New weapon/systems

Systems

Optical camouflage - a mobile suit equipped with this system can project a holographic image that allows the suit to blend into its surroundings to avoid visual detection. The system is not an active cloak like mirage colloid requiring the mobile suit to stay still while the system is active. When the suit moves the optical camouflage reveals the suit to the naked eye.

Prism Particle Coating - often refereed as the poor mans mirage colloid. The prism particle coating is applied directly to the suit similar to anti beam coating. The coating bends light around the suit making it invisible to the naked eye. The colloid though only works when light is present, and when the mobile suit is hit the coating is worn off of the suit. cannot be combined with mirage colloid, or anti beam coating or any type of phase shift.

ECM "Hyper Jammer" - a stealth system that jams enemy electronics. This makes a mobile suit equipped with it invisible to visual sensors and radar.

Power Extender - improves a mobile suits energy storage capacity. Effectively doubling the operation time of a mobile suit/armor equipped with it. Can only be used on mobile suits that use batteries. Can not be used with reactor powered suits. Doubles the amount of turns a battery operated suit can last in the field.

Pack Delivery System - a system that allows a ship to deliver packs to a mobile suit via a pack flyer. Once the pack is delivered to the mobile suit the flyer returns to the ships hangar.

Lancer Dart Clip - stores an additional three lancer darts, which can be mounted to a single hard point.

Weapons

Hi-cold Shotel - similar to the heat shotel. Instead of super heating the blade an intense cold is generated instead. Causes the enemies armor to become brittle allowing it to be destroyed easier.

Trikeros - a shield which mounts a beam rifle/beam saber also can attach lancer darts similar to a grenade launcher. beam rifle/beam saber can not be used underwater. Lancer darts must be brought separately. lancer darts can be used under water if mounted to this weapon.

lets see.

The first three are nothing more then different forms of mirage colloid, and honestly, I don't see why we would need multiples of the same system that is only changed slightly.


Power extender, see the deteurium beam system, and extended capacity batteries for now.

for the pack delivery system it might come in later, since we will have more technology added as the game progresses

lancer dart clip, eh I don't know about that, since if you read the weapon itself you can buy additional darts for it.

as for the high cold shotel, it seems more like a double edged sword as it would make the weapon it is on extremely brittle.

trikeros, is a all in one system that can be made on the hardpoints if you purchase the weapons yourself. Honestly I think it was a mistake for it to be given a name in seed, as it was little more then all the machines weapons bundled into a single location for easy of use with the grappling claw on Blitz's left arm.

To further expand on the idea for a Cold Shotel, because of the sheer amount of thermodynamic temperature difference to cause freezing of an enemy suit to such an extent, the weapon in question would have to become unreasonably cold, the way it's currently conveyed. To such an extent, as Bry mentioned, that it would render a blade useless beyond measure, and would shatter like glass.

A viable alternative, however, albeit not in blade form, would be a grenade system of delivery. Essentially, storage containers designed to house liquid nitrogen that are capable of contact-detonation, or even timed-detonation, that would explode and shower whatever it comes in contact with/is near in the liquid nitrogen. It would severely cripple any metal it came in contact with, weakening the integrity of armor, and/or metal weaponry.

Naturally, it could be assumed that the high energy yielded through plasma/beam technology would render it useless, as the extreme temperature incline would return the nitrogen to a gaseous state before it could disrupt the field. Presumably, on contact.

Side Note: As far as I'm aware, Liquid Helium stays cooler and acts quicker than Liquid Nitrogen, but since this is a Gundam RP board, I figure it's safe to assume that we could honestly probably just call whatever gets released a "super-coolant chemical."

I see what you guys mean on the weapons. Have you ever considered using the defense rod, sonic/plasma blade and sonic sword from the Gundam 00 series ? I know this isn't the topic to bring it up in, but the Geschmeidig Panzer system says it is unusable underwater. Is there a particular reason for this, because the Forbidden Blue, Forbidden Vortex and Deep Forbidden all use it as a type of pressure hull.

defense rod is little more then a different shaped shield. the sonic weapons are little more then vibrating solid weapons, which only help cutting ability a small amount. as for the plasma blade, if you do the research on beam weaponry, you find out it is made of super heated, and condensed plasma.

On to the next part, survey says, I think the designers are wrong. Personally I think the forbidden series of mobile suits used it's Trans-Phase Shift Armor to protect itself from the water depths, however they would implode when their batteries died, earning them the nickname Forbidden Coffins, not the canon listing. It wasn't till the Deep Forbidden that they installed a true pressure hull, and stopped them from imploding. Though MAHQ my say the Geschmeidig Panzer system was used for pressurization in my opinion had nothing to do with it. It might have added underwater movement, but considering it's primary usage was deflecting beams, I think the rest of it was bunk they came up with to cover short comings in technical plotting.

The better usage of sonic weaponry would be in a projectile, like a torpedo. The projectile launched and digs into it
s target, releases its warhead, which is a compressed sonic disruptor, and interfere's with the su[erstructure of the target.

Aside from that, I think we need to develop phonon-equivilant versions of melee weaponry for commercial use, not just as prototype use. If the projectile weapons work, they can be harnessed to work as a melee weapon, or, used alternatively as a phonon shield.

After reading some of the Efreet Nacht data I think I've come up with some new weapons.

Cold blade - A anti-armor sword that was created on the principle of the heat tentacle. Its name comes from the fact the blade itself does not heat up like a heat saber. Powered by an internal built battery, the weapon delivers and electric shock when it comes into contact with an enemy mobile weapon. The shock is strong enough to disable an enemy mobile weapon. Due to its solid blade it can be used underwater.

Cold Kunai - Based off the kunai used by Ninja. This anti armor weapon can deliver a disabling electric shock to an enemy mobile weapon on contact. The weapon only has enough charge for one application, before the weapon must be returned to the recharge rack.
