strange question

So I've been thinking about running an airforce campaign... Of course a rules lawyer know it all brought up a problem about g-forces and cyborgs. He is firmly convinced that g-forced press the "brain" into the back of yer skull ... o.O Anyway, because g-forces force blood away from the brain or to the brain... that caused problems for human pilots...

on the other hand how would this effect a cyborg... Obviously the pilot can't experience a red out, but what about a black out.

I would think it was safe to assume that a cyborg designed for piloting would have a pressurized skull to deal with g-forces.

Since a super sonic rail gun round can smash in to their head with out scrambling there brains, one could assume that those brain boxes are designed to absorb impact.. And Kevin himself has said borgs are total Mdc beings..So yes a borg would make a bang up pilot...

P.S. cyborgs are too heavy to make good pilots, plus they would break the console. :ok:



Nah, just use the cyber-link from Russia.

What does it get into?


Piloting the aircraft, aircraft facilities, maintenance, air combat , random hit tables, flaws and perks of specific aircraft and aircraft systems.

It's all been play tested by one of the board member's here, SirTenzan.
