im sitting here playing around with the modification rules in arsenal, and start to think that the stuff i create could be sold pre-made in game if one account for the cost of work hours needed to do all the modifications.

hell, i discovered that the book holds a tracked modification, and the heavy turret is allowed on any vehicle with a body of 14 or greater. so while there are no straight tanks in the book, modifying an existing one into a tank isnt exactly hard (kinda like how i turned catepiller vehicles into tanks using rigger3 after they errataed the heavy turret requirements).

I still would have liked an actual tank to be included, though. If only for fluff reasons. Slapping modifications on a Citymaster doesn't feel the same.

heh, yea, i can relate to that.

but having a tata hotspur sporting a light gauss cannon and enough armor to only be threatened by anti-tank weapons kinda help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

hell, with a 10% for doing the job of assembling it, its silly cheap to.

322 850 with guns, but i think i forgot about the ammo...

also, the availability would probably be that of the most restrictive item, the main gun...

Share the good stuff! Too many things for DIY at once!

hmm, i just discovered that i cant find ammo prices for the vehicle weapons in arsenal?!

btw, it has no more available slots for modifications. hell, i had to scrap my original idea of giving it smart armor (btw, arsenals table on page 133 list consealed and smart as rating 1-20, while the text on armor say that those can only go as far as 10. the compiled tables at page 196 list no rating range for any armor) as i ran out of slots. ok, so i could go with over-modification but then it enters gm's ok area.

edited in a gyro link and therefor converted the heavy turret into a remote turret.
