Subject: "Full Burnean" - FT in the Gundam Universe
With the completetion of the first run of "Gundam Seed" on the Cartoon Network, I thought I would compile some notes that could be used to create a campaign in the Gundam universe using FT rules... MOBILE SUITS - multimode configurable fighters that are USUALLY fixed in B-mode. The Taurus mobile suits found in Gundam Wing can convert from B-mode to F-mode, but NOT G-mode. They are also further customisable based on type of mobile suit - light [Ball "UC0079, 8th MS Team"], A.I. [Mobile Doll "Gundam Wing"], pulse cannon/heavy [Virgo "Gundam Wing" - Buster "Gundam Seed"], stealth [Blitz "Gundam Seed"], ect... GUNDAMS - To simulate the power and durability of these experimental, state-of-the-art, single-unit mobile suits, it is presumed that a single Gundam has the defacto firepower of a full group of 4-6 heavy fighters. Eventhough a hit scored on a Gundam is against a single fighter, the hit DOESN'T destroy the Gundam - it just reduces its defacto firepower by 1 [the shot blows off an arm or leg]. Gundams are customisable, based on type - the Heavy Arms from "Gundam Wing" is fitted with the effect of a fighter missle rack with multiple but not unlimited charges - DOUBLE that for the Heavy Arms "Endless Waltz" Custom. The Wing Gundam's 3-shot Buster Rifle can be simulated by using a "ship-sized" submunition pack, pulse torpedo, or (if you want to be REAL nasty) CLASS 1+ WAVE GUN! WHITE BASE / ALBION / ARCHANGEL / DOMINION - Mobile Assault Ship Tech: Human (FB) [Gundam] Govt: Earth Federation/Atlantic Federation Mass: 190 Cost: ??? (???) Clas: Mobile assault ship Strm: Partial FTL: None MD: 2 Armr: 16 Hull: 62 (Military) Damg: 16/16/15/15 Crew: 10 Sens: Std. Systems 3 x FCS 4 x PDS [Igelstellung] 1 x Class-3 beam (AP, FP, F, FS) 1 x Class-3 beam (FP, F, FS, AS) [Gottfried] 2 x K-3 (F) [Valiant] 2 x Pulse Torpedo (F) [Lohengrin] 1 x Salvo Missle Launcher (FP, F, FS) 1 x Salvo Missle Magazine (4 Std. Salvos) 2 x Fighter Bay Notes: I don't know the NPV for this ship - I used the Mjollnir class Superdreadnought from the Full Thrust Ship Registry - it's a ship of the right size without screens as part of its defence - I moved the mass from the FTL to the partial streamlining, and swaped out the armaments. NEWTYPE/CO-ORDINATOR - genetically gifted pilots of mobile suits & Gundams get an additional +2 to their rolls, including bonuses from piloting experience. Amuro Ray/Kira Yamato starts with a +1 to his rolls as a "green" newtype/co-ordinator. Char Aznable/Rau LeCreuset is +3 as an "ace" newtype/co-ordinator. This should be a start. As always, I invite - and look foreward to - your comments.
