Re: [GZG] conversion questions

[jason standlea <freke_ravenshammer@xxxxxxxxx>]

so, it seems that opinion is that even a pulsar 'stuck' in one mode but still allowed its PDS ability is a MASSX5 weapon, or MASSX4?

 

Also, so the weaponms your referring to as well John (NIFT I assume?) but I wanted to keep any conversions I do as close to 'canon' FT as I could :)  Even though such a thing is a bit of a loose definition in and of itself!

Um. I'm not entirely sure what you mean with "mode" here.

The Pulser PDS ability is an integral part of the "profile" of *each* of
the different configurations (C, M and L), so if all you do is forbid the
weapon from being reconfigured it will retain the PDS ability and its
points cost won't change at all (because the points cost only measures the
weapon's value *during* tactical battles, and Pulsers can only be
reconfigured *between* battles).

If you remove the PDS ability, the Pulser cost drops to 4x Mass (regardless
of whether or not it can be reconfigured between battles).

I hope this helps...

I've found weapon systems that duplicate the effects you have described.

The Gat! ling blaster is 12" range and6 beam dice or 1 PDS shot. Its mass times 4

The Twin Particle Array duplicates the pulsar in M mode and again its mass times 4.

They get quite expensive but I have seen mass 50 cruisers mounting 5 multi arc arrays ans can dish out a fair number of dice at 24 inches.
