So, i had everthing all nice and tidy in the downloads section. however, due to my horrid typing skills I cut and pasted everything to the documents section. I noticed some of the tables can not be fully seen unless you look at it in the friendly printer version. however, the download is a bit better to view it. It is still very incomplete, i hope to get the rest finished so I can clean up the documents section soon.

I'll help you clean them up.
You might have noticed I did one already.

Cool

I have a tendency to over think things at times.

after just a quick purusal I'm struck by the similarities of your system to Car Wars by Steve Jackson. I was not 100% sold with the official vehicle rules but since I was just getting all new players grounded in the system I didn't feel the need to tinker with the vehicle rules- especially since we used them only once.


I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

I've developed vehicle rules in the past without knowing CW. Over time ppl have made references to my ideas as coming from CW.... so I guess that's a decent system or at least a good start for a system.

actually, i cant take credit for the system. it is mainly a collection of articles and ideas from various places that I am trying to tie together. I am however, remaking a damage table. CW was a cool game,  and I had a system one time that was similar--did it from memory, and man does my memory suck--but i figured the "tanks a lot" article didnt really cover what I wanted and the vehicle variations chart on this site was lacking weapons and armor. I figured I'd try and put them together for those, like myself, that wanted para-military or mega-corp corporate war machines. My son was supposed to help me play test the ideas, but he got a new girlfriend and, well, we all know how the play-testing went. So I figured I would put the project on here so people who were interested could check it out. Hopefully, it will also be a test bed for military war machines to be used with the Groundhawks project. When it gets finished, I hope to have a section for members to post there own creations. So jedi if you want to "tinker" on anything here, please let me know. the more help the better.
