So if a laser can seal the thruster, you will cause an explosion. Hmm. Or at least disable the thruster.

I still know EXACTLY what can take down this AC, and I am sure that I am the only one that has one.

I think the last thing you want to do is to keep that AC in the combat zone. I would give it the option of leaving.....

Any one large superweapon smaller than the AC itself, that is not capable of killing it in one shot will not have a chance. The AC will kill it the next turn. You might hurt it, but it will still win, you shoot a leg it has the thrusters, you hit the thruster it's got it's legs, you hit an arm it has another to squash you with, you knock it's head off(I belive that's where the optics & sensors are), she'll pop's open the hatch and dismember you personally(Unless you have a sniper then you can get the last laugh).

what about targeting the control area.... oh yer the arms can block, by the rules even with the targeting systems it can only fire once per turn so have several mega heavy tracker missile launching weapons, oh yer its defence missiles, how many missiles dose it have and how many missiles can it target at once...

...It sounds like it's Luke Skywalker in a snowspeeder time!.. tried and tested. If that doesn't work you could always try EMP Harpoons, shuts down an entire section... something like that.

The targeting computer counts as an AI which lets it fire 2 weapons per turn along with basic movement and crushing stuff with its hands or whatever. So basically the pilot can move it and make it fire, but then the computer chooses targets and stuff so all the pilots gotta do to fire at one of them is press the fire button and it will automatically aim and everything for the pilot.

a 14" missile with gravity lock on system is just what this calls for if i'm correct that's 94" range and 14d10 damadge mathematically that should reduce the AC to a structure level 4 from level 6 also becuase of the surface area of the ac being quite large then the damade roll deserves a few more dice damadge for the explosion another missile would definitely finnish EPIC! C-3PO and seeing as i'm building a few large missiles i'll consider myself covered.

Unless it dodged or jammed it.

*adds a tracking system to the missile*...

You know there is such a thing as Electronic Counter Measures and Electronic Counter Counter Measures. Do not be so confident of this technological terror you have created, it is insignificant compared to the power of the For... *cough* em, Electronic Warfare.

Is this keyboard thing working?.. I know I'm typing but I keep getting ignored... am I the target of being booty bothered or something, what gives? Oh so Sorry for being interested in Power Armour, it's not like I've been immersed in some of the culture (Books, Comics mostly Appleseed and early RPG Cyberpunk Maximum Metal) for like 18 years or so... mumble mumble, youth of today mumble mumble

a missile with built in computers that locks onto an object's gravitational field and detonates at the precise mome......etc etc AKA no dodging.

Like I said in the last one... Build it & show pics or it didn't happen.

oh i know what can bring it down! Nano bots that infect there target and produce more of them selves from parts of the machine,
i don't think your AC can target them since there smaller than size1!!!

I know how to beat it. Call My Little Ponies. He'll roundhouse this terror straight to hell once and for all. Or have him do a push-up on it's head. It will crush the head, which will then disable the targeting computers, so then a whole lot of dimmies with sticks can rush up and start tying it to the ground.

well apart from the fact a 14" missile isn't a major achievement i think you can't bear to imagine threepio going boom with two hits.
