heres some stuff ive been working on to bring the LAMI "tech trooper" from the PC game to life. tell me whjat you think and how he works out if you game w/ him.


Tech Trooper (MI Combat Engineer)

Up to 1 trooper per LAMI and/or powersuit platoon may be upgraded to an Tech Trooper. This trooper must purchase either the Demolitions (+20) or Engineer (+25) traits and may purchase both if desired.

Options: Demo pack +20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The demo pack is a device made up of a shaped charged explosive that is placed onto a structures or obstructions most vulnerable areas by a specially trained Tech trooper, and then remotely detonated. The demo pack may only be placed onto structures or stationary vehicles.

Weapon/ Range/ Damage/ Type/ Traits
Demo Pack/ Placed/ 3D10+5/ Pack / Remote, LZ(1"), Multihit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



REV) Remote Engineering Vehicle

This small but robust vehicle is remotely controlled by a tech trooper who is specially trained in its operation. Designed to accompany infantry in their drop boats, the REV comes in a variety of different designs to help the tech trooper fulfill mission specific roles ranging from field support to repair and scouting.
Type/ Value/ Size/ Move/ Close combat/ Target/ Save/ Kill/ Traits
REV/ 30/ 2/ 6 / --/ 4+/ 3+/ 10+ / Tracks/6"-Hits (2)

Controller: Only a trooper who has been upgraded to a tech trooper and has the Engineer trait may operate a REV. Neither distance or LOS between the operator and the REV affect its operation. The operator may not perform any other actions while controlling the REV.

Remote controlled: due to its very nature, the REV cannot react as quickly, nor does it have the situational awareness of a trooper in combat. Thus any weapon option mounted on it is treated as a Pack weapon.

Options:
REV-E9 Engineer: (+10) Allows the tech trooper to use his Engineer trait through the REV per trait rules and restrictions. (Also grants 1D6 in Close Combat)

REV-D4 Demolition: (+ Cost of munition) Onboard munition is counted as already being remotely placed. The REV is destroyed when munition is detonated by the Tech trooper, this takes a ready action per remote rules. (Add Retaliate weapon trait)

REV-FS203 Field/Fire Support: (+ Cost of weapon ) One of the following.
Twin fifty (+30), Javelin/longbow (+50), Inferno support flamer (+30), Morita sniper (+30)

REV-ML12 Mine Layer: (+20) M-913: LZ (20"/LOS) Pack (Add Retaliate weapon trait)
(+30) M-918: LZ (20"/LOS) Pack (Add Retaliate weapon trait)

REV-ASU Ammunition Supply Unit: (+20) counts as an Ammo Dump

REV-MSU Medical Supply Unit: (+10) troopers with the Medic trait may add +1 to their “medic” roll if his patient is within 6" of the REV. Multiple troopers with the medic trait may make use of a single REV-MSU.

REV-FRU Field Repair Unit: (+20) equipped with supplies and tools the REV-FRU enables any model with the Engineering trait within 6" of the unit to allow a reroll once per turn when attempting a repair.
 
yeah, the idea was for them to mainly be filling a role for LAMI who can have support assests land directly with the platoon or squad in situations that dont warrent large scale support or small insertion areas. basicly its a futuristic pack mule

the REV might also be borrowed by some powersuit units for use in confined areas like tunnels or inside complexs where traditional support cannot follow.

I figure you could use it more for special senerios. for instance MI fighting their way through an bug infested underground industrial complex to rescue some important federation personnel who have hold up in a fortified area of the complex, but they have many wounded and need immediate medical treatment so the REV full of medical supplies must survive for mission success.

also, lets face it, in the "war of the species" humans are sorely outnumbered so why endanger troopers lives when not nessecery or burden them w/ excessive loads that reduce their combat effecency? REV's would allow emplacement style support without haveing to use the defend tactic.
