Questions about company equipment

[Sagefire]

Note: All of this is OOC
I'm not really sure where to find the equipment lists but Ben wants me to put a battering ram on at least one of the vehicles. Also for Mike's information I can add an additional weapon to each section of a car and to the building if we wanted them reinforced. And Ben was suggesting my character jury-rig something on to his armor that will spark a bit when I transform, to hopefully fool people into thinking it is just really high-tech power armor. I don't know how possible that is and what it would require, but I wanted to throw it out there. Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong spot Josh.

Not a problem.  (I did end up moving it to the General section here to keep that other thread just for company equipment & info-- helps me to see where things are and stuff).

1) The battering ram would be fine.  You could buy the material you would need to build one for about... 5000 credits for every 10 MDC you wanted to put into it, up to a max of 50 MDC.

2) Adding the weapons is fine as well-- you'll need to either buy those/the materials for them, or use ones that the company already owns.

3) As to making the armor spark-- can you even wear armor while you're transformed?  I would think it would be vaporized (or at least melt)...  Unless it transforms with you.  Anyway, if you/Beatobur could clarify that for me, that'd be great.

For doing the repairs and things, post your skill rolls as a story post under the Company Base thread (assuming you're doing the work there).  Go ahead and do a little of role-play with the character as well, like what he's doing and things.  Doesn't need to be extravagant or anything, but needs to be more than just "here's my rolls..."

If you want to buy stuff, post that he's going to the city and then post in the Berchtesgaden thread and I'll respond with any characters that interact with you and what you see.  I'll likely create additional threads for specific stores and things once you need them, and you can post your interactions with the people in the stores in those threads when that becomes relevant.

Usually with the physical transformation powers it transforms your clothing with you.  It'd be up to you if armor counts as clothing or not.  I'll do some digging in case I missed a definitive yes or no somewhere.

Ok, here's the ruling on a couple of things that've been asked both here and in a couple other places on the boards (I want to have them in a single place).

Max transforming with armor

If you are wearing standard MDC body armor, it will transform with you, however, it will not help you while you are transformed (it would be just as if you weren't wearing any).  When you transform back, it will resume its normal operation.  Power Armor, however, if you are wearing any, will not transform, and will take damage equal to the coming in contact ability (#4) listed under your supernatural abilities.

Repairing MDC equipment

The cost to buy the materials necessary to make the repairs is 5000 credits per 10 MDC.  Note that there must be at least 15% of the MDC left in order to be able to repair the equipment-- if it has less, it is scrap metal.

Adding MDC to equipment

Since adding MDC plating/armor is less time consuming and requires less customization of the parts than repairing damage does, adding additional MDC to equipment costs 4000 credits per 10 MDC.  The upper limit of MDC that can be added is dictated by the Operator OCC on a per-level basis (beatobur, post if that's different for your character).

Change to previous instructions about posting for shopping/in town

As I have time and as we need them, I'll continue updating the town with other buildings or stores.  For now, use the ones that I've posted in the new board, "Town of Berchtesgaden".  If there is not something there that you need, or the ones there don't quite fit what you need to do/buy, then let me know and I'll see about getting something added that you can use.

Okay, I'm adding a battering ram of 50 S.D.C to each car, they each cost 25,000 for a total of 50,000
