If one of you kind gentlemen would point me in the direction of a medkit, i'll gladly do a card for it.

Second, after reading the interest in medkit, I thought about a damage control card for a ship or even spare parts on hand?

Finally, I was doing the Sentry Gun.  Yes I know it is a picture of an early Browning water cooled Machinegun.  So here is an updated version of the Sentry Gun and the Generic Auto Turrent.

When doing these cards, alot of information has to be condense or abbrevated to fit on the card, just like you did in your posts iggy.

Second concerning Plastiflesh and Antiseptic.  I can't find any information on the number of uses per can.  I used five uses as an example in my draft card.  another item is devices within each kit and their power consumption so we can add how many batteries each kit need and running time.

Finally you point out 500 nuts, claps and bolts in the Techkit, That seems a bit excessive and 500 tiny boxs would take up an entire sheet.  We either need to rethink this or delete it all together.

I need input on these questions before going any further.

I understand the thing about house rules.  We all have them.

I never did the point system with the Plastiflesh, it was always usage.  One spray one wound.  Larger wounds more sprays or cans.  "Tis was only a flesh wound",  there is a box of kiddy bandages at the general store waiting for you or "Suck it up soldier!"

Medkit were only to be used by doctors or paramedics (high level characters or NPC).  First aid kits were more common and used by the Rambo's and ninja wantabee that played with me.  If you ended up in a hospital or in an ambulance then you might see one.

Techkit and Robo Kits were usually combined into one and found onboard their ships.  Since electronics and mechanical issues were more likely to take place there.  Spare parts were in the ship's storage area. The guys who like to tinker might have there very own but most PC were interested in weapons and new survival tech.  Plot hooks required questions like, "when was the last time the batteries were changed?" and "Joe just dropped the field scanner for the fifth time?"  Wear and tear is need on the equipment as well.

I'll have to scround around and find the medical article in the Magazine.

I won't be able to do it today because of a birthday party.

So we Need your INPUT on this...

First thing, life has once more intruded in to my alloted time for the cards.

Iggy:  I thought about first aid pouches and came up with the idea of auto injector instead of hypo-sprays.  Based on my life expereience in the military, auto injectors are one time items, there would be no need for hypo-sprays since they would be disposable.  Other than that, I haven't had time to research the information.

TeriObar:  I would like your input on how to proceed with the publication of these cards into a single PDF.  I am also aware that there might be a need to index them with the magazine or create (cut, copy and paste) a decription section in said PDF which cover the weapons depicted on the cards.

The Pulse Rifle from Aliens.  If the community wants that included in these cards, I don't have a problem making a card out.  I just feel these cards should deal with Star Froniters material and not imported material, at this time.  Perhaps a supliment could be made covering such items could come later.  I know that Star Frontierman magazine just covered conversion of SF weapons, so I think we can hold off on those until a later date.

I have now come across two weapons which should be seen as seperate weapons.  The Sentry Gun and the Tangler Gun.  In the case of the Sentry Gun, we have one which is programed by the person deploying the weapon and it can be used as a stand alone gun turret (as per optional rules). In the same desciption it talks about a generic Sentry Gun which players might come across during an adventure (GAT stands for Generic Auto Turret.).  That is why I can up with two seperate drawings for the same weapon. The reason is quite simple, both weapons are basically the same but can be used in different situations. It allows the GM to us the GAT in adventures where installations have auto turrets defending the perimeter or inside the building.  While the Sentry Gun can be used as a point defense system by the players giving them a chance to have an extra weapon at their camp.

The Tangler Gun depicted in the magazine is a revolver style weapon.  In the weapon's description however it talks about an automatic version and a manual one.  The Auto version talks of a Powerclip used to recharge the pneumatic firing system while also saying it can be manually operated to charge the system.  I like the idea of both weapons and seperated them into two distinct weapons.

Of course, I need to do the write up on both of these weapons.

I'm hoping you will see the logic behind my decisions and seek your input on these changes.
