I have made that question in the Magic section of the forums but the lack of feedback made me post this here... sorry for the inconvenience
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
That is a question that comes from one of my players regarding the creation of a TW power source for a power armor.
The question is: How can I create a TW power source that could run a power armor for 5 years of constinuous use?
He ask me how much PPE to construct, what spells and devide level and principally how much PPE to recharge the said power source to full power.
He also have a goal to construct a TW spaceship (after geting rifted to Center and seeing the ships there he got that idea) and for such thing he wish to know how to create that part.
I really dont know how to answer that question so I am asking you guys.
This is also a question that goes on my mind from time to time because I really dont know hos to determine for example how much PPE is stored into such TW power sources that are always a option in the construction rules for Robots that are presented in the SB1 for example and other vehicle creation rules around as well.

Re: TW Power Convertion and the Rules - again
Thanks for the reply and that is a pretty awesome engine but I have one question: What about things like power armors and cyborgs that dont have a "engine" but a "battery" because of their respective sizes? How much PPE would be needed to run then for 5 years of continuous use?
Sorry if I am being obnoxious but I really cant get the hang of it when it comes to RUE TW creation rules.

Ok.
Taking a look on the old RMB Mystic Generator I have concluded that the amount of PPE needed to charge a TW baterry used as in the SB1 rules for robot power source would be between 1500 to 3000 PPE for a 5 years duration. That is a lot of PPE, even some gods dont have that much.
I assuming that you start with a base of 50-100 PPE for construction cost, double what in the mystic generator entry said is necessary for a office building, since a robot/power armor/military vehicle would have a greater energy expendure than a building.
In RUE rules that would be problematic, a lot problematic since the amount of gems needed to store that much PPE would make the price skyrocket to the point the final price for installment would far surpass the 6 million credits price the old SB1 said a TW energy system would cost but since there is no simple answer to that I will say to my player that he would need that amount to create the power source he wish for the robot character in the party.
