Since you can't be bothered to read the books, here this is just some from Dimension book 6 pg17 A Magic Nebula can be either a dark or luminous nebula, but within it lays a series of ley lines and nexuses. pg 20 5. Ley line storms. Networks of ley lines are known to crisscross through expanses, and...

um...why wouldn't you load your power armor on the outside with the ability to carry more? It's not like it would be difficult...or it could even pull a small trailer. Though few packs would be easy, just need a harness and slap human sized backpacks that would be more like belt pouches to the powe...

Gamer

There is also the minor problem that there is not a 'space ley line' in every solar system. Meaning that a space ley line explanation doesn't work....because even planets that don't have them near by still get the boosts. Book where it says that. Glitterboy had you considered that some of the ley l...

To add to Glistan's comment.
Here's a link to where you can look through some samples and if you like them you can purchase the full magazine in .pdf.

They have made leylines out in space canon but they have yet to come out and say that planets cross them during the solstices and such (Which makes perfect sense for them to do so ) once that cat is let out of the bag you have no end of mages or any other leyline using being going from earth to orb...

While working on a Rifts bit of fiction I've come accross a bit of a quandry. Seamus Aran, power armored soldier extraordinaire, owns a Samson mk-III, a Cougar, and a Coyote (and a really impressive arsenal of guns of all shapes and sizes) and travels with a robo-pegasus riding cyber-knight. Unfort...

would have to say no on the NG system as is due to the burst firing railgun.
wouldn't take much for an operator to switch out the weapon and turn it into a nice system though.

Gamer

For reconnaissance, I highly recommend Astral Travel. For your mage's personal travel, consider something like a TW Magic Carpet. It can be small enough for just one person and is easily rolled up and attached to a backpack when not needed. Not to mention used as your bedroll when you camp for the ...

Los Alamo near Austin Texas.
By canon this community survives the cataclysm to the juicer uprising

Gamer

wouldn't be hard to house rule that kind of weapon, maybe a scavenged skelebot, only the head for sensors and remote control, the spine, arm/hand with a weapon you are making it sound far more complicated than it really is. Just google "remote sniper system" we've had these things for yea...

The Pacific plate isn't even moving east it's actually moving northwest and taking the coast of southern California and Baja California with it. It's projected that in about 75+ million years that area won't even be connected to North America anymore as it heads north west. It's the Gorda micro-plat...

It became canon in Aftermath pg84.

Gamer

There's a lot to cover Gaby.
First is Mutant in orbit going to be used or tossed out the window?
If it's used there are things in the book thatwill effect the entire megaverse.
It's been about 24 years since publishing that's a lot of material to affect.

You have a serious limitation to what an assassin is and does.

Gamer

Not big on the infected technology either but the whole thing takes place in such a small area, that it is pretty meaningless in Rifts unless the GM wants to toss it in for a added change of pace. It does say in the book that nobody hears of it after the incident it is lost in time with of the many ...

Flatline. the section you referred to in R:UE wearing body armor makes no distinction between armor and clothing it simply says "If more than 50% of the body is covered in artificial material" which means Bob the mage so much as wears a plastic rain coat and he's screwed.. Meanwhile Bob th...

Had absolutely nothing to do with the rules it was the setting nothing else.

Re-reading a thread talking about mages and armor and it referenced a passage from the RUE where it talks about how mages are not trained to wear armor and take additional penalties for wearing armor. My question is this: For how long (i.e. how many levels or how many weeks) would someone who is no...

In the description of the Demigod in Pantheons of the Megaverse, it says they get an extra power from their parent, besides the power they pick from the Godling list. Is what they can pick defined anywhere? Can they pick another power from the godling list? A super power? The powers of another occ?...

More like a total reboot than a revisit, it has some decent potential don't waste it with a bad recycle.

I like how everyone skipped the part where I actually explained how bombers don't ruin the war if you think about it...I was only explaining what the thought on bombing runs was and how it could destabilize everything. Nobody skipped it, just explaining on how dumb that thought on bombing runs dest...

Got it at Drivethru, went through it, but it just wasn't my thing.

