Hey JD:

 

Just out of curiosity, do characters have to pay points for rocket pistols, or are they part of the "freeby" equipment?

 

And, if a character picked up the option of a jr. officer, would the character get a rocket flier, or would they have to pay points for that as well?

 

Thanks, working on a character concept as I'm bored out of my mind.

Equipment is not paid for with points.  It would be either issued as approproriate or purchased with money.  A junior officer would not have a rocket flier, but might be issued one for a specific task.

Ok, makes sense... I was really hoping for that flier. lol

Ok, I know this is still months away, but after reading through everything, I think I've figured out a character for it.

 

Going with 50 points with 50 points of disads (Only had to come up with 15 on my own), I've gotten it worked out. Can't say I'm really happy with the stats, but they aren't bad all in all...just don't want to get hit with a disentgration gun... unless the game actually has a forcefield?

 

A few quick questions, to make sure that I'm not looking at things that I can't have.

 

The equipment is, at the moment, a rocket pistol, extra ammo, a knife and "normal" traveling items, A Jump Belt and helmet radio.

 

Any of those a no-no as part of the "Freeby" equipment assigned to a semi-scout?

Equipment availability will be dependent on character
background/occupation, and its something I haven't really thought
through really well yet. Don't worry too much about it - one way or
another we'll be able to make pretty much any reasonable thing work.

As for the stats, I would get too fussed about how low you think they
are. Just remember, everyone else (player character and most
non-player characters) is built on the same point base ad will
probably have stats in similar ranges.

Sorry, no force fields.

Thinking about it a little more, I may dig out and update the
equipment rules from the old Super Agents game from the Hero System
3rd edition era. The gist of them was that you have - based on some
aspect of your character (job, rank, standing, etc, etc) - an
Equipment Allotment which is basically a pool of points that you use
to purchase equipment.
