RE: [SG] Climate/Environment Aclamation

Greetings!

Yes, I did read your whole post (thanks).

Yes, by severe I was thinking that it would be a situation where a unit
would have to have environmental suits just to survive (hydrogen
atmosphere,
extreme ocean depths, vacuum, nuclear hot zone, etc.).

For Major, I was thinking of going from a low gravity, low atmosphere
world
to a heavy gravity, high density atmosphere world. Or going from Tropics
to
Artic with no stop-over.

Yes. These suggestions could be used for unexpected changes to the
environment (like loosing gravity and/or atmosphere on a breached space
station).

G'day Brian,

Hopefully you read the rest of my post yesterday and didn't give up in
exasperation at the "IAS doesn't = cold" line ;)

I really do think your suggestion is a sound one. I'd upper it another
level for really fast changes in environment, especially for green
troops.
Another thought is that those with little motivation or morale
(backbone)
should get shifts down too. So in some circumstances a blue 1 no, but a
blue 3 maybe.

I honestly don't know. It can also depend on the person. It takes me a
long
time to acclimate, but Derek will have it down in under a week.

 >Environmental Changes:
 >Change  Aclimation Time  Treat Level Retest Period
 >Nominal None		   No Test     N/A
 >Minor   1 week	   +1	       Each Day

 >Severe  6 months	   +3	       Each Month

Sounds pretty good to me, though it'd have to be REALLY severe to rate
as
severe I guess.

To extend this one step further how would you deal with it in a game
where
you're fighting in a starship or base station or something and the
artifical g goes out?

Cheers

Beth
