Growth Factor is how much additional space you get as you 'level up' your machine; machines with 0 growth levels are generally fairly bargain-basement models, older types that are distinctly inferior, with more sophisticated (or simply larger!) machines having 1, 2 or more expansions.

Building A Robot

This could get long. Some example stats follow. Anything in bold has a defined effect but I'm too lazy to write out how it works just yet. Trust me on this.


Interceptor (transatmospheric fighter)

A 22nd century aerospace fighter
Speed 10, Agility 7, Evasion 5, Armor 0, 4 Hits
Component Space: 8
Hull Growth Factor: 4
External Carriage: 8
External Carriage Growth Factor: 2

Heavy Fighters (space fighter)

A a boxy space fighter
Speed 7, Agility 5, Evasion 4, Armor 6, 4 Hits
Component Space: 12
Hull Growth Factor: 4
External Carriage: 12
External Carriage Growth Factor: 2

Combat Frame

The standard mobile suit frame
Speed 5, Agility 5, Evasion 4, Armor 6, 4 Hits
Component Space: 12
Hull Growth Factor: 4
External Carriage: 12
External Carriage Growth Factor: 2

Assault Frame

A slower but more robust mobile suit design
Speed 4, Agility 4, Evasion 3, Armor 10, 4 Hits
Component Space: 12
Hull Growth Factor: 4
External Carriage: 12
External Carriage Growth Factor: 2

Mobile Armor

Not very moe at all
Speed 4, Agility 2, Evasion 2, Armor 7, 8 Hits
Batch Size: Individual
Component Space: 40
Hull Growth Factor: 8
External Carriage: 10
External Carriage Growth Factor: 2
Every hull expansion reduces Evasion by 1
May add 1 extra level of shielding
May use Ship-list weapons
All Craft-list direct-fire weapons gain ROF 4


Component Space is a holistic measure of how much 'stuff' can be fitted inside of a mobile suit. Likewise, External Carriage is what's bolted on the outside or held in the machine's hands.

Growth Factor is how much additional space you get as you 'level up' your machine; machines with 0 growth levels are generally fairly bargain-basement models, older types that are distinctly inferior, with more sophisticated (or simply larger!) machines having 1, 2 or more expansions.
