Constructing VehiclesVehicle construction is a point system, players pick

specific parts and then traits related to their vehicle. Each choice increases the points the vehicle has to buy the game stats for the vehicle.

The key to designing a vehicle is to describe what you think you want, the more traits and powerful selections you make the more costly and powerful the vehicle will be.

What makes a StrikeForce vehicleA vehicle is strikeforce, like a character, has several key

stats which define how good it is in combat or other ma-neuver situations. Main Vehicle AttributesManeuver Points how much the vehicle helps it pilot maneuverStructure Points How much punishment a vehicle can take. All Structure Pts are divided between the Four Systems; Body, Controls, Weapons, Engines. Defense Rating Ability of the vehicle to absorb and negate damage Remaining Vehicle Tonnage Current weight a ve-hicle is carrying Repair Modifiers indicates how difficult it is to repair the vehicles many systems.Cost of Vehicle Alt (Max Altitude) determines how high or deep a vehicle can go. Speed maximum speed a vehicle can travel at.Detection value ability of the vehicle to avoid detection by Forts or other VCI.PUO Amount of power the vehicle has to power sys-tems.PUTO Amount of power a system needs to work on the vehicle

Other Attributes Crew (Pass) number of people vehicle can carry Armor Weight (subtract from body total) weight of tech armor on the vehicleTotal Tonnage maximum weight a vehicle can carry in cargo, weapons, and ammo.GE Efficiency Gravelectric Efficiency displays how long it takes to reset a vehicles Power Plant.

Vehicle Design Types

The Gravelectric JetStarting in 2050 the art of making jet aircraft was peak-

ing. Technology had hit a wall on engine power and body strength. These jet craft were capable of Mach 3+ and could actually take two or three hits from missiles twice as powerful as those used in the past. The U.N. and its System planners had decided the jet was a lacking plat-form ,not as flexible as the Helo; which had become the combat vehicle of choice. The day of the Jet appeared to be

ending. Then, in 2107 the Tech guild changed the pro-

pulsion method of all vehicles by creating the Grav-electric engine.

Jets can now travel at Mach 4.5 and have armor as tough as any tank. The Gravelectric revolution has allowed the lifting properties of such extreme wing designs as the V slick channel and the Variable Geometry Ellipse. Wings can be much shorter and weapon bays can hold much more. Combat in a jet at such speeds is beyond any description. The Jets, Gravelectric Hull, and the bod-ies engines combine to power lift and forward vectors in one combined system. Gravelectric technology allowed weight and power to explode off the design sheets and saved the Jet. Today UN System planners are refocusing on the Jet and what it can do for the future of the UN Plan.

The Gravelectric HeloAs the Jet was beginning to lose favor, the Helo had en-

tered a renaissance. Newer power plants, extensive design of newer skin types and extra Mach engine boosters had propelled the Helo into the next step. The Gravelectric revolution simply expanded this growth in the Helo in-dustry. The same factors that saved the jet simply expand-ed the platform of the Helo.

Combat is a tad slower in a Helo, but the ability to hover and carry great payloads has truly expanded the plat-form.. It has replaced the Transport jet and the transport industry blimps are seeing competition from large scale platform Helos for the first time in many years.

The Helo has become the most versatile of all the plat-forms changing, from a weapons to a transport platform. The Helo is a center piece of the System and looks to be one for many years to come.

The Gravelectric Scout TankThe history of the Scout tank is a glorious one, starting

in the Secret War. The scout tank was one of the original ways to destroy a Paulson unit. StrikeForces were focused on creating a force that could take out a Paulson Unit in one or two strikes. The scout tank became that force.

After the secret war, EZone defenses became the new ob-stacle and the scout again rose to the occasion. Expanded power plants and transmissions and weapons made them a crucial part of any EZone attack.

As the Corporate wars of the 2040s gave way to the GPPI era of the New UN System, attacks by STOs in scout tanks became legends. Tate W. Russel used his tank, the Jester, to attack a series of EZones over a month and did incred-ible damage. The Gravelectric age has simply moved the tank up in stature as payloads and weapons increase in damage.

The Gravelectric Attack BoatThe age of the attack boat rose again in the early 2100s.

EZone expansion into coastal areas increased use of the coasts of infiltrations by StrikeForces and Pirates. At-tack boats really drove the creation of Defense Force boat squads and then StrikeForces escalated arming and creat-ing the attack boat.

