and popular fan speculation/jokes are about a Kali-Cameron love child.

Is it even speculation? We know Cameron Victor exists, even if the universe at large doesn’t.

Fan Designs and Rules / RISC PPC Capacitor

« Last post by Hazard Pay on Today at 11:16:33 »

Weighs over twice the original and is 2/3 Crits.

Can operate like a normal PPC Cap every turn, where a roll of “2” will cause it to brick itself like a normal Cap.

Can choose to wait a turn to charge an additional +5 Heat for +5 damage, granting +10 damage for the next attack for exploding on a “2” or “4”, taking the corresponding PPC alongside it and damaging everything else in the location the RISC Cap is in.

Critical hit effects remain the same.

Any other ideas?

I mean, it's not like they said the age bias doesnt exist at all. It's just doesnt seem to be as prevalent as in other clans. 37 is positively ancient by Clan standards for someone not in a command position :D.

I think Robert Bravos was at least Star Captain, maybe Star Colonel?

I really hope he gets a small redemptive chapter or two in Bill's upcoming novel.

I got a saving, and I used it as a credit. Because Im going to use it.

The worst they can say is, no. But you don't know until you ask.

I finally went and looked at my shipping charges and they are pretty hefty, but I also have a relatively large order. It may be right and proper.

I wouldn’t mind a spot check from CGL but I don’t think they owe me a rebate.

Drop them a message through Kickstarter. They might be able to help you out anyway.

I find there are two additional considerations for non-standard points.

The rules we have actually do make it quite clear even in a very well mapped system using even the Earth Moon L1 point as an example does carry a significantly higher risk of just borking a jumpcore than a Zenith/Nadir jump.

The proposed time savings only come into play if one Dropship is permanently tethered to a particular jumpship.  We know this is not the case.  We know it is actually fairly common for while a Dropship to be taking goods into a system a different one is taking goods out to the same jumpship.

Which means Jumpship A is not sitting there idle for 14 days while waiting for Dropship A to do it's thing because Dropship B is already on it's way to jumpship A and they'll be jumping out with neglible idle time.
