After my previous post on
Weird Retro Spacecraft, a friend gave me this link to an article about rocket ads.
Since X-Plorers and other space RPGs hail from the 70's or some campaigns have a Retro feel about them, I thought it fitting to share this, also.
Any spacecraft that engages in combat may encounter planetary defense missiles, so these ads might be useful for stirring the imagination.
Here is my take on what this particular missile would be as a weapon in
X-Plorers:
Viper Defense Missile
Range: may be used successfully against a moving target at a range of up to 3000 km.
Type: Planetary Defense Missile - Type I
Crew: unmanned
Missile Points: Can take 1 Space Combat Weapon Damage point before being destroyed.
Weapon Damage: A Viper missile causes 1d3 damage
AC 11 (because of size & speed)
Skill Throw for accurate hit (unless destroyed): 12
XP Value: 5
Cost Million Cr: 5
====
Cobra Defense Missile
Range: may be used successfully against a moving target at a range of up to 4000 km.
Type: Planetary Defense Missile - Type II
Crew: unmanned
Missile Points: Can take 2 Space Combat Weapon Damage points before being destroyed.
Weapon Damage: A Viper missile causes 1d6 damage
AC 11 (because of size & speed)
Skill Throw for accurate hit (unless destroyed): 12
XP Value: 10
Cost Million Cr: 10
====
Python Defense Missile
Range: may be used successfully against a moving target at a range of up to 5500 km.
Type: Planetary Defense Missile - Type III
Crew: unmanned
Missile Points: Can take 3 Space Combat Weapon Damage points before being destroyed.
Weapon Damage: A Viper missile causes 2d6 damage
AC 12 (because of size & speed and armor plating)
Skill Throw for accurate hit (unless destroyed): 12
XP Value: 15
Cost Million Cr: 20
Enjoy! ... unless one hits your ship