Vehicle Technologies

The Attack Boat is like a tank on the water, and with careful weapon selection, is even capable of a great off

shore bombardment, often with no EZone defenses that can retaliate. This ability plus the UN efforts to restore wetlands, rivers and lakes throughout the world has made the attack boat a viable platform form many StrikeForce missions.

UN System Planners have been monitoring the use of the boat and its effects on the development of both strategies and weapons in the coming years. Rumor has it that the success of the boat may bring about new releases of tech-nology like min.. Subs and mobile Sea Platforms run by the UN.

DroneUnmanned combat and surveillance platforms used in

EZONEs to supplement the automated emplacements, drones are powerful technology. Drones have a higher max speed threshold, Mach 6, than other vehicles and have no spaces for crew. Gravelectric and advanced weapons tech have made these a very cost effective and powerful tool.

Transport Used to move the many good and working populations

around the planet, these large vehicles ply the trade routes in the air, on land and in the sea. Transports range from smaller personally owned craft to larger Corporate owned vehicles that carry dedicated resources and the occasional secret cargo.

Shuttle

Used to ferry CEO, Presidents, and VIPs for Corps, Na-tions and Guilds; shuttles are a luxury combat vehicle. De-signed with a larger crew area, defensive and weapons sys-tems, shuttles are much more expensive to build and equip. Corporate shuttles are also a sign of status, the better the shuttle the more status it brings.

BlimpAdvanced materials and gravelectric propulsion have

made the Blimp an excellent transport, for large cargo and vacationing Crop Sector citizens. These blimps have mul-tiple designs and cruise at blue attitudes or better.

Large Hulled VesselUsed primarily by the Sea Lords, these large vessels ply

the seas carrying supplies and other good for the Sea Lords. Several corps and Nations have leased these from the Sea Lords, with Sea Lords crew, Large Hulled Vessels tend to be defended by automated weapons and can carry in excess of 100000 KG.

Step 5 Pick Armor Materials Armor Materials

The armor used by all vehicles is extremely dense, heavy, and the better it is, costly. The weight factor of the armor is directly related to the weight of the vehicle it is protecting. A 10,000 kg vehicle with Meta Plastic armor would carry 2500 kg in armor (10,000 * .25 = 2500). The cost of that Meta Plastic would be the Final Total Weight of the vehicle x .75 added. So a vehicle with a final weight of 10,000 Kg would add 7500 crds to the cost. That same vehicle with iridium would add 760,000 crds to final cost.

Bi-Polar Ion BondsMaterial and frame are one molded material. Adds +1 DR,

+1 Max DR, +3500 to Final Weight, +400 SP, and +50 Pts

Step 7 Pick Power Plant CoreMain Power Plants

These Gravelectric Plants use null grav force to generate power. The better the GE Efficiency (lower is better) the longer a vehicle can go without having to shutdown the en-gine for resetting.

Power plants PUO x10 must be grater than vehicles to-tal weight, else they vehicle is under powered and cannot move. Multiple Power plants can be purchased.

Step 9 Pick Vehicle Control InterfaceVehicle Control Interfaces

All vehicles use Vehicle Control Interfaces (VCI) a more advanced control and radar system than were used in the Conflict. The VCI of 2136 are more compact, using na-tures forces scanners to detect targets. VCI can mount scanner chips using multiple forces to increase their TEF. The pace of modern combat, on land and in the air, makes it impossible to hit a non tracked target; because of speeds in excess of mach 2 or more. The TEF of the VCI repre-sents a 360o sensor sphere around the vehicle. The better the TEF the more powerful of the VCI. All VCI have the Electromagnetic, and WNF Forces for the purposes of Information Points and questions. Additional forces may be added by adding scanner suites that match the technol-ogy trait of the VCI. VCI without such a trait cannot take Scanner suites.

