I like the armor, but it makes me wonder about the bugs. DR 200 means that those bugs would have to have a 3e strength of at least 50 with a rather generous armor divisor of 5 on specialized swinging marine opener appendages. Those are going to be some nasty bugs.
That's a generic problem with 'bug' races in SF. For example, in Starcraft a marine does 6 points of damage with his 8mm gauss rifle, which implies something like 12d(2) in GURPS -- and from the sound effects, that's a 3 round burst. A Zergling, meanwhile, does 5 points of damage with his claws, which appears to actually represent two claw hits. If we call the gauss rifle pi-, we can make that work with claws doing about 4d(5) cut.
A zergling is the size of a large dog. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
