Gundam Warships for the "Mecha!" RPG System

First Draft July 2003 by Linwood Foster III

1.0 Introduction
After many years of announcing this project, I finally decided to
finish it up. Sources for the ship stats listed here include: the "Comparison
of Ships in 0083" article from UC Herald 2 forwarded to me by Mark Simmons,
stats from the Big List of Mecha and the FAHQ webpage put together by Burke
Rukes, and extrapolation of lineart from Entertainment Bible 37. In combining
stats from these different sources, I came upon errors in the weapons listings
for several of these warships. In most cases, I decided to go with what I could
see in the lineart versus the stats listed in other places. In going with
generic names for the warship weapons for Mecha!, I renamed many of the
cannons listed in the various Gundam stats. The original names and their
Mecha! equivalents are as follows: mega-particle cannon = super cannon, sub
gun = secondary cannon, laser/machinegun/secondary/anti-aircraft cannon =
anti-mecha cannon, missile launcher = missile bay, and launch catapult = mecha
repair bay.
2.0 Warship Combat
Warships in Mecha!, in most cases, use the same rules as regular mecha
in combat. All are considered as Super Heavy-class mecha for weight, and all
have the ability to Dodge. However, exceptions come into play when mecha and
warships interact with each other. The exceptions are as follows:
1) Cruiser cannons and missiles roll 1D10 to hit. Anti-mecha guns use 2D6 to
hit.
2) Due to having dozens to hundreds of crewmembers, cruisers are able to fire
on multiple targets with no penalties.
3) Secondary cannon are -2 to hit mecha. Main Cannon are -3 to hit mecha.
Super Cannon are -4 to hit mecha.
4) If a mecha is within 5" of a ship, it may participate in that ship's anti-
missile defense.
5) A ship must spend 1 AP to launch each mecha. The mecha travels a distance
equal to their movement for 1 A.P.
6) Damaged or retreating mecha can board any ship with repair bays up to the
ship's maximum number of mecha. The mecha must be able to move the
equivalent of 1 AP to board the ship.
7) A ship may spend 1 AP each round to repair any damaged mecha onboard. Each
bay can repair 20 points of mecha per round, until the full point cost
of the mecha is repaired.
8) CRUISER MODIFIED CRITICAL HIT TABLE
Automatic: lose 1 die armor, 1 missile pod, plus the following:
1 Lose 1" from movement limit.
2 One weapon destroyed.
3 Lose two weapons.
4 One mecha repair bay destroyed, including any suits inside.
5 One missile bay destroyed. Roll 1D6 damage for each
remaining missile. Additional critical hits may be rolled.
6 Catastrophic: roll again.
1-3 Bridge wiped out. No helm or movement. Weapons may
continue to fire.
4-5 Main Reactor destroyed. No weapons or defense shields.
Ship may continue to move.
6 Cruiser explodes. Normal detonation rules.
