Starships vs people

[Richard Saunders]

Hello.
Sig Odra i'm shore that there is a splash damage in T20 (from vague memory at the bottom of the weapon chart in the fineprint?????)
For personal weapons effect on vehicles try the vehicle design section weapons chart the top three weapons (again from memory).
Just from curiosity the sizes of a MRL missile and a starship missile are the same are they the same missile with a different sensor pack???????.
Bye.

Just nail that Model T with a few HE RAM grenades. The car will probably be disabled from a 3-round burst, and the occupants will most certainly be dead.

This got me to look up RAM grenades in T20. A HEAP RAM grenade will only cause 1d6-2 damage to a vehicle before taking into account the vehicles AR. Now since BattleDress is a vehicle there is no way a HEAP RAM grenade will cause any damage (forget about the model T occupants, they're fragged).The reason I mention this is that in Striker and MT one of the few ways a light infantryman could take out combat armour or battledress was to RAM grenade it.
Should the RAM grenade not, therefore, be a vehicle scale weapon?

Are you arguing in favour of the model T with a light artillery mount (5d12 damage) or the Marine in BattleDress (AR10 for TL13 as listed in T20)?

Most definately toasted.

But the Model-T still gets a T20 bonus of vehicle vs person.

Not to even mention where Grav Belts fit in.

I have a memory of a post a while ago trying to work out if T20 Battledress is treated as a vehicle or personal armour. I can not remember what was finally decided

If a vehicle then the light artillery piece hardly scratches the Marine (1d12-6).

If personal armour then the Marine still only takes 1d12-1 lifeblood damage( +10d12 stamina loss).

Any idea which is correct?

Hello.
I think the argument was the armor was designed using vehicle stats so it was a vehicle but the argument then moved to the weapons (are the weapons vehicle weapons or personal).
Sig Oddra - sorry but i cant find any splash damage for anything in the T20 book (MY MISTAKE).
Just a thought if you can launch a single MRL (missile) from an MRL then you should be able to use the tubes as a single use anti tank missile (man portable) it is after all only 52.5K heavy.
Has anyone spotted the fact that no weapon except meson's can hurt armoured vehicles, If you build a tank you are going to armour it up to the max AR=15.
Bye.

its stated in the T20 sourcebook that Battle Dress is considered a vehicle.

That model T is toast...
