It's all about the Invid
Anybody have any interest in doing a conversion of the bad guys of the third season?

Cool. My thanks 
. I finally found a copy off the Poly... My FLGS doesn't carry it and I had to scrounge one up at the bookstore. Looks like a neat minigame .

Re: Veritech
Great work on the conversion, my first thought on picking up this issue was doing a robotech conversion too.
One problem with using the Robotech rpg as conversion source material: Palladium books is nazi about preventing any and all conversions of their material to D20 online. It's sad, a lot of their material is really cool and I'd love to see people keeping it alive, even if that means porting it over to D20.
Not trying to rain on your thread, just trying to save Morrus the headache of a C&D letter from Palladium.

Re: Re: Veritech
Though now that I think about it, since the actual rights to robotech belong to Harmony Gold or whoever, you can probably avoid the mess by just neglecting to mention that you material used Palladium's Robotech books as a source.
I've never heard of Harmony Gold (or whoever it is that actually holds the Robotech/Macross copyrights now) squashing fan sites or derivative work as long as you aren't distributing their actual material, so IMO taking Palladium out of the equation would solve the problem.
The same logic would apply to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles material, since that's not Palladiums IP originally, but if you want to post Rifts conversions, well, you're on your own
EDIT Sorry to hijack your thread, some good stuff here. I'll shut up now

New Mecha Crusade Component (conversion really)
Here's a new component that I converted from Battletach for any Mecha Crusade or Dragonstar campaign.
Cheers!
KF72
-----------------------------------------
AM-55 Shield defense system
Slots: 1 for launcher, must be hand (or arm if Large) or shoulder; 1 for each 4-missle battery
Cost: 4,000 bp for launcher, 100 bp per missile
Activation: Special (see text)
Range Increment: Special (see text)
Target: Special (see text)
Duration: Special (see text)
Saving Throw: None (or Reflex half)
This modified version of the M-55 Talon missile launcher is designed for defense purposes only. When launched, the missiles grant a +2 to your Defense (or Armor Class *) vs. ranged weapon attacks per missile fired per round. Once the system is activated (requires an attack action), the Shield defense system can defend every round that it is active and the pilot only need decide how many missiles to fire that round (doesn't need to reactivate the system every round). This continues until the system is either destroyed or runs out of missiles.
However, the Shield defense system doesn't have the same range increment as a Talon missile launcher (only 400 m) and isn't an effective offensive weapon. If used to target enemy aircraft or airborne mecha the system's specialized missiles have an attack penalty of -5 **. The missiles also don't have the same kind of plasma yield dealing only 8d6 points of damage on a successful hit. Enemy aircraft or airborne mecha targeted by the Shield defense system may make a reflex save (DC 15) to only take half damage.
* I'm using Armor Class for my Dragonstar campaign.
** The system cannot target ground forces at all.
