Robot Crew Oversight

I will disagree with you on this last part. The Size rules for Robots only go to Size 8. After that it says you have to use the Vehicle Handbook rules. So, you can only fit a Computer/8 in a Size 8 chassis for 0 slots.

Also, unless I am mistaken, Prototypes and Early Prototypes increase size by a percentage. Correct? The number of slots required would likewise increase by that amount.

Did I get that right or is My understanding on this flawed?

Prototype does not increase size, just cost. Early prototype does increase both

Da rules:



I choose to leave robots out of this as they are not specifically mentioned, but an argument could be made that they are computers. YMMV.

Cost is x5 and x10 if not going nuts. Even so, don't forget the quirks that might be cost and mass related as well.




Which two of these do you want your early prototype broker android having?

That is where we differed. It has a Computer/X rating. Therefore, it's a computer and also subject to computer prototype and early prototype rules.

On reflection, you’re probably right about this. Not about your earlier post, though. Response incoming.

Here are the rules and sizes.


It doesn’t address the prototype rules. It does say that at most a robot brain will take a single slot.

An argument could be made that the x10 and x100 rule applies, but while a robot brain has a computer equivalency, I don’t know if it’s a clean fit. It’s up to the individual, I think.

Personally, I’d go with the lower mass jumps. It feels more correct here.
