And making the bolos (or you could just call them the tracked death) this size means the only realistic way of taking one out is with either a nuke or another bolo (or something simular) just like the books. Even though they could take even a nuke and still fight? > The *bang* chit make the bolo much more frigile Yes, this is a problem that all large vehicles have. > I figured on a DFFG with a HEL range. I think I figured a Mk XXIII Bolo I was thinking along the same lines myself, but a cl.25 DFFG with a HEL range, how many chits would it draw at a time (or is it just ALL of them? <G>). Also, for ground to orbit fire, how does a cl.5 DFFG as a plasma torp in FT sound? (so a 25 DFFG is 5D6 dammage), with the gun able to hit ships only in low orbit? (ps-do not send ortillary monitors in against a planet with a active bolo on it).
