the driver of a T-34 tank complaining about the...

STRUCTURE Structure is derived from Hull. How, exactly? I cannot find any specific explanation in the new VHB

Cluster Truck is definitely a great product, but I worry that younger players may not appreciate all the references. Would something like an "Appendix N" be possible for subsequent printings? Naturally, Mongoose would have to list all the 70's trucker movies and TV shows but that shouldn't...

This is from the Mongoose 1st edition's Special Supplement 3: Vehicle Upgrade Manual Could this please be included in the updated Vehicle Handbook for Mongoose 2nd?

There are dozens of unofficial ones listed on the fan Discord.

1st famous event: MV 'Coolname' was famous as the setting for a reality show ('The Love Boat') that became all too real after it suffered a misjump and was damaged. Somehow, the ship's crew managed to patch it together and return safely. 2nd famous event: One of the celebrities competing on...

Woohoo! Str 64 and Dex 8. Now there's a reason to build big walkers.

Another request Currently, Manipulator Arms are set at human-level strength (max 15). Could this vary dependent on vehicle size? I mean, where's the fun in designing a walking mecha that's 50-foot tall and only has a strength of 15? Maybe we could classify them like cranes (light to...

Sounds good! May I suggest, in addition to 'Locomotive" you could add "Prime Mover" as a relevant wording that could be added to Heavy Ground Vehicles and (perhaps) things like designated tugs? You could say that Prime Movers have much greater towing capacity

I hope I'm not too late to the party. I happen to like the Vehicle Handbook but I do have one quibble and that's about Towing trailers. Currently it's "Towing Most vehicles are capable of towing heavy loads, usually a form of trailer or, in an emergency, other vehicles. All checks using a...

Initial reactions after a short playtest with firefights against pirates. The good: 1. laser weapons are really scary. This provides a partial explanation of why they are banned at low law levels. 2. Automatically adding Tactics to Initiative "feels right" 3. You can't dodge "blast" The...

As I understand it...If you boost the AP high enough, you can negate the protective value of armour. EXAMPLE target: Flak jacket AP 5 attacker: Antique pistol AP 3 Let's say the Attacker rolls 2 higher than the target If you boost the damage by 2 successes, the AP is less than 5 and the...

That is also my interpretation. I use the example of the frag grenade (AP4) vs the flak jacket (Protection 5). The flak jacket does not render the wearer immune to frag grenades. BUT it does give 5 points of protection. This level of protection is NOT reduced by the AP4. Now, if the target...
