Hi Everybody,
Looking at the last two substancive post (both by Hadyen) I see a few things
we should talk about.
First of all I get the impression that some of you want to completely trash
everything from the rule books on vehicles. I really don't think there is a
need for new vehicle combat rules. In fact I think once the construction rules
are done, you should have a vehicle that looks just like the one's published by
FASA. We should be making a way to go from concept to stats that has rules as
opposed to I think this would be good stats.
One the subject of car bodies, I think we need something a little more
specific than Mini, Small, Medium, etc. Some types of cars are quite different
even if they are the same size. The space break downs for VW Rabbit and a
Camero are not the same.
Also, the Maximum Safe Control Speed stats are not realistic. The bigger a
vehicle the more difficult it is to control and often the more unbalanced it is.
You don't see people whipping around corners at high speeds in Vans and
18-wheelers.
That's all for Now.

See Ya in Shadows,
Jason J Carter
The Nightstalker
