Vehicle Upgrades especially RT Veritechs

[Zer0 Kay]

What are the best upgrades for vehicles you can think of and where are they found?

[Zer0 Kay]

technowizardry is the best.found in the RMB

Can you site the a few of the best upgrades that you would apply to a Veritech fighter or it's weapon systems? Or any other fighting vehicle if you choose not to note the VF.

Invincibility. and/or impervious to energy. the two hallmarks of TW armor

Technology hands down. Magic's great for stuff on Earth or other magic rich planets, but short of teleportation spells and minor flying spells of that ilk, magic just can't compare to the boundlessness of technology. Plus...there's no "anti-tech cloud" magic spell

[LunarYoma]

i perfer a combination of them.

like a pure tech solution with neural hook ups or a combo on magic & tech.

[Shin Kenshiro]

Plus...there's no "anti-tech cloud" magic spell

That depends on what game you're in...

BOOK-wise...there is no spell. God knows how many of those have been created outside of PB. Unless Nightbane or something has one...

Not really but I'd really hate to see a TW bomb that has the Negate Mechanics power on it.

I think the spell says something about not being able to imobilise the armor but I'd hate to see what happens if it halts the life support or the nuclear cooling system.

I'm a bit surprised that there isn't a "anti-tech cloud" spell. Magic bends the laws of physics so why not have a spell that actually does break them


I've always prefered tech upgrades, but those are getting kinda old. Only so many neural connections, magnets in the palms and feet, force field upgrades and weapons changes before it starts to get old.

I like tricking out mecha with TW enhancements well enough, but there's another aspect Rifts offers which I am surprised to see unmentioned: Artificial Intelligence. Using the robotics rules from Rifts Sourcebook 1, you can not only have a veritech, you can play a veritech

Invincibility

I'll assume you meant Invisibility: Superior.

Probably meant Invulnerability.
TW upgrades on PA and Robots are the obvious way to go. A Super Samas that can be impervious to energy and invisible is a good example.
Or a Spider Skull Walker with Armor Bizzare etc.

Actually my brother's TW created his own VeriTech to be able to join up and have some fun that our friend's rifted in RoboTech VT pilot was having.

Of course his TW veritech didn't transform by hydraulics or actuators rearraning the components of the machine in a transformation sequence. Nope. His TW VeriTech fighter just had the Metamorphosis spell as part of it's creation. It just morphed between Robot, and fighterplane in a flash of light.

I think it useda Mechanoid power crystal as it's reactor core. TW gear always seems to need crystals of some sort, like Quartz and diamonds and such. That Mechanoid power crystal seemed appropriate, and powerful to boot.

More like a transformer than Veritech. So why Metamorph that more like molds the features. Teleport and Atune Item would t-port the fighter/robot and t-port the otherone in. Or have a dimensional pocket where the otherone is stored and require dt-port that way the no t-porting into sealed armor guys may not argue it.
