Weapon mounts on vehicles

[JustEastOfTheEdge]

Perhaps I am being a dumbo, but I can't find anything about the number of fixed mounts allowed on a vehicle.
Cheers

Fixed mounts have no additional cost and consume no extra Spaces (beyond the weapons they are mounting).
So if you have free "spaces" for weapons you can add it to your vehicle.
Of cours I would check if mounting a weapon on a particular part of a vehicle makes sense even if you have spare space. Mounting a rocket launcher on a roof of a jeep is ok but I would not allow mountig more than one or two.

Got it! Cheers Adam.

On a related note, how do we know how many spaces weapons from others books take?

 

[Condottiere]

Rule of thumb seems to be weight, or at least, indicated weight.

Quarter tonne per space.

 

[AnotherDilbert]

1 Space = 250 kg.

The only conversion that will be necessary is to turn the Mass of each weapon (usually listed in Kg or tons) into Spaces. This is done at a rate of 1 Space for every 250 Kg or 0.25 tons of Mass or part of.

To place a spacecraft weapon into a vehicle, simply multiply the tonnage of the weapon by four. This is how many Spaces it will consume, to a minimum of 1 Space. Unless it is to be placed in a fixed mount, it will also need a spacecraft style turret which, at one ton on a spacecraft, will mean another 4 Spaces is required.
