So the use of protoculture was restricted to the elite units only. The guys defending Supream Commander Leonard's All you can eat Super Cheap Economy one ton hot buffet in Monument City, Proto-Fusion engines. The guy guarding the rank and file citizens of Mexico city, Fusion alone.
Sorry, not According to the southren Cross book as Printed.
Now then, RSC Fan wondered about why aren't their any stats for impaired ASC Mecha running on Fusion alone.
Because the Switch to Fusion impared the Mecha not one bit, unless your wanting to Add Infomration form Rifts:CB1.
My answer, the ASC is the weakest componet of the Robotech series, and definately of the RT games. Little intrest in them so a small company like Palladium isn't going to invest in writing much on a sub setting that most people use to suppliment the other three sub-settings
Are you Trying to Bait RSCF? as for ti being the "weakest" componet of the Show, It confirms you have Never Seen the Show, the Macross Era is the Weakest point of the Show, as Earth had Less then 200 Ships, the SDF-1 is the only Ship in the Earth forces that can Compare to a Tri-star... Compared at least 350 UEF Ships pushed against the Masters.
IIRC, and we'd need to ask, Wayne or Kevin himself was planning on addressing this in one of the scrubbed RT source books.
a Unprinted book means nothing, it is less then nothing. What could-of, would-of, should-of Means nothing, the Southren Cross books as Printed are 100% correct.
Col. Wolfe asked about why the ASC book says one thing and II/Sentenals says another.
My answer, Palladium, in typical palladium fashion, never got around to making the addendum to the ASC book. It never was that good a seller, though I do understand it has recently gained in popularity in comparison to the Macross componet and Invid Invasion componet.
typical of Palladium, but guess what, a Non-existant Errata & Rules Correction means nothing. The Books as Printed are Correct. if your saying they aren't.... Then the 100 other places it is Blantly Wrong can also be Ignored in discussions on this forums. We As RPG fans only have one point of Comonality, the RPG books as Printed, what ever Errata you have added only Makes to Cloud the Feild and Cause Confusion... as you told me Taffy:
please keep the nature of your discussions to Palladium books published materials. It's the common point of reference that everyone on this board has. If you want to discuss and debate the attributes of machines that didn't make it into Palladium books or ended up on the cutting room floor of the anime, start a new thread or take it to another board. There is no way I'm going to try and debate machines that have no point of reference to those here at the Palladium books website.
