Topic: Offensive Rating

Christopher and myself have been calculating this in a different way.

I started off by the book with each weapon OR as:
Weapon HP cost x (Weapon Range + Unit MP) (x2 if External tubes or Hand held)

I was informed that the intention was to add the Unit equipment OR so it became:
(Weapon HP cost x (Weapon Range + Unit MP) (x2 if External tubes or Hand held)) + Unit Equipment OR

Christopher has at the moment:
(Weapon HP cost x (Weapon Range + Unit MP)) + Unit Equipment OR (x2 if External tubes or Hand held)

Which, if any of these will be in version 2 of the book?

Re: Offensive Rating

The book currently states that the Offensive Rating for each weapon is

Weapon Hard Point Cost x (Weapon Range + unit MP). Add the offensive rating modifier for each enhancement.  Ballistic weapon External Tubes and Hand Carried weapon offensive ratings are double their computed value.

Total the number of weapons to get the unit Offensive Rating.

Christopher has it right.

Re: Offensive Rating

Ta.
Can we please have plain English in version 2.
Add the Offensive rating modifier for each enhancement could mean.
1. Offensive rating modifier (enhancements) for this weapon.
2. Offensive rating modifier for this weapon and Unit Equipment Offensive modifiers.
3. Offensive rating modifier for all weapons and Equipment enhancements.

(I must admit that on the first version I used the first and added the unit OR to the total of the weapons ORs.)
Thanks
Paul

Re: Offensive Rating

:?  Considering that only equipment has Offensive or Defensive Rating Modifiers...

Unit has: Enhanced Sensor (L2); +2 Off. Rat. Mod.
C3 System; +4 Off. Rat. Mod.
Aerial Mod. Jet Assisted Flight; +4 Off. Rat. Mod.


Weapon 1- HP Cost of 5 x (range 9 + 5) +2 +4 +4= A
Weapon 2- HP Cost of 2 x (range 3 +5) +2 +4 +4= B
Weapon 3- HP Cost of 2 x (range 3 +5) +2 +4 +4= C
__________________________________________
Total Offensive Rating= A+B+C

I can't make it any plainer than that :!:

Re: Offensive Rating

You had me wondering there.

Extra Magazine page 47

Yup...and that may be under valued since it relates to hand carried weapons. wink
