Yup. I will be gone from the 11th to the 19th, and I am unsure how much posting I will be able to do, so lets try and get something done this week.

The lieutenant that's been assigned to us - how is he and his team kitted out? Same weapons and armor as us?

No, they have slightly lower grade armour, no sidearms, and standard blaster rifles.

They have some grenades, but they are standard military. You guys are the commandos.

Craig, do you have equip lists for our personal gear? I have not had a chance to go through all my lists to see what is current or not. I may have some time tonight, but I thought I would see if you have anything.

You can borrow some of the goodies Niil's been collecting, like his scoped AP blaster rifle . . .  >:D

You've got your vibro-sword and armor, anything else you carry would just be ornamental :)

Trax's is good to go, he's got a number of medpacks, his pistols, rifles, armor and enough power packs to power a small city :)

Actually, Craig, would having a rifle (or two) slung over his shoulder interfere with the operation of the jet pack?  Or would it be more along the lines of using the jet pack would melt the rifles? :)

No, the output from the jetpack is actually offset a fair bit, slinging a rifle would be fine. 2 rifles would be too much.

I think he's working on a way to mount a concussion missile launcher to his jetpack.

As for the weapons I'd carry for personal use, I'd take one of my heavy blaster pistols for a sidearm.  As for my longarm, I'd like some feedback here.  Should I use the blaster rifle, or my AP blaster rifle?  The AP rifle only does 3D damage, but it bypasses armor.

I'm wondering if the AP rifle (3D damage, bypasses armor) would be more useful against armored opponents than a standard blaster rifle (5D damage).  If an average suit of armor has 1D vs. energy, it will stop 1-6 pts. of damage, right? In that case the blaster rifle would be better.  Now, if I run into something/someone that has more than 1D vs. energy, the AP rifle would be great.

Hmmm . . .

Yeah, I think I'll take my AP blaster rifle in addition to my heavy blaster pistol.

Your not (planning) on facing stormtroopers here. These will be Imperial Army regulars, with blast vests and the like and Intel troopers with relatively light armour.
