As far as Small Arms: The K-30 and KEP-Special has been a staple in most of my character's equipment since Atlantis came out. :)

Give me five Mate, I'd say the same. when Atlantean stuff is unavailable, I love the NG 45 LP pistol, have a fondness for BIG and nasty rifles (heavy plasma projectors and railguns for the most part... that comes with favoring characters with supernatural strength) ... as for armor, I have a fondness for classical Nor Am stuff in Body Armor, from the good ol' gladiator to thos fancy NG cowboy styles. Power armor... I guess I'm partial to the Japanese stuff and I must admit that Triax, the Coalition and le Québec Libre all have things that I'd not mind getting my mitts on... of course, my favorite tech character is currently stuck with a souped up Triax Predator, and he mislikes the deficiencies in armament and manual dexterity.

I have no idea how to answer this. The thread title says "Weapon Supplier." The poll question says "Armor." And the orginal post says "Power/Robot Armor." That's three very different questions.

Please, pick one.

Take chipwell (I believe it is them that makes the SDC powerarmor) and modify the spell Ironwood (which turns SDC wood into an megadamage item) so if can turn SDC metal into megadamage metal... and you got a tank.

I was thinking of this a little bit a go. and dammit! Thats a god awesome idea.

You're not the only one to have thought of it, but let's remember a few facts.

1) Ironwood is already a lvl 12 spell, and the cost, which can already rise quite high, would likely be even higher for a similar transmutation of metals (personally, I'd say 15 PPE for 10 SDC turned to MDC, or maybe even a doubling of the cost, so 2 PPE per SDC point affected, minimum spell cost : 100 PPE)

2) Ironwood cannot affect complex machinery. If a suit of power armor or exoskeleton like Chipwell's (or any other) doesn't qualify for that... I don't know what does. so a spell that could work on *that* stuff would be even higher level (shoots right into spells of legend there) and even more costly.

3) the only thing I know that can produce a similar effect is a greatest artifact : namely the Tarnow Crystal. and even it has the limitation that it doesn't affect alloys and composites, only pure metals. On the other hand, Chipwell stuff is certainly steel and alloys, not pure iron or the like...

so if anybody has an idea about how this Chipwell c**p to tank transformation could be effectively done, short of resorting to a GM engineered plot device (i.e. nothing that PCs can do unless the GM really want's to up the game's ante and gives them the thing because he has something *very* fishy in mind and is ready to let them have an army of powerful PA... at least for a time) I'd be glad to hear your suggestions. Up to recently, I've never seen that stuff in play, except as equipment for goons. (No way any right thinking player will be seen in those death traps)

Chipwell Armor with heavy Naruni Weapons... They laugh at you right up untill they see the 3" bores pointed their way... One failed horror factor later.

i like northern gun and Coalition stuff as the mainstay of my arsenal.
But the Wilk's 457 is my favorite gun. Ever. with the JA-12 as a close second.

as far as power armor, give me the Mikado. I'll take the Mikado over anything by the CS, Triax, Japan, Kittani, Naruni; anybody.

robots, tanks, APCs i dont really mess with. The MI Desert Fox is my favorite light vehicle.

can't stop thinking about that Mikado though......

Northern Gun! The NG-X9 Samson Power Armor is my ol' reliable stand-by! :ok: :D 8) It's not to expensive, has good MDC, good speed, the jump-assist jet come in very handy(Jumping 55 feet straight up to grab the very suprised, levitating Evil Mage and haul him down for the Juicer is just cool!) It's NG-202 Super Railgun has excellent range, damage and uses ammunition with average efficiency. The mini-missile launchers are a very good specialty-ammo weapon (Fragmentary Warheads in pairs cause 10D6 MDC to a 20-30 foot blast radius! :ok: :thwak: :mrgreen: )
The NG-IP7 is an excellent weapon with single (aimed) fire, and burst fire (1D4 [X 10] MDC) modes. I love the regenerating NG power packs!!!!! :mrgreen: :ok: :angel: :D :ok: I know the other manufacturers are often considered to be better but I am a loyal customer with a very good rapport with my main supplier. :ok:
