A radar sensor system grants a +2 equipment bonus on the operator's Navigate and Spot checks against aerial targets. With a successful Computer Use check (DC 15) and a move action, the operator can use the sensor system to actively scan a single nonliving aerial target and determine all the following information about the target:The target's sizeThe target's locomotive capabilitiesThe target's present direction or trajectory.Equipment Slots: 1Activation: Move action (active scan mode only)Range: 10 mile radius emanation centered on your mechaArea: 1 nonliving target (active scan only)Duration: Persistent (passive scan mode) or 1 round (active scan mode)Saving Throw: NonePurchase DC: 18Restriction: none[HR][/HR]Jump Jets (PL5)Jump jets come with pre-loaded reservoir of chemicals that power thrusters giving the mecha a limited jump capability. While this cannot offer true flight, it does allow mecha to "jump" onto rooftops or over larger barriers. Jump jets provide a vertical "jump" of 100 feet. Can be used 5 times before requiring a refueling. Equipment Slots: 1 must be Back, Shoulders, or bootsActivation: noneRange: PersonalTarget: youDuration: 1 roundSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 14, refueling costs PDC 9Restriction: none[HR][/HR]Detachable External PodsA detachable external pod is a piece of equipment or weaponry mounted on the outside of the mecha instead of inside as an integral part of the mecha. Each external pod imposes a -5 feet penalty to the mecha's speed and decreases flight maneuverability by one category.Every attack against the mecha has a 15% chance to damage an external pod. Each pod generally has a hardness of 5 and 20 hit points. When a pod is destroyed so is the equipment inside. Pods can be ejected as a free action, which remove the penalties added by that pod.Most pods are unpowered except for special purpose ones. Pods have an equivalent space of about one slot each normally. Pods built for ammunition must be attached to the same area as the weapon they are meant to supply.ECM PodThe ECM pod is used to jam and disrupt enemy communications and sensors. The enemy pilot must make an opposed attack roll vs the defender's base defense plus his Computer Use skill bonus to target the mecha. If the attacker fails he cannot target the ECM equipped mecha this round.Equipment Slots: NoneActivation: Move actionRange: personalTarget: youDuration: persistentSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 28Restriction: Military (+3)Grapple/Winch PodThis pod is an integrated grapple gun and attached winch motor. The winch can pull most large mecha and small vehicles. This pod is often used by special forces as its less flashy and noisy than a jetpack. Civilian Search and Rescue also use the grapple/winch pod on SAR mecha. A successful ranged attack will attach the grapple. The strength of the winch is the same as the mecha it is attached to. The winch has 200 feet of chain.Equipment Slots: noneActivation: attack actionRange: 200 feetTarget: youDuration: persistentSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 10Restriction: noneRecon PodRecon pods are a set of cameras, sensors and the devices to record the data collected. Used on reconnaissance missions they can be added to any type of mecha though they are usually placed on small stealthy mecha.Equipment Slots: noneActivation: attack actionRange: 1 mile, line of sightArea: 1 target (passive/active)Duration: persistent (passive scan mode) or 1 round (active scan mode)Saving Throw: nonePurchase DC: as per sensors +2Weapon PodWeapons can be taken in pods and follow all the rules for pods. When a weapon pod runs out of ammunition or becomes damaged it can be dropped thereby increasing the speed of the mecha. This allows more internal space for mecha to carry other equipment. Weapons will have only 3/4 of what an integrated weapon has. Equipment Slots: NoneActivation: per weaponRange: per weaponTarget: per weaponDuration: per weaponSaving Throw: per weaponPurchase DC: per weapon +2Restriction: per weaponBuoyancy PodThis pod provides buoyancy for underwater exploration or combat, allowing the mecha to ascend and descend in water, much like the ballast tanks on a submarine. If the pod is damaged for some reason, the mecha may ascend or descend out of control until the pod is repaired.Equipment Slots: noneActivation: move actionTarget: youDuration: PersistentSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 27Restriction: noneParachute PodThe Parachute pod allows mecha to be dropped into inaccessible locations. The pilot needs to make a DC 15 piloting role to remain upright when the mecha lands or ben knocked prone.Equipment Slots: noneActivation: attack actionTarget: youDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 14Restriction: Licensed (+1)[HR][/HR]Small Manipulator ArmsThese small versions of the mecha's basic arms usually attached to the chest to help with moving or loading standard size loads rather than industrial size loads which is what the regular arms are for. The small manipulator arms can also be used to load patients into medical pods and carry small amounts of cargo. Small manipulator arms only gives a +4 Strength bonus to the Pilot's Strength.Equipment Slots: 1, must be torsoActivation: free actionRange: personalTarget: youDuration: PersistentSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 10 + one quarter the mecha's base purchase DCRestriction: none[HR][/HR]Extensor Gauntlets (PL 6)Extensor gauntlets use advanced robotics and a series of ingenious ‘stacked’ concentric metal and plastic armor plates to extend the pilot’s reach several yards farther than normal. The pilot’s gloved hand seems to ‘ratchet’ out from his arm, extending on a flexible metal tendril.With this enhancement the pilot can choose to extend the reach of one (or both hands, if both are equipped with this enhancement) in 10 ft increments, up to a maximum of 50 ft reach. However, each 10 ft reach improvement carries with it a –2 penalty to all attack rolls and skillchecks made with that hand due to the relative clumsiness of the robotic manipulator. Due to this same clumsiness, though the pilot can choose to attack foes up to 50 ft away with a melee attack, he or she doesn’t ‘threaten’ those squares, nor can the pilot make any more attacks ofopportunity than normal.
