Gun pods

Unread post by Rimmer »

The beta cannot hold GU or EU style gun pods because of its hand shape, what about E style ? as in the E-20 from the logan.

Bolting the thing on wasen't the idea my PC's had, the Alpha pilot carried the E20 and passed it to the Beta pilot when needed.

Of course it cannot hold a gun pod. It doesnt need to. Its got guns built into the forearms. They are plainly shown in eps. #82 The Big Apple (Lancer almost ends Corg's career with them) and again in eps. #83 Reflex Point (Rand scrags the one Solugi Invid pilot).

The "Long range missiles" are not missiles at all. They are feedthrough ports for the engines of the Alpha fighter when they are hooked together.

The Beta has 3 gunpods in the fighter form. One in each hip, and one in the center.

The forarm medium range missiles are guns.

Things like that.


Comon I alway thought calling the arm joint the hand in the REF Field Manual was great.

don't recall the hip ones though.

Are the arm ones Energy or Projectile? They look energy.

Heck in Macross II they had the SAPs listed as two different ones when the only difference is the leg holster. The "head shield" was just the firing mode for the beam cannon. They also didn't include the Metal Siren's Ship Killing Pulse weapon.

So far the Revised Cyclones and Alpha's are up - but the new Beta and Vindicator Shadow Fighters are going up soon too. Within a week, I should think

Flamethrowers, that's what we need. The army has them, why can't we have them too?
