SUPER VEHICLES
--------------
Vehicle credits are worth $100 or 1 Power Point
One VehicleHP (VHP) is equal to 10 normal HPs unless enclosed in ().
Vehicles are divided into types which are then sub-divided into sub-types.
The type of vehicle determines what the main medium of transportation will be,
land, sea, or air.

* Base speed for skate-board is 1.5 times running speed
** DB = Dirty-Big. DB-Limosines bend in the middle to go around corners.
The bendy bit has 75 VHP.
*** While trailers are not required for Mack Trucks, they are recommended.
The speed of the trailers is a modifier for the speed of the truck.
**** Tower trailers are quite high and can't fit under normal bridges and
tunnels.
***** Wide load trailers take up two lanes on most roads.
****** Portal trailers are actually universal web travelling devices which
can move material to one location only. This location is a warehouse
which is included in the price of the trailer.
& These are not trailers but rather add-ons for trailers, all stats
given are modifiers for trailers.

* Kayak speed is equal to running speed
** Hovercrafts have the advantage of being able to travel over flat
terrain.
*** Submarines can go 100m (300ft) underwater for a duration of five
hours. Extra depth can be purchased for 1 credit per +50m (150ft).
Extra air can be purchased at 1 credit per +20min. The Red October
is a nuclear submarine and can stay underwater for up to 10 days.
When a submarine recives more than 20% of it's total HP in damage, it
begins to leak. Leaking reduces air supply to 1/4.

* Base speed of a Pedal-Plane is 5 times running speed and requires an
endurance check every 30mins.
** Mach is 333m/s, or about 1200kph.
*** The F-117A is a stealth fighter/bomber and cannot be picked up on
conventional radar, IR-scanners, and make no noise audible at more
than 20m.
**** The stats given for blimps and zepplins (I know it's spelled wrong)
are for the carrage. The air sac on top is very
vulnerable and a very easy target. If the sac is hit, there is a
leak that will cause a crash in [1/dmg x 3] hours (VHP damage). For
example, if 2 dmg is done to the sac, then in [1/2 x 3] 1.5 hours
there will be a crash landing. If 300 dmg is done, then there will
be a crash in [1/300 x 3] 1/100th of an hour, or 40 seconds.
Engines
-------
The speed of different craft can be modified as follows, for 1 credit,
land speed can be boosted 10kph, water 5kts, and air 20kph*. For every 3
credits spent in this manner, 1 slot of any type is used, take note that
using generic or external slots for this purpose will leave part or all of
the engine exposed to direct attack. Once 10 steps (10 credits) have been
taken, it will take 2 credits for the above affects, at 20 steps (30 credits),
it will take 3, etc. There are also absolute limits which are applied to
vehicle speeds, they are as follows: Land: Mach 1.1
Water: 50kts (80 for hydrofoil)
Air: Mach 8.5
Armor/Shielding
---------------
Armor and shielding are used to protect your vehicle from damage
(never could've figured that out alone.) Items inside {} are modifications
for other items. A vehicle can have only one type of armor but shields are
limited only by slots. All shields of the same type purcased after the first
are half cost (round up).

Custom Armor/Shields
--------------------
Players may modify existing armor and shields at the following rate:
+10 range: 1 credit (5 on top, 5 on bottom)
+2 VHP: 1 credit (for space alloy armor, this is 0.02kHP*)
After for every three upgrades (1 step), the cost increases by 1.
* The HPs for Space Alloy armor is kHP (see space ships [ADVSHIPS.TXT])
** Multiple Pin-Point barriers may be purchased for increased HP,
however, the driver may only operate one at a time. For an
additional 1 credit, a console may be placed on the passenger side
allowing a second person to control up to 2 barriers, allowing for a
total of 3 controlled barriers at a time. Uncontrolled barriers
remain stationary and may be left to cover one part of the ship
(barriers can cover a 10 range section as high as 75. EX: 40-50,
65-75, 01-11.) If one posses more than 7 barriers, and all space is
taken up from 01-71, then characters may begin placing them at the
lowest range possible in the avialable space (72-81). Ten barriers
will cover 01-95 with each additional barrier giving a +1 range.
Fifteen barriers will cover the whole ship, however all barriers
should be kept track of individually. With fifteen weak barriers
protecting a vehicle, 01-11, 12-21, 22-31, 32-41, 42-51, 52-61,
62-71, 72-81, 82-91, 92-95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 00, are all individual
barriers and each have 6 VHP. For example if 4 dmg is done on a
strike roll of 57, then barrier 52-61 is hit. Three damage then is
done to 96. If 2 dmg is done to 52-61, then it is distroyed, leaving
an opening in the defences at that point unless a turn is spent
re-aligning the barriers by the driver/pilot or via passenger-side
control panel.
*** Deflectors push solid objects away thereby reducing the damage of all
physical weapons by 50 standard HP or 5 VehicleHP. If the damage is
reduced to 0 then the object merely touches the vehicle causing no
damage and is then abruptly pushed away. If the damage is reduced
below zero, the object does not even touch the vehicle but is
deflected before is makes contact.
Damage
------
You may have noticed that the VHP for some vehicles is ten times
greater than the VHP for the strongest shield, there is a reason for this.
The VHP for the vehicles aare the amount of damage it can take before it no
longer resembles a vehicle of that type any more. Once the armor/shielding
is destroyed and a vehicle has taken more than 20% of it's base HP in damage,
every attack that does more than 2 VHP damage gets a roll on the Internal
Damage Table. One 50% of it's HP have been lost, every attack that's 1 VHP
or higher gets a roll.
Internal Damage Table
---------------------
Roll Result
---- ------
01-15 No internal damage
16-45 Weapon destroyed
46-60 Engine damaged (1/2 speed and dodge)
61-85 Equipment destroyed*
86-90 Fuel Tank hit, 20% chance of explosion.
91-95 Driver/Passenger hit
96-00 Vehicle engine damaged, no movement possible.
* To determine which item is destroyed divide 100 by the number of items
equiped on ship (excluding cockpit). This number is the % chance that
this item is destroyed. Start with the first item and apply the
percentages.
Eg. 7 items. 100/7 = about 14
Item 1= 1-14, Item 2= 16-28, Item 3= 29-42, and so on.
Weapons
-------
I have not included ranges for weapons for three reasons:
1) Common sense should tell you can't shoot the horizon
with a machine gun, and what's the point of giving
exact ranges when very few GMs ever know exactly how
far away things are anyway?
2) There's no room
3) I'm too lazy
