Equipment Notes
Radio
This can be worn inside the vacsuit or protective suit. The Booster
enhances the range considerable, and the Commlink allows you to monitor
numerous different channels.
Uniform
Your Federation Starship Uniform is a tailored Flack Suit made of Fire
Resistant materials. It carries your rank insignia, etc. The other uniform is
your dress uniform. Very smart, very poncy, but it doesn't half itch... 8) It
also has no armor protection.
Grenade Carry Strap
The Grenade Carry Strap is a Bandola like arrangement, which slings over the
shoulder, carrying 8 grenades (like Chewbacca wore in SW).
Laser Carbine
The Laser Carbine is a sort of SMG Laser Rifle. The clips contain high value
pulse capacitors. These are destoyed when the gun is fired, hence a clip of
them. They are ejected from the breech mechanism. Note, they're hot as hell
when they come out, and they will burn unprotected skin. The Laser sight
projects a laser beam in the direction of the laser. A laser dot appears on
your target so you know what you're going to hit. It can also be used to guide
laser guided rockets/missiles, but only if they are tuned to the laser.
Machine Pistol
The Machine Pistol is a fully automatic pistol. It can fire either 1 bullet, a
short stream (6 bullets), or a continuous stream. The clip is small so there
is a limit to the duration of fire. The extended clips double the amount of
ammunition, but they are twice as big, making them hard to conceal. (ie.
Conceal your gun and the Extended Clips seperately. The gun can hold a normal
clip and be concealed normally).
Ramjet Rifle
The Ramjet Rifle is a top of the line hunting/sniper rifle. The bullets are
actually miniture Ramjet engines. When the gun is fired, a propellant charge
in the bullet fires it foward, and as the bullet clears the muzzle, the ramjet
engine ignites, propelling the shell forward at ever increasing velocities.
The effect of this is the bullet does more damage at longer ranges, and the
maximum range is massive. The Infared Imaging scope makes night action
possible, and the Magnification makes targeting easier at long ranges. Note
you only have one clip (10 Bullets), because of the expense.
