Trying to find an image of the armor from S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks

Denarr

First Post
I am looking for a decent sized image of the armor presented in the original S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, preferably at least 1000 pixels high.
It would be best if I could get the full module, with art...so even a link to an appropriate site, or page would be helpful.
I've found a site that supposedly has the full S3 module, but I'd really hate to shell out money for what might end up being a really lousy version of the module without pics, there being no preview or samples of the download the sight offers.
Since what I'm essentially looking for is an image of the armor, I thought this would be the most appropriate forum in which to post my request.
PM's, direct image postings, or even emails would be greatly appreciated.

How's this?

(I have the original module and just scanned this)

That will do nicely, thank you.
It's the closest thing I've found since I lost my original.
I'm trying to reconstruct a character I've had since 1979, and ended up losing to a crazy lady two years ago. (At least Kender steal for a reason.)

I don't suppose you could slap some stats up for it, could you?
All I remember is it's AC 0, antigrav, 50 HP forcefield that regenerates @ 1HP/round, atmosphere/radiation detection, vacuum safe, has 50 HP of its own, Move = 6"/? (flight), 90% invisible to infrared, and has the laser that does AC+1d4 dmg, with some chance of ruining a limb...
The original armor was modified for a four armed character, and then later enchanted, but I still need the base stats.
I can wait...it doesn't look like I'll get to play D&D again in the forseeable future...but I thought I'd ask, anyway. ;)

Astala...

Sorry about the delay... work was hectic this week. Haven't powered up the home computer in 6 days. That's a record for me!!

AC0, Move 6" = 1" (clear hop in any direction possible)
Force Shield: 50hp dmg before shutting down, restored @ 1 hp/rnd
HP of armor: 50
Power: equals 18/00 STR in grasping/lifting, anti-grav as per belt
Weaponry: Laser pistol built into right arm (fired by chin lever), same specs as normal pistol.

Leaving out the description...

Completely sealed, will withstand vacuum or pressure equal to 1000' of water. Air system provides oxygen for 8 hours continuous use, recharging 1 hour per hour of non-use. No gasses or viral contaminants can enter the suit.

When force shield at 0, damage taken by armor. When armor reaches 0 non-functional in all systems. Damage beyond that point sustained by wearer.

Anti-grav system allows weightlessness, float up/down 2" per rnd, with 500lb additional weight limit. Functions for 6 turns (3 if carrying extra weight) of continuous use. For each round of operation must recharge 1 turn. Blinking lights warn of pending power outage when 1 turn remains. If fails, falls, but reserve charge prevents damage to wearer, but armor takes damage equal to 50% of its remaining hp.

Has built-in atmosphere analysis equipment, readout panel above vision area. Built-in language translators. Hearing is 200% human normal, infravision 12". Suit screened to be 90% invisible to infravision.

Wearer of suit not subject to normal fatigue, can operation continually up to 8 hours. Does not use power discs. Only rechargeable at specialized terminals (none of which are on this part of the ship).
 

And for the Laser Pistol:

Range: S=4", M=8", L=12"
Area of Effect: Thin beam
Power Disc Drain: 1/2 per use
Rate of Fire: 2/round
Damage: 2-16 + AC of target creature
Save: S=-8, M=-4, L=normal; no damage

Sv vs Petrification for each shot. Each hit not saved against has 10% chance of damaging a member: 1=head (dead!), 2-3=arm/foremember (useless until healed), 4-8=leg or rear member (also useless until healed). A laser beam will cut through 1" of bulkhead or deck metal along a 1' path each time it is aimed and fired at short range. 6" steel or 1' iron along a 1' line. Negative AC reduces damage. Dexterity is excluded for AC calculation.
 


Thanks, Phaedrus this'll give me a lot to work with, next time I'm feeling nostalgic.

Thanks, Piratecat I'll have to take a look at that, in case I ever get allowed into a game with a 12th level 4 armed AD&D Gamma World Mutant Alien with (heavily) enchanted Power Armor and his assorted unique and unusual gear.

[Edit] Then again, if Vorpal Bunny's conversion of the Armor is anything like the Laser Pistol conversion, I think I'll take my chances with the DM.
Or did you have a different conversion in mind. (I didn't see one.)
