weapons. (leave it to me to lose the thread...)
What are you doing? Military Grade armor? Where are they getting this stuff?
I also don't like that silly armor stacking rule. It MAY be reallistic as
far as it should give you protection, but I like it when pistols can actually
KILL people, not just annoy. Hell, my players never wear security armor
anyway. They (generally) believe in "its best not to attract attention."
They shouldn't be wandering around in H. Military Armor, Gyro-mounted
Vindicator, Panthor Cannons, and 155KG of C12 cruising along in there
Striker Light Tank with Turreted Vanquisher Rotary Assualt Cannon. Even
if they are on a heavy combat run. They should be using their brains (that
does tend to eliminate some players) not a pile of military hard-ware.
My characters are still using Armored Jackets or lined coates with pistols
and occasionaly heavier weapons (meaning SMG and Ass. kinda stuff).
While it is fun sometimes for the players to kit out and waste some bugs or
whatever every once-in-awhile (Queen Euphoria), it can be a problem in a
campaign if they insist on using it.
This is NOT an attack on anyone's GM style, this is just my opinion, so leave
the flame pistols holstered. I do realize the problem that sometimes you
want to give the players the opportunity to uppergrade sometimes, but you must
be careful of the (AK-97 to Valient LMG to Vindicator to AC) and the
(secerity armor to Military armor) progresions and so on. So remember,
"That which hath been given can be stripethed away"
Whew. Wander if anyone still reading this.
