You don't need help. Your friend does. The SEED series is an abomination, and it should have been burned as soon as it left the presses/animators. I for one am getting damn tired of Gundam series pretending to be hard sci-fi with one or two toys that just happen to rewrite all the laws of physics. Right now, I want to tackle some spaceships. I'm doing an Imperial star destroyer right now, just for the fun of it. . . Did you know that they have 64 main guns? This is getting crazy. . . it's just so much bigger and more advance than everything else. 192000 hp. That will ruin your game. *wanders off grumbling*marcoasalazarm said:

I know that a lot of the stuff is overkill, but it's my setting. There's phase-shift armor in those things? There's teleporting bullets in the D20 Future rulebook, dammit! THAT should counter that!
And I ain't talking about translating the WHOLE DAMN THING. He just wants the race and the factions (which is enough).
And well... in any case, that was a trip, but I can't say that it's a lousy trip. He's the guy who helped me with most of my conversions. Occasionally, yeah, it's crazy to work with him, but I cannot say that he doesn0t has good ideas... occasionally.

First note: Here is an interesting 'Super Robot Wars' fanfic I'd like to share:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/863667/1/
SECOND:
In the South Pacific, an island formed after 23 hours-the fabled fic-island of Dinotopia. Despite the storms around the island, some advanced technological equipment could reach the island. The sentient dinosaurs of the island were shocked to hear of some of the normal dinosaurs outside of the island lacking sentience. Some even went as far as to leave their home and attempt (and fail) to "educate" the dinosaurs in other locations such as Isla Sorna and Nublar. The following are some of the species of dinosaurs from Dinotopia.
Topian Deinonychus
Unlike other deinonychus, this sentient species eats only fish and communes often with humans. They usually don't go to the outside world, preferring to remain on Dinotopia. Those that meet non-island deinonychus, they will revert into nonsentience (see stats in chapter 8 of the Core Rulebook) in a matter of weeks of running with the pack before they succumb to their hunter's nature.
Species Traits
Type: Magical beast.
Size: Large.
Ability Modifiers: +2 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence.
Unarmed Attacks: A Topian deinonychus has the unarmed attacks of its animal cousins (see deinonychus entry in the CR), but can't use them all at once. They are all seperate attacks.
Primitive Handling: Topian deinonychus can only handle archaic and simple weapons as well as exotic melee weapons. Attempting to use any other weapons leads in a -4 to attack rolls.
Call of the Hunt: If a Topian deinonychus spends more than 10 days with a pack of nonsentient deinonychus immediately loses its class levels, languages, and equipment, and gains the stats of a normal deinonychus (detailed in chapter 8 of the CR).
Bonus Feat and Feat Alteration: Topian Deinonychus gain the bonus feat Archaic Weapons Proficiency. They also consider Ekros pikes archaic weapons instead of exotic ones.
Free Languages: Read/Write Dinotopian Footprint Signs and Speak Carnos (carnivorous dino language).
LA: +2.
Topian Protoceratops
The protoceratops of Dinotopia are the local lingo masters. They learn how to talk the talk with other species, be they human, alien, or dinosaur. Topian protoceratops may not be able to hold objects but they are quite good at using their beak for things other than talking if the need arises.
Species Traits
Type: Magical beast.
Size: Medium.
Ability Modifiers: -2 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom.
Natural Attack: The Topian protoceratops can bite with its beak, dealing 1d8 damage. This is helpful since protos are quadrupedal and cannot hold weapons.
Beak Carry: A Topian protoceratops can pick up and carry something up to 3 size Tiny objects in its mouth. While doing so it cannot speak or bite.
Free Language Skills: Read/Write Dinotopian Footprint Signs and Speak Ceratopsian and one other language. Do to the fact that footprint stamping is all they can do, Topian protoceratops cannot write any other languages but can learn to read them.
LA: +1.
New Weapon: Ekros Pike
Named after a deinonychus named Ekros, these pikes are often used by deinonychus guards or as ceremonial items.
Ekros Pike

STREET SAMURAI ADVANCED CLASS
Street Samurai are more than mere grunts with a gun. Their expertise is not in causing damage, but in surviving to cause it. They are preternaturally alert, never surprised, and always cool. Whereas a soldier’s specialty is honed to a fine point in combat, a street samurai’s fine-point specialty is combat- they understand its flow, its rhythm, and its timing. To a street samurai, the act of firing a weapon is final, but everything which leads up to that point is crucial.
Select this advanced class if you want your character to be more than just a well-rounded combat expert, but an expert on combat. It combines melee and ranged weapon expertise, preparing the street samurai for whatever comes his way.
The fastest path into this advanced class is from the Fast hero basic class, though other paths are possible.

....as a result of which potential problem, the Round Table Council of Waterfall City recently authorised the mass import of a single metatech item: Upload matrices w/ brainwave/DNA specific security locks.

Possessing the longest strike laser claws on any zoid, making its hands massive slashing weapons, Bunkerbust models its organic counterpart therizinosaurus closely. It's name is fitting and makes a lot of sense when you see one bashing into your base. Bunkerbusts are usually military assault zoids but are sometimes modified to function in zoid battle constests, something that they excel in. These bipedal monsters are common sights in the Chinese military, who see the zoid's design as a proud representation of the ancient past. Any seasoned zoid battler will tell you than when a Bunkerbust opens its mouth you know to run.