NEMA wouldn't use them and reasons would be covered in Juicer uprising pg 8, referring to the uproar over the 100% mortality rate in under 8 years. But, the U.S. military, intell agencies (would make great CIA SAD operators) private security/paramilitary groups, and those mentioned on page 8 in the ...

Our campaign/s had a facility where a military AI developed problems during/after the cataclysm and released U.S. Military combat bots on it's own people. The campaign idea originally used with Chaos Earth and was then later used in Rifts as the same facility only centuries later. Just choose robots...

If you are talking Infrared rather than Thermal Imager - yes. However seeing as such systems have in the past been used as part of weapon sights for tanks, a powerful enough illumination source could reach out quite a distance. For example, this system claims to be effective to 5 km and features an...

Gamer

Nightmask, full bomber squadrons would make short work of any infrastructure the gargoyles have, and their rookeries would be more vulnerable than they are now. Cutting the bomber reasons sounds more cop out than anything. War is never fair. War is a never ending circle of cause and effect. High le...

Gamer

As a real life example of range vs round power, though firing the same round at approximately the same velocity, the effective range of the M249 SAW is quoted as longer than that of the M-16 Rifle. The reason being the sustained automatic fire capability of the M249 allows it to better saturate an ...

Hmmm...I wonder if the black market got hold of IHA's design schematics. As we know IHA's designs came from the ruins of Sudbury. If you look at Rifts Black Market "Bandito Arms" pg 21 you'll find this mention about area 51: They have pulled numerous prototypes and plans for golden age we...

Gamer

Right....the question is if the Black Market was able to get ahold of those designs, either from the original Iron Heart, or the Avengers on one of their moves....(Like say in exchange for the capitol to make a new aircraft carrier, or to hide some people escaping CS assassins or....) The cannonica...

jamming, by nature, is not hard to trace. quite the opposite. if someone is sneaking into a CS base to jam their radio, they are shortly going to have to deal with the fact that the CS vastly outnumbers them. frankly, i halfway expect the CS almost *welcomes* jamming attempts. letting them know whe...

Gamer, as you've said, jamming a particular frequency isn't hard. But modern radios (and presumably future radios) transmit across multiple frequencies at the same time. This technique is commonly called "spread spectrum". Since error correction can be built into the transmission protocol...

You can still use wifi capable or wifi only phones for remote detonating There are so many millions of wifi 'toys' out there that it is very easy to retask them into a detonator.

Gamer

[ now, dealing with jamming, on the other hand, is comparatively easy. good quality jamming equipment is very rare... only found on a handful of expensive military grade power armours and such. furthermore, you can't really conceal your location if you're jamming. which means that it's not going to...

You could also place a facility/vault at the old Yuma proving grounds in Arizona.

I kinda like the MDC drill idea. A laser based tunnel boring machine would be pretty cool. Why stop at a drill? With the laser, plasma and vibro technology available a tunnel boring machine would be ridiculously easy to build and would be vastly faster at creating the tunnels. Mega shotcrete and pr...

If you still have enough resources to keep your smart phone going, you should be able to set up your own wifi area of service, it's not that hard to set up especially with all the spare equipment laying about.

The issue most people who don't live in the Rockies (and further west) don't even remotely consider is the fire hazard and it can be pretty serious even with fire fighting resources available. These fires now aren't going out until they go out themselves as there won't be anyone doing anything about...

Pretty nice, take inspiration as it comes.

Keep in mind just how amazingly powerful solar technology has become in Rifts (currently peaking with the new NG solar weapons). Even the miniscule solar panel attached to the NG-UV1 Mini-Laser can charge the equivalent power of an E-Clip in 80 hours and 40 minutes which granted sounds like a hell ...

Then the CS could put the solar roadways in the burbs and have the burbies work on them, instead of connecting the Megacities with them. The roads could also be used to root out hiding D-bees and find people that could become Operators. as KC pointed out and as I said from the very beginning they'd...

Thanks. I guess that in the process of making the main book "Ultimate", they pulled out a lot and spread it out. I think my friends have some of those books lying around... Yeah, like with the original dragons. Refer to the Conversion books for those, but they should somewhere consolidate...
