Re: mobility in DS2

G'day Noel,

The logic behind the idea seems sound. My biggest problem with the idea
as 
is, is the fact that you've got to cost in the effects of the different 
terrain capabilities of the different movement schemes too. This tends
to 
clump costs so you're more likely to see something like

Mob.	    Type pt./inch  base 10" cost
----------	--------	-------------
Low-Mob wheels 1	10
Slow Tracked	    3	30
hi-mob. wheels	  3	30
fast tracked	    3	30
slow GEV	   4	40
fast GEV	   4	40
GRAV	   5	50

Though even that is probably pooling a little too much. In many ways it
is 
just much easier to designate fast/slow (and even medium as Indy
suggested) 
versions of a movement system and cost those.

But that's just my opinion, if you can make your's work I'd be
interested 
to see what results it produced ;)

Cheers

Beth
