Just a quick question...
The Ares Alpha description says it's barrel design gives it 2 points of recoil comp, but a barrel mounted accessory is still able to be used. Would I be able to throw on Gas Vents (preferrably IV, but I'll take what I can get) on top of the 2 points the gun gives me, giving me an RC equal to 2 + the rating of the Gas Vents? |

Yes. The Ares Alpha's integral recoil compensation system doesn't come from a barrel-mounted accessory, so you can add barrel accessories like a GV 4.

S'why every gun bunny aspires to the day he or she can put their greedy little grips on one.

On the other hand, if you're a bastard like me, you can simply state that the Ares Alpha's recoil compensation comes from a set of computer-controlled gyromounts located throughout the body of the gun. Thus, a PC can have his cake and eat it too.
However, that computer-controlled gyromount probably ain't gonna be all that durable... |

The gun's made for military application, isn't it? By a company which specializes in the field, at that. I'd say it'll be as durable as a titanium brick.

they've also had a lot of time to make more durable computers. being a tough GM is one thing; i won't play more than once with a GM who breaks my toys just because he likes watching me squirm.

Pheh, loosing 2 points of recoild comp temporarily (as in, until the gun gets fixed) is hardly gonna "make you squirm". Assuming its done as an appropriate part of the game (say, after a couple months in the deep field, or after you get smacked down by an elemental in melee for the 6th time in as many weeks) I don't think its inaparopriate for the GM to put some wear and tear on your goodies.
I was kinda pissed when I attacked that kamaikazee drone with my Diakoted Katana and the ensuing explosion destoyed my heavy armor, even though I "only" took a Serious wound. On the upside, the Katana was fine, once they dug it out of my chest and re-bound the hilt. I guess maybe that's the diffrence between "mill spec" and "security" armors... |

The integral recoil comp of the Alpha is most likely due to geometry.

of course, mongoose. i've been arguing in the astral thread that a GM should break some toys, if he does it fairly and when it's appropriate.
