Hi all, sorry to post another one of these hiatus things. For about two weeks I've been visiting the hospice where my grandmother was dying of cancer. I have been very sad and depressed over this and also very unwilling to keep up with what I have (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

(...) So, I should have used the regular rules. *Sigh* (...) Cool. (...) I'm looking forward to writing the program. I think that's the most interesting part of the RB. I was thinking of using a flow chart type program. ~Chris (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) Hmm, I live near Tacoma, WA. If it's in the late part of July, I might be able to come down. I'm moving into a new house on June 25th, so the first part of the month is right out. (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, FTX)

(...) The RV rules are for the 2000 edition, and the (latest) rulebook is 2001. There were a bunch of changes between the two years, so I'm not surprised if you're hitting inconsistencies. Most of the RV rules got absorbed into the regular vehicles (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) Yes, I'm using the RV rules. Is there a newer version of those rules, or something I should be aware of? I was under the impression they were the rules to use when building a battlemech. I have noticed inconsistancies with the RV rulebook and (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) Nah, I think Chris is using the old RV rules from 2000, where robot brains were still worth something (RV.4.1). I don't see any reason why you can't combine a robobrain and other pilots, as long as the robot still has to follow a program (and (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

Browsing around on BrickShelf, I found these creations: (URL) like a bunch of characters and NPCs for D&D gaming (Freeport is a series of D&D modules for example). Frank (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) I'd say "sorta". A "robot brain" is really a detrimental aspect of a trooper rather than of an actual vehicle, hence your vehicle with the simple "robot brain" addition would still have no Skill, thus being still sorta inanimate. So I'd score (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(In BrikWars) Is it okay to have a vehicle with both a robot brain and/or a regular driver or gunner? ~Clangador (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) Well, it makes sense. I didn't know if it was intentional or not. I've seen pictures of 'Mechs (in BrikWars) that have unarmored joints. ~Clangador (20 years ago, 14-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

| | Re: 'Mech Damage Question

(...) Well-built models will always have an advantage over poorly-built models. That's completely intentional. The question isn't about whether a properly-armored mech has an unfair advantage, but rather, why would anyone pay full CP and then not (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

| | Re: 'Mech Damage Question
|

(...) Okay. I'm digging it. My friend, who I'll be playing against next Sunday asked me this question. If he builds covers over the joints of his mecha, will that prevent an attack against the joint until the cover is blasted away? It seems like it (...)

(...) It's more the difference between the attacker saying "I attack your mech" and "I attack the inner joint of your mech's left elbow." If he attacks a specific part, then he can use component damage. If he attacks the mech in general, then he (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

| | Re: 'Mech Damage Question

(...) It looked like you'd answered your own question in the earlier post - any mixture of component, statistic, or platform damage will do. It all depends on which type of damage the attacker thinks is most effective or most appropriate to the type (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)
