Its not the source material. I don't like some of the specs from the
Technical Manual, and started to recalculate stuff. However, the guns are
mostly done. Sebastien wrote an introduction and provided a template, but
that needs a thorough going over. Also, I had thought about building the
APC, perhaps Ole Onno can give a hand with that?

OK. How about some interested parties write me offlist, I mail em what I
have, we can fill in the blanks, and then it hits the market?

Cheers

Okay, not sure if this is what y'all are talking about, but there's some
excellent source material on this web page. Even graphics you can use to make
visuals for your players. I've already started working on a Weyland-Yutani
corp for a campaign...

What do you mean by AA, by the way? To me that means Alcoholics Anonymous...
