[ Partly right. The Aranea is the right size, but the fighter/small craft compliment is strange... If I remember correctly, there are no troops, nor tanks for the shuttles. We do not know the Stonewall's size (tonnage, to be proper). As for the Explorer... She has a few million tons, so she is more...

No need to phase out or even supplement the Warshield (thought it is hard to beleive that there is only one "frontline cruiser" type for the CCW of this size and role). There are three another cruiser types (I know, only one of this could be frontline cruiser, but all of them can be used ...

sagajr

Your Right that in a One on One fight the Warshield is better then Smasher. But I think light carriers will be in the IDF,to keep Warshield in the main forces. The Warshield and its 12 fighters (especially 12 Katanas) are more than a match to two or even three Smashers. It can gun down two less tha...

Any ideas on a ship to the replace the CCW,s Warshield cruiser? Seeing that the TGE,s Smasher carry 36 fighters,the CCW wants the New Cruiser to carry the same number. What do you think? Do they really need that? The Warshield is a very dangerous ship in the line of cruisers without a real competit...

Maybe they can make their own version (knock-off) of the IPA-40 Dai-Katana Bugei Power Armor from Rifts Japan. It has high running speed (not as fast as a Samson but its speed is very high compared to other power armors), good flying speed without wings (smaller frame and smaller target silouette), ...

Like I said, you'd have to do some adjusting. His damage is a little high, range is high, and some of the special effects are out of whack. I think those damage values can not be called high anymore and most of the listed weapon ranges are average at best (as long as we speak of the Tsunami Arms we...

I clearly remember that one of my books has stats for Golgan infantry weapons, but for the life of me, I can't find them. I've flipped through "Anvil Galaxy" where the Golgans are described, but can't find their weapons. I've also flipped through "phase world", "phase world...

Do not forget the fact, that the two empires and their troops placed and created for different systems.

the only problem is the Atorians Use Satellites and are likely to Fill a Planet with defense platforms. the the "Metropolis" class stations are more heavily armed and armored then the Robotech Defense Satellites. THere's NO escaping the Grand Cannon Obsession of the AU GG Ships. :0 also, ...

now let's Review the Smashers: SDC: 36,000 AR: 15 shield: 9000 The shield MDC value of the Smasher is 18000 (3000 per side), so it will be 36000 SDC if you use the 1:2 ratio... However, no rules for converting MDC to SDC in the AU:GG book, only for SDC to MDC, and if you use the x2 multiplier for t...

And really? Are you comparing the Packaged Ships from AUGG to those from Rifts? The AU ships are more powerful by 100 times. More arms to bear, and better warriors too. I think the Atorian ships are not more powerful, just use a totally different system to create their own vesselt and that is why t...

Yeah, I was hoping for stuff like the TW space suit with spells for movement, protection, carpet of adhesion used to walk on surfaces in place of magnetic boots, etc. Yes, I can make it on my own, but it's interesting to see what the "official" stuff is because it's often more creative an...

Also the CP-40 is a pulse while the C-12 is a burst. So the CP-40 gets half the strike bonus when pulsing. Not to be nit picky but what is the source for that? As far as I know you get no bonus for "pulsing", only for "bursting" Check RUE, page 361, Weapon Modifiers, Rapid-Fire ...

The location of the bridge is also rather unique, although it increases the chance that a 'Golden BB' hit to the engines will take out the bridge as well. Thanks for the comments.

I might have simply not found the right piece of equipment; there's a lot to sift through.
