Subject: | Sentry [TM] Gun System Question |
Date: | Sat, 14 Nov 1998 13:11:06 -0500 |
The Ares Sentry [TM] System is based off of a Tactical Computer.
A Tactical Computer shows increased performance with each additional
sensor hooked in on it.
Rigger 2 introduced the Sentry II, which allowed the Sentry Guns to be
run by a rigger's remote control network. The Sentry II can also make
use of the information sharing capabilities of a BattleTac IVIS,
"which can multiply the firepower of the system when more than one
Sentry II system is used."
My question is, in addition to the normal bonuses of an IVIS Pool, do
you think there should be any additional bonuses to a network of
Sentry Guns, since each gun's Tactical Computer is sharing it's
sensory data with the other Tactical Computers on the network?
Perhaps counting each additional gun on the network as an additional
"sensor" for purposes of determining the rating of the Tactical
Computer? For example, with 4 guns networked together, each gun's
Tactical Computer is treated as if it were hooked into 3 additional
"sensors" above the actual sensors already in place?