The ZPD (Zoid Police Department) are not the only police forces to utilize mechs, but they are the only one to use nothing else but zoid mechs. When the criminals are extremely dangerous, they are the ones to call. The ZPD has branches in nearly every country with cities and will take jobs from apprehending criminals in mechs robbing the bank to stopping a half-fiend from taking over the local city hall. All zoids used by the ZPD have the police paint job.
Zoid Merc Guild
Agenda: Support zoid mercenaries and give them contact information and supplies.
Structure: Freelance zoid pilots-for hire that join teams with the right paycheck.
Symbol: A sniper rifle crosshairs.
Most Common Allegiances: Zoid Mercenary Guild, money, current team.
Requisition Limit: 49 (military).
These mercenaries work for any zoid team willing to pay them the amount they want, usually joining whatever team comes to them with the highest offer if there are more than one at a time. Heroes that are good enough with a zoid can join up with the Guild if they wish to.
Merc Guild Card: This license of sorts is a card given to every member of the Zoid Merc Guild upon joining. This card allows them to use mechs with equipment with a military restriction despite not being in the military.

Possessing the longest strike laser claws on any zoid, making its hands massive slashing weapons, Bunkerbust models its organic counterpart therizinosaurus closely.

Bunkerbusts are usually military assault zoids but are sometimes modified to function in zoid battle constests, something that they excel in.

This I had to search all over the Wizards threads, but since I just managed to see the movie version, I thought "What the Hell".
"The Infinite Improbability Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing interstellar distances in a few seconds; without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace. As the Improbability Drive reaches infinite improbability, it passes through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe almost simultaneously. In other words, you're never sure where you'll end up or even what species you'll be when you get there. It's therefore important to dress accordingly. The Infinite Improbability Drive was invented following research into finite improbability which was often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules in the hostess' undergarments leap one foot simultaneously to the left in accordance with the theory of indeterminacy. Many respectful physicists said they wouldn't go to stand for that sort of thing, partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sort of parties."-from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.
Infinite Improbability Drives (PL 8)
This particular type of Engine uses Improbability Physics to run. When you activate them and you are moving, you are actualy passing through EVERY POINT in the Universe. Just remember that, in order to do what they do, they do the unthinkable-like turn planets into a pie, or incoming nuclear warheads into sperm whales.
So it is of notice that this FTL Drive (which is, quite simply, the most illegal drive out there, PERIOD), has the following inscription on a small tag on its side:
"WARNING: Due to the unpredictable nature of this drive, using it on military ships is not recommended.
-PS: Civilian ships probably shouldn't use it either.
-PPS: Actually, using it period is a bad idea, equivalent to checking a full gas tank with your lighter."
Minimum Ship Size: Gargantuan.
Tactical Speed Bonus: +2,000 (+6 Squares)
Purchase DC: 15 + one Half of the Starship´s base purchase DC.
Restriction: ILLEGAL (+4, and probably getting shot by anybody who finds out you have it).
(ADDITIONAL NOTE: Having an Improbability Drive onboard a ship is simply GM Fiat Land waiting to happen. Eevry time the Improbability Drive is activated, the GM must roll once in any Random table he has available-encounters, Gear, whatever. They'll appear on the ship, a character will transform (temporarily) into them, whatever).
Now, all I need is to figure out what kind of bonus can you obtain from consulting the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy....

marcoasalazarm said:Just expanding somewhat more on the setting with the following newsclip (running in the Coreline CNN or something):
"This photograph shows a mixture of conventional armored forces and Mecha advancing across desert terrain. The exact location of where this picture was taken is unknown, as well as the exact nationality of the forces (although they had been identified by this network as Russian T-51s and Zaku-class Mobile Suits, pressumably from the Universal Century Gundamverses). Shortly before the time of this edition's closure, we recieved word from the LaGrange Colonies that a large number of Mobile Suits in their arsenal had been stolen by forces unknown..."
Following this, a friend of mine managed to find in the local Manga shop (also rental service) this series, "Gundam SEED". And now he wants me to try and add ZAFT, the Orb Union and the Coordinator race to this mess.
I need help, SEVERE help. All I personally know abot "Gundam SEED" is that those ZAFT uniforms make interesting Cosplay material.
EDIT: NOW I have a couple of ideas!!!!
*The reason why Chernobyl is now clean enough to reliably host a Zoid arena is because a Neutron Jammer was used in the cleanup operation. Immediately after that, the governments in Coreline Earth ordered any companies producing the Jammers to produce Jammers only to them and produce, as well, a large number of Jammer Nullifiers.
*The Orb Union and Sanq Kingdom are allies (hell, the Orb Union that is on Coreline Earth is actually one and the same! Inspiration: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2918236/1/ ). Morgenroete is severely reduced in power next to its canon counterpart, but what it produces is severely powerful (enough to blow away a Gundam!).
Recheck your picture those are U.S manufactured M-60s need to look closer for which model.

Oh. Didn't knew that (they looked like T-51s to me). Thanks for the noticing, and I've already done the correction.
