(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

Hello, I have a question. I guess my other post on this didn't get thru. I played a game of BrikWars Sunday. We played 10 troopers and a singel 'Mech each. I'm using the Robitic Vehicles rules. The damage rules for 'Mechs seems kind of unclear. How (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

I'm working on making stats for a LEGO motorcycle in BrikWars. But, when I work it all out, it comes up with 0.5 inch for a movement rate. I'm either doing something wrong, or the stats in the game break down at some points. Or, I may not know what (...) (20 years ago, 28-May-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)
