Subject: Armor Ratings on Vehicles
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 13:57:29 EDT
Hi,

I've been looking around the web at the vehicles that fellow runners/GM's
have created. One of the things i noticed most about these vehicles is that
a large number of them have unusually high armor ratings, IE fighters with 30
armor points. I know that in the Rigger Black Book that FASA had put a limit
on how much armor something could carry, something like body times 3 or so,
but in Rigger 2 there is no limit. Because of this you could put 111 points
of armor on a Thunderbird like the Banshee or StoneWall (now gone) or 103
points of armor on an Airliner, and there aren't any rules to stop it from
happening. It would only cost 138k¥ to do this, only 44k if done at vehicle
creation. What is a standard rule of measure for armoured vehicles like
aircraft/APC's, tanks, thunderbirds, etc.....
