Random thought- if normal cyberarms come with internal storage space, would mechanical arms for drones have a small amount of internal CF as well? :/

Mechanical arms can be modified per Rigger 3 to carry any Cyberarm modifications at half the price (same Avail/Time), save for Quickness and Strength modifications. While not CF, per se, they can have anything from shotguns to the cyberarm gyromount to built-in kits, etc.

So you could have an SMG or shotgun cybergun in one arm and a Shiawase blazer in the other as back up weapons and it doesn't even take up CF space? Oh this just gets better and better. If you run across anything else like that be sure to post it. :D

I'd imagine you'd be limited by the rules governing cyberarms. Also, Cyberarm devices cost x4 of normal, though the half price reduction, this is cut down to x2. I don't remember seeing anywhere about a Shiawase blazer being a cyberweapon, but I'm sure a generous GM can arrange something similar.

Well they call it a SMG sized weapon IIRC so I don't see why not.

More like Elementals.

Elementals? I'm taking that's a Battletech reference, it sounds vaguely familiar?

Power Armor, basically. They are about 12 feet tall (the pilots are genetically enhanced to be the size of trolls), and carry a pair of SRMs (short range missiles), a claw-weapon, and a sidearm (usually a machine gun, small laser, or a flamer). They fight in organized points of 5 (I think?), and have jumpjets that allow them to move quickly across terrain and mount an effective anti-mech strike.

Elemental pilots are really more genetically modified to be the size of larger orks. They're bigger and stronger than normal humans, but not by that much.

How much CF and Load can you tack onto a large anthroform?

Max CF for a Large Anthroform is 10. Load varies by power plant, but Electric Fuel Cell maxes out at 500.

Vanquisher heavy machine gun and nine points of gunnery recoil adjusters anyone? :)

You might find my Ares Spartan Combat Suits interesting.

I put together a budget model after the last one of these threads we had, too... I should finish that up and post it.

For that combat suit, you may wish to replace the laser and cannon though since they will be nigh impossible to get. I was going to make one with an MMG or MHG, or grenade launcher. Not only are they cheaper, but they are less heavy, more easily obtainable, and can carry more ammo.

I'd like to see how your design is, I'm working on a budget model as well but haven't gotten very far yet because of other distractions.

Heh...the last time we got into this the Spartan came up and Hero and I came up with the Warhammer 40K Space Marine Dreadnought.

Here's the thread:
http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?show...&hl=dreadnought

I turned it into a battlefield EW monster....*grin* It hasn't turned up in my game...yet.

John Campbell: I'm interested in your budget version as well - your creation is actually going to be in my campaign sometime soon, so if you have a budget version it would be neat to use as a prototype. (If you don't get to it, I already have your other suit variants printed out and ready to rock and roll, so there's no pressure.)

Well i'm an idiot. I just realized that he said MY (his) page. I didn't realize you were the one that made that suit.

Seriously, that thing (if I can somehow get it built) kicks ass and the best thing is that depending on the model, it's actually affordable unlike other places where they don't even have half the stuff on there and have it priced in the millions.
