Repair Times for Body and Power Armor?

Unread post by GaredBattlespike »

How long to repair X amount of MDC in X amount of time?
Example: Gladiator Body Armor took 36 MDC out of 70. How much can an individual with Armorer/Field Armorer skill repair in 5 minutes? 10? 1/2 hour? 1 hour? I know that the skill allows up to 20 MDC repair at a time, but how long does it take? Is the 20 MDC per skill use? Can the repairperson try to repair all 36 MDC with two (2) skill uses?

Any help would be appreciated.

I generally say 10 MDC an hour if it's only lost 1-30% of it's total MDC. if more than that, 2 hours per 10 MDC until it gets back to 30%, then 1 hour per 10 until it's fully restored.

as usual, you need at least 15% of the armor left to repair it, or else it's unsalvagable (though still good for whatever MDC is left)

Based on the rules in Robotech, M.D.C. x 12 minutes, or 5 M.D.C. per hour.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles
them to believe that you perceive the web they weave
and keep on thinking free.