Step 11 Figure Vehicle Final ValuesAfter you have finished step 9, total up the vehicles total

points and the number of traits. The more points and traits it has the more expensive it will be, but the better its values will be. Points are spent on traits like MP, SP and DR, as you spend them you have fewer points for the next value. Each descriptive sentence lower the final cost by 2000 Crd. The description flies like a dream, hits like a battle axe would lower the cost by 4000 crd

Spend Values (Build Points are spent until at 0) Maneuver Points = 5 pts for 2 MPStructure Points = 1 Pt for 10 SPAll Structure Pts are divided between the Four Systems; Body, Controls, Weapons, Engines. Defense Rating = 10 pts for 1 DR + Starting DR Power Units to Operate: Pts x 50 + VCI PUTO + Engine PUTOFigured Values (Use total build points to figure these values) Crew (Pass) = Base is 2 + Trait bonuses Armor Weight (subtract from body total)= Body Max weight * Armor Wt.

Final Vehicle Assembly After all values are figured, the Structure Points (SP) must

be divided between the main systems. The Body of the ve-hicle must get 1/2 of the Structure Points. The remaining half are divided up between Control, Engines, and Weapon systems. When these systems hit 0 various malfunctions and failures occur, until the system is fixed.

Upgrading Systems and Traits Buying or upgrading after a build is done by using

choosing the new system or Trait. Only the Armor, Power Plants, and VCI systems can be upgraded. Any Trait can be added or replaced by a better similar trait; for example: Proven Design must be replaced by any other design trait. Cost of upgrades is ((5000 x total number of vehicle traits)x #Trait added this session.) Total number of traits includes the newly added trait.

A vehicle with 5 starting traits which adds 2 traits

Trait 1 cost = (5000 x 6 ) x 1) = 30000Trait 2 cost = (5000 x 7)x 2) = 70000

Total cost = 100000 crds

Upgrade Effects The new System and Trait points are added to the Vehi-

cles Total Points. ONLY THE NEW POINTS are used to buy additional MP, SP and DR; Max DR CANNOT be

exceeded. The new total points (and weights) are used to refigure all other stats.Time to Upgrade

Trait upgrades are requested and paid for at the start of the gaming session. Once paid for, and new values figured, they are available in that and all future sessions

Vehicle Base SpeedEach Vehicle type has a maximum speed set by its traits

and technology. Most land an sea vehicles max start around 100 KMPH while flight can start at 320 KMPH and break the sound barrier at Mach 4. Each plus to speed in-crease this one row on the speed chart in section 4.

Starting Base Critical ChancesVehicle weapons are devastating in the damage they do.

The chance for a hit that does critical damage is much more dependent on how well put together the target is than the hit itself. Each vehicle type starts with a uniform Base Critical Chance. As the vehicles are improved, this chance becomes unique to the vehicle. Lowering BCCBCC can be lowered by raising the DR. of the Vehicle or buying technology that specifically lowers the BCC. Each point of DR over 0 lowers BCC by 5.

Vehicle Story Points Vehicles can also get story points, assuming its a vehicle with a history or quirks, whether its a new build or a purchases (stolen) vehicle. Vehicles are designed and you tailor the story points to the vehicle you see your charac-ter using. Story Points equal to 1 quarter (minimum of 1, round down) of their Players starting story points are used to add these quirks. Each Story has an associated Value or System and a roll with a modifier for that target. Minimum for any roll is 10, even rolls are positive odd, while rolls indicate a negative modifier.

These story points indicate the vehicle, its builder, or its parts came from such history or situations. Negatives may indicate it was not well taken care of or repaired, while positives can indicate that the vehicle is advanced.

Players are encouraged to use the story sectors listed be-low for some ideas in creation of additional Vehicle story points, with their GM. Players may take any open cat-egory, but only 1 type of history.

Vehicle Repair Vehicles all must be repaired at some course in their lives. This, of course, will cost you money or favors.

Cost per Point of Vehicle RepairEach addition to a vehicle has a system listed after its

description, this is the system that the addition is added to. Each system has a Repair Modifier that begins at 1 and increases with each addition. Some additions add more than 1 to the repair Modifier (RM) and are listed as such. To figure base cost of repair, divide the damage taken to each system by the total damage the system can take. This is the Percentage of Damage. The cost to repair a point of damage is

((Damaged SP * Vehicle Points) * Systems RM)this is the total repair cost for each system. Time to repair

is determined by the amount of damage you have taken. Base time to repair a vehicle is the same for 1 percent or twenty percent damage. If you wish to rush the job, it will take half the time, but double the cost. Time takes as long as the longest repair time, not added together. You may repair as much of the vehicle you want. The entire vehicle does not have to be repaired.

Cockpit repairs cost double body costs.
