Oh man that was a poor turn for me. I may have to use all my rerolls on that one.
Unlike me, I'm still the slowest and am very lonely in my transport.

Question: The weaponry details will have an effect on their power in the description right GM? Are the crewmembers unique or just generic humans?

The weapons might have special effects depending on your description.
Crewmembers are just generics, though some of them are better in their job then others

Would a gun that automatically shot solid cylinders of steel into incoming projectiles be considered a weapon or a defense?
If it shoots other players, it's a weapon, if it's bloks attacks, it's a defense mechanism.

Also,  I'm going to put all players rolls and thier effects in one little spoiler in the next turn, as requested.

Red wrecker supreme:

[3]: The racing car build gives no real advantages nor disadvantages.
[5]: The Red wrecker's engine is one of the fastest in the AFWRC. (Speed +5)
[5]: The Red wrecker's gas fueled and comes with is own compressor, which makes it's fuel cheaper and easier to find.(Very cheap fuel
[4]:Cargo hold Size 50 
[2]: Your first fuel tanks aren't very big.Rerolled
[4]: Fueltanks: That's why you spent some extra time on them, seriously increasing their size(fuel 8 )
[-]Crew: Not rolled. Default to 1

Darkling Shadow:
[3] The Darklink shadow can traverse both land and sea, but requires 1 fuel and 1 action to switch. The ship also inquires some speed loss due to it's shape(-1speed)
[3] The Darklink shadow isn't very fast but it isn't slow either(+ 3 speed)
[1] Sadly the Darklink Shadow engine isn't very resilient and requires custom made high energy jet fuel.(Expensive, explosive fuel)
[3][Cargo]:  You cargo's rather small, mainly because you wanted to increase speed.(30 cargo +1 speed)
[4][Crew]:  You have space for 4 crew  members, including yourself 
[2] [Fuel Tanks]:  Your fuel tanks are rather small (6/6 fuel)

Worldconq MK1:

[6] The Worldconq MK 1 is a heavily armored tank, perhaps a little bit to much.(-1 speed,+1 armor)
[4] Despite it's heavy armor, the Worldconq is still quite fast.(+4 speed)
[5]The worldconq MK1 's uranium reactor can burn almost any type of nuclear fuel. And luckly for you Omni-Tech  products have been powered by nuclear batteries since 2021.(Very cheap fuel)
[1]  The cargo space is in fact definitly to small(20 cargo space)
[2]  There isn't much fuel storage either(6/6 fuel)
[1] Your robotic pincers are a big disappointement, it seems you can't get further then a rotating stick.( Robotic pincers, melee d2)

The armadillo

[5]The Armadillo can easily switch between boat and tank modes.(Requires 1 fuel and 1 action)
[4]The armadillo's engine isn't very fast but will keep functioning until it's heavily damaged (+2 speed, functions normal until heavy damage)
[4] Hyper-DIESAL isn't as common as other fuels but at least it's clean and safe. Ok not very clean but it won't eat your neighbourhood like that self replenishing algea fuel.( Cheap fuel)
[3] 40 cargo storage
[2] The fuel tank turns out to be rather small.(6/6 fuel)
[3] There's space for 2 crewmembers, including you(+1 fuel, 1/2 crew)

The Valkyrie

[1] The Valkyrie is hybrid transport, which means that it fails to be effective both on land as in the air.( Requires 2 fuel and 1 action to switch). (-2 speed)
[1] Sadly the engine is barely strong enough to keep it in the air. On top of that, the solar panels make the engines extra fragile.   (+1speed, fragile engines)
[4] At least the Gasoline fuel is quite easy to find, and not remarkably explosive.(cheap fuel)
[6] Your cargo hold turns out to be larger then expected. While you did decrease the size for increased mobility and speed, it comes at cost fuel storage.(50 cargo storage, +1 speed, +1 dodging, -1 fuel storage)
[1] Sadly, you doubt you'll be able to fit more than one person in here.(1/1 crew quarters)
[3]You get 7/7 fuel tanks)

Starrunner:

[5] The Starrunner is an agile stealth plane (+1 to dodge)
[1]Sadly it's seems that the delivered rocket engines are defective and very slow and unreliable(+1Speed)
[5]Luckly the starrunners Hydrogen fuel is both very cheap and very common(Very cheap fuel)
[3] You're already small cargobay is made even smaller by the need for speed(30 cargo bay, +1 speed
[5] You crew quarters are excellently designed, providing excellent lodgings for 4 crewmembers and extre cargo space(+10 cargo, 1/4 crew)
[5]Your fuel tanks are hypercooled, allowing them to store a lot of fuel.(9/9 fuel)

