I was looking through Rigger 3 and didn't find any bombs, missiles, but no bombs. Is there a canon rule for dropping bombs from flying vehicles/drones and the damage?
If not I was thinking of using the formula for explosives in SR3 and making them anti-vehicle, like the BlockIII Outlaw missile. There would also be anti-personnel and high explosive (not AV) types. 2d6 seems the standard for scatter, but I'd expect them to scatter more than that; maybe 3 or 4d6? The bomb's intelligence and bonuses from target designators would reduce this as the rules for indirect fire. There's also the issue of ranges (altitude I guess) and how it affects the target number. If there isn't a rule, has anyone made their own? |
