Questions of HG

Gatsby

SOC-12
1) If ship is 100 tons, armor (a) is value zero, and formula says (for example) 1+1a as percentage of ship, is Armor 0 = 1 ton ( I assume it is hull structure)? Or is it negated due to no armor?

2) Can you have more than one spinal mount?

3) What is the rate, in KL per hour, that a Fuel Purification Plant processes?

4) HG says that each weapon in a mixed wepon turret (allowed only for tons < 1000) is it's own battery. If I put two lasers and a sandcaster, do I have two laser batteries and one sandcaster battery, mandatory?

0 armor = 0 tons.

No.

I don't see this covered anyplace. I use 12 - 24 hours to purify a full load depending on source of the raw materials.

I would require grouping of the same type of weapon in a single turret as one battery. Thus you would have a laser battery with two weapons and a sandcaster battery with one weapon. I usually go with the balanced scheme of one each laser, missile, and sand on small ships.

------------------
I am increasingly of the opinion that RPGs are by the nature of their creation subjective phenomenon. due to the interaction between game designers, game masters, and game players all definitions, rules, settings, and adventures are mutable in acordance with the uncertainty principle as expounded by Heisenburg. This is of course merely my point of view.