The Zyphyr cathedral:

[1] Sadly Zeppelins aren't know to be the most aerodynamic vehicles built in human history( -1 speed)
[3] The jet engines turn out to be mediocre at best.(+3 speed)
[6] You're airship runs on UltraKerosin, which is very cheap since it has been discredited in an international safety report three months ago.(+1 speed, very cheap fuel, explosive fuel)
[1] Your cargo bay is indeed quite large, sadly it's littered with supports, resulting in very few usable space(20 cargo bay)
[2]You can only hope to get 2 crewmembers in here)
[2] 6/6 fuel)

Starrunner

Roll 1: Automated thermite heat-seeking capable missiles, mostly for air-to-ground attacks but can also be Air-To-Air.
Roll 2: A automated gun that fires 500 2-inch ball bearings per shot, basically a massive shotgun. It has springs to keep the recoil down.
Roll 3: One turret on top and bottom of each wing, designed to fire in a 360 degree arc. They fire small rocket-propelled bullets with thermite cores.

His dream may or may not be the result of telepathy, alien tinkering or magical faries that are bored.

*looks at the rolls*

Well, fuck my luck.

Roll 1: Reroll robopincers;
Roll 2: Armoring everything, thick metal titanium reinforced plates! I must have armor!!!
Roll 3: A welding mask and welding instruments; multiple-use, just enough to get this monster to the end. (aka repair-kit)

No dodging roll ?
Dodging is a great way to escape damage.

I assume the smaller the ammo size the better, otherwise my ammo size of 2 for the torps after getting a roll of a 6 is a little harsh :P

Armour! Yes!

Armadillo

Roll 1: Thick, heavy steel covered by differing layers of ceramics. Takes some speed away for increased armour. Also, the armour is angled and cornered to make it particularly effective at glancing off ground attacks. However, it is not meant in any way to counter aerial attacks (or anything that fires up then down) (The vehicle itself has an open top so that the crew can get fresh air. Whilst defended horizontally, vertically it's completely undefended)

Roll 2: Point Defense. To counter aerial attacks, the Armadillo has miniature missiles and a targeting systems to counter bombs, missiles, rockets effectively, taking them out before reaching the Armadillo. Drawbacks are is that it uses ammo (a good roll will hopefully limit that problem :P) and does not counter artillery.

Roll 3: The Armadillo's old yet rugged approach means that it's easy to repair with lesser skills and equipment. To represent that, repairing is a free and automatic action that works at half ability without taking up crew actions, but also ensures there is no dodge roll if there was any. It's therefore possible to race - Repair normally - Repair Half Strength in one turn, but will automatically take hits. (If that's not a fair trade, or there is no dodge roll if there's not a dodge function, then have it take up a crew action aswell.)
The roll would determine the normal repair rate, and therefore, the halved repair rate.
(I realise this is a somewhat different approach, so I hope I've balanced it atleast a little.)

Two questions:

How does the accuracy roll work?  Is more sides on the die better or worse?

On my missile launcher- is that 15 missiles or 15 salvos?  The key point was multiple missiles in the air.  If it's just 15 missiles, how many are fired in a shot?

(Also, it's Punisher not Punishing (= )


Roll 1 (Armor):  Adaptive armor designed to withstand machine gun fire and energy weaponry.
Roll 2 (Dodge):  A blink warp system that temporarily phases out the craft to throw off tracking weapons and dodge heavy projectiles.
Roll 3 (Repair):  Nanobot canisters that are manually triggered, but can quickly repair armor, the hull, or any component of the system.


I'll certainly have to reroll the fuel and/or tanks at some point- expensive hard to find fuel plus poor storage is a nasty combination.

On ammo size: smaller is better. Ammo size is the amount of cargo space one shot takes up.  So your missille launcher fires a giant amount of misseles, in that it attacks every player within range with one shot and has superior targeting.

Accuracy is just used in Acc vs dodge roll.( so higher is better)

Okay, I gotcha- it's basically a very scary weapon that can rip the hell out of anyone near me, but I can only carry two reloads at the expense of anything else in storage.

Does the ammo in the tubes count as far as storage space (IE- if a salvo was loaded in the racks, could I carry two reloads for a total of three shots?)

Ammo loaded in the weapon counts towards the storage cap.
