GAME NOTES:
- O - O - A - K stands for "One Of A Kind" (see below). The "Alincourt-made"
x-0.2 cost multiplier and 25% cost reduction for Space Eff. are
the same ones used for the Ruby.
- This monster (very literaly) is an Avian; 6 of it's Air MA are
due to "flaping wings", the thrusters gives the other 22. So,
outside an atmosphere, it's MA is "only" 22. With an Arrow's engines,
this isn't slow, anymore!
- The Plasma Breath is cross-linked with a laser targeter of +3
WA whose only purpose is to gide the breath fire; if the targeter
hits, the breath also hits automaticaly on the same location.
Of course, if the laser gets hit or can't lock on the target (example:
the ASP could detect a target behind smoke, yes, but the laser
most definitely CAN'T reach through it), the plasma reverts to
WA -2 (who isn't so pretty). Follows a rule posted on rec.games.mecha
- The two listed ranges are two DIFERENT tipes of missiles. (They
cost just the same and I also just can't decide for only one ).
:) Choose a tipe while loading the ammo, NOT in mid-combat!
- The Combustion Powerplant is an alcohol-burning one, model "Chatanooga"
CHOOH-2, as seen on the page 35 of the SBB sourcebook (yes, you
CAN dilute and drink it).
"Lyons-san," Akira called out as he walked into the bay. "Do you
know if..." He stopped. Jeremy and several of the other members
of Tess' team were working on a dragon. Not a real dragon, but
a mechanical one.
"Yes," Jeremy called from where he stood by a head bigger than
him.
"What is that?"
"An Alincourt prototype. They have a number of one of a kinds
kicking around. We thought, seeing as we had the time, we would
dig up a few and bang them back into shape."
"I see. Speaking of your free time, would you know if Belin-san
has returned?"
"Not that I know," Jeremy said. I would have thought when she
gets back she'd go straight to you."
"You would think that wouldn't you." Akira shook his head, then
looked at the dragon mech. "Tell me about this."
"Well, it's big, and the wings work, so it can fly, but not that
fast. Look," he walked back along the body until her was standing
near a wing. "You see, they've put these pop out thrusters here,
well the casings for them. We're going to put a set of Arrow engines
in these." He stopped and looked over at Akira. "If we get permission
to use them of course."
"Of course," Akira smiled tightly.
"Give it some weapons, some other things, it will make an interesting
unit."
"Do you think you'll find anyone who wants to fly it?"
Jeremy smiled. "We've already got several pilots who want it."
Akira said nothing for a moment. "Carry on then. Best that you
keep out of trouble."
My favourite. A one of a kind nasty toy that someone get's to
fly in the last battle.
The concept comes from a book called 'The Iron Dragon's Daughter'
in which Half Elves/Half Mortals piloted intelligent dragon fighters.
There is of course more to it that that, but a rogue dragon fighter
with a bad attitude was one of the main characters and I liked
him a lot.
