ToDo for HARP SF (version 4g)
« on: September 09, 2007, 12:38:54 PM »
On my todo list:

1) Redo the vehicle table. Now have a spreadsheet to keep the costs and mass constraints accurate. have raised mass and price of many vehicle weapons. RELEASED version separately

2) Sensor systems - rules on sensing through barriers etc DONE and with alpha playtesters

3) Adding in software talents for AIs/virtuals, expect upward adjustment of Robotic talents giving stat boosts, changing rules on robot hits to make them closer to biologicals DONE

4) Linked weapons fire rules and coordinated attacks for vehicle combat system DONE

5) Correction to NPC table to cope with mandatory subskills ruling, notably Vehicle skills DONE

6) Increased prices for improved versions of low cost equipment UNDONE as it didn't survive alpha testers. I've put a banning rule on improving equipment that already gives out numeric bonuses.

7) Introduced a Command telepathy discipline ("These are not the droids you are looking for") and tweaked Control  description. DONE

7a) Command reworked to Suggestion. Clouding, Control, and Scan reworked. All telepathy field disciplines rejigged to avoid repeating the whole own species/alien species material in each Discipline DONE

7b) Now only allowing either Mental Focus or Extra PEPs to be used in activations. If an activation using extra PEPs is fumbled, add the extra number of extra PEPs used to the fumble roll. Also extra PEPS limited to buying off Tier penaltiesDONE

7c) New talent added: Split Concentration allowing a psi to concentrate on two already active disciplines simultaneously. DONE

7d) Wipe reworked. DONE

8) Reduced time-frame for genetic augmentation and allow characters to be up and about, albeit at penalties, after first-quarter of time is done. DONE

9) Created High Gravity Training talent to offset some high-gravity penalties. Worked better than a new skill. DONE

10) Waiting to see if the consensus is we should collapse Aerial Combat into Flying. DONE

Best wishes,
Nicholas

All the land vehicles now restatted. Once marine and aircraft are done, I'll release them for review, while I then work on the spacecraft.

Best wishes,

Marine vehicles now done. That leaves aerial, multi-environment and space.

4e is available from the download section. I'm planning on skipping 4f as a release (it gets kept in my archive in case I need to reset the subskill rules) and issuing 4g as the next one. I don't know when I will release it but I will release the vehicle table as soon as it is ready to solicit comments.

A complete set of vehicle stats is now up in the Download area. I'll have to revise some of the vehicle descriptions as a result so that will have to go on the todo list.

Virtual and AI characters may now gain the following robotic Talents (without needing a robotic body):
Audio Processor
Cryptocomms
Focus Unit
Intuition Unit
Knowledge Package
Logic Unit
Olfactory Processor
Sense Processor
Skill Expertise
Social Unit
Tactile Processor
Taste Processor
Visual Processor
Voice
- Voice Amplifier
- Voice Emulator
- Voice Modulator

with Focus, Intuition, Logic and Social Unit as stat booster equivalents. Prices are more expensive in DPs and cash as the boosts are permanent. Tough Body as a Con stat booster for Robots, DP cost of Agile, Fast, Strong and Tough Body upped to 10, Extra Endurance talent has  been scrapped, so robots now buy Endurance skill ranks but only at their construction level (so no maxima on ranks purchasable at that level).

Best wishes,
Nicholas

new set of sensor and scanner rules now in alpha checking - these use a cascading success scheme as Mungo suggested. Items 6 and 7 on list also done.

Hope to release version g this week.
