I'm working on some of my Gear designs for SG and I'm trying to find some info
on weapons and systems capacity points cost. Specifically I'm trying to build
an artilery Gear and I can't find info on how big an artilery piece should be.
And EW equipment, does it take up any space in the vehicle?

The formula for constant linear acceleration is d = 1/2 at^2 (d =
distance, a = acceleration, t = time)
In FT scale, d = 1000km, t=.25hour, and a= about 2.47m/sec^2
(if you used 1 gee and 7.5 minutes you'd get close to 1000km which is why I
keep harping on it)
You're saying use d = 10,000,000km (increase from FT scale by 10^4). However,
the acceleration is multiplied by t *squared*. So increase the time by 10^2
and you should work out right. Plugging it into the
spreadsheet, I get a=2.47m/sec^2, t=90,000sec, and d does indeed turn
out to be 10,000,000km (actually, if you use 2.47m/sec^2 you get
10,003,500km).
90,000sec divided by 3600sec/hour = 25 hours. So a FT ship under
constant acceleration covers 1 "system MU" in just over a day.
The problem is that, if you accelerate for 2 days, you should move 4MU, not 2.

In DS2, anywhere from small to large, or Size 1 to Size 5. IIRC, 3 to 15
capacity points. BTW, artillery in SG2 and DS2 has very long range, as it does
in real life. Usually artillery vehicles are not present on the table top in
either game, unless it's a feature of the scenario. For a Gear figure,
probably a Size 1 would be best.
> And EW equipment, does it take up any space in the vehicle?
No. ECM just costs points, not capacity. There's some more ECM/EW stuff
on the Dirtside 2 section on my site.
All this is from memory, as I seem to have mislaid my DS2 book.
I hope that helps!
> -----Original Message-----
> From DS2 p12:
Artillery comes in the following classes:
Class Weight Examples
2 Light RAM Mortar
4 Medium RAM Guns, Howitzers, smaller MRLs
6* Heavy MD Guns, large MRLs, HARs
* DS2 notes that this is an exception to the normal 1-5 range.
Also if you use the suggested rule that a vehicle may carry a weapon no more
than 1 size larger than the vehicle's size, only a size 5 vehicle may carry
Heavy Artillery. If you do
not use this rule, it could fit in a class-4 vehicle, but
not much else would fit. (Capacity for a vehicle is 5x size).
Capacity for artillery is x3 class, in a limited traverse turret*, weapons.
This size includes enough storage for 3 actions of artillery fire (DS2 p40). *
Only listed option.
Glossary:
RAM Rocket Assisted Mortar
MRL Multiple Rocket Launcher
HAR Heavy Artillery Rocket
MD Mass Driver (In this case the shell is still explosive,
but the weapon fires an exceptional number of smaller shells via magnetic or
gravimetric means).

Someone did come up with an idea for crew killers but it's something
that's VERY difficult to balance - I'd almost say prohibitively so -
because some ships only have one crew factor. Eliminate that, and
you've got a "free" 60+ point value ship in one shot.

Attacks are simultaneous.
Optional rule, first turn the pod has to burn it's way through the hull

A quick question? If a ship accelerates at 1 thrust, and covers 1 MU in 1
turn, and 1 thrust equals 1G, for a fighter to be able to go from a standing
start to a standing stop and cover 48 MU (a fast fighter using secondary
movement), would it`s acceleration be 96G`s? (or am I missing something?).
Also, a SML missile has a mass of aprox. 600 kg (standard missile, not
ER),
a warhead of 1D6, and a thrust high enough to cover 24 MU (working from memory
here), whereas a FT missile masses 2000 kg (roughly x6 the mass) for a warhead
only twice the damage, and a thrust only capable of moving it 18 MU in a turn
(but with 3 turns endurance instead of 1). You have double the
payload (warhead), x3 endurance, but only 3/4 the range? I can see a
quick & easy way to make MT missiles better here?
BIF "yorkshire born,yorkshire bred, strong in arms, thick in head"
DS2 offers no help in this case as there is no EW in DS2 (but also no leader
activation of units, so it is not as important as in SG2).

Using the FB1 rules, P-Torps can have up to 3 arcs.
But, no, I have not tried an all-arc P-Torp.

It would be an interesting mix if you used the FT/2ndEd rules for those
ships and the FB1/2 rules for those ships.
FT2 Advantages: 1) Less Expensive (I believe) 2) Strong Hulls for all ships 3)
Wider firing arcs (greater coverage) 4) Level 3 screens
5) ADS (can attack non-attacking fighters)
6) Cheaper 'A' Beams
7) Can't loose repair crews/More efficient repair crews
FB1 Advantages: 1) Size (FB ships are roughly 2x the size of FT2 ships) 2)
Core Systems (FT2 does not have core systems rules)
3) Arcs for P-Torps
4) Smaller Aft Arc 5) More repair crews
IMHO I would think that, in an equal mass game, the FT2 ships would have a
slight advantage over the FB1 ships except in a
fighter/missile heavy engagement.
I probably already mentioned it, but you are welcome to browse the over 200
FT2 ship designs that I have collected at

I have been wanting to do an expanded Kra'Vak word-fragment list for
some time, but have not accomplished it yet.
You can see Jon Tuffley's Official Word-Fragment list that he posted to
the list as well as Steven Arrowsmith's list it was based on and my variation
derived from FB2 without seeing JT's list. These are at

One of the problems with the Browning.50 Heavy MG was its tendency for
non-dispersal (it was TOO accurate) at range. That Automatic weapons
fire spreads out is a good thing. I suspect that Metalstorm is not zeroed at
all, a s this cannot be done. The barrels are pointing in the same direction
(mostly), but the dispersion is needed because the target is not always
precisely located. Metalstorm is gross overkill for mankilling, and probably
will not be used for that (claymores are cheaper and lighter). It will be used
to destroy aircraft attacking high value targets, or against missiles when
mounted shipboard. There will never be enough men in one place to warrant
firing one. Aircraft cost more than metalstorm, and the dispersion means that
something should hit the aircraft and something hitting the aircraft should
cripple it, a s it must be light enough to fly and budgets prevent anything in
it from being
non-essential.

If I was the designer of metalstorm for field use, I would not bother to
consider reloading it at all. The barrels would be six sigma rated to fire its
load once and then they are abandoned in the field (I would never force
infantr y to carry any spent weapon that cannot be loaded in the field,
especially if its heavy).

As a support weapon, there is nothing besides shooting at aircraft that
metalstorm does better than a GPMG, and much that it does worse.

The real problem is the shear volume of space. For example, if you tried
to accurately depict the Earth-Moon system, Earth would be a 13" dia.
sphere and the Moon would be a 3" dia sphere 384" away. That's over 10
yards... It's worse for the gas gaint planets, even if you discard all of the
small asteroid sized moons...
I've been trying to scale out the Solar System, and the each planetary system.
I originally thought of doing the planets at 1mu = 1mm (map scale) = 1000km
(actual size). Even with only the major moons, dia >= 1000km, you still need
huge amounts of paper:
Jupiter 4 meters across
Saturn 7.2 meters across Uranus 0.4 meters across (Hurrah, a sane one!)
Neptune 7.2 meters across
The problem with increasing the scale to 1mu = 1mm = 10,000km is that most of
planets and moons go to points...

G'day guys,

Speak for yourself mister, most of the guys here have artillery on table
(makes calling it a hell of a lot easier), I'm the only sucker who has off
board stuff and that's because mine's ortillery... much harder to do CBR on
that;)
Having said that I don't disagree with what you told Jaime mech wise though.
Cheers
