It takes 5 minutes for the airlock to be fully cycles, and ready for reuse. Company captains may decide to use the large cargo hatches: in hostile atmospheres, all must be suited up/masked, as this immediately spoil's the transport's atmosphere.

These lasers make fine anti-air and anti-missile weapons. Their damages at eyeball combat ranges are devistating, and can cut clean through battle armour (though NOT through many combat vechiles, like, say, the Trepida main battle tank...). Even in Exotic atmospheres, these lasers make nice minor-league orbiting assault platforms. (ie, using data from the Reformation Coalition Equipment Guide, it can be deduced that standard orbit around Earth is about 120 km up (20 km times the size digit of the UWP = orbiting distance, if memory serves). In standard atmosphere, these lasers can cause 19 dice of damage - though they cannot penetrate through armour.) Also note that all these settings are using 2 shots per turn. I don't have time to compute damage at lower ROF (say, 25, or 10...) shots per turn, but damage even then is probably BAD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alvin Plummer "Preserve what we created, Norris, and remember what we stood for." - Strephon, 179-1126 Reply to: alvin.plummer@SHERIDANC.ON.CA
