Nice

I know this isn't robotech/macross, but did you ponder having the hyperdrive on the back pods?(way too much macross plus viewing)

*imagines an R2 unit sticking out the front screaming*

Actually last night I was pouring over http://unsd.macrossroleplay.org/ and http://www.kent.net/robotech/mecha/index.shtml.

Looks like I gave it a hyperdrive built in... but it would make sense to have the hyperdrive as part of the Super Valkyrie armour/booster set up, rather than the basic model.

eh, in star wars, Hyperspace units aren't that big, so it shouldnt be a giant thing out of MP.

I'm just being nitpicky today, sorry.

I would add Strength and Dexterity scores so you can use the craft in a "Mecha mode" and grab things, brawl, and the like.

They'd fall under Mech Operation; a Mechanical skill. Damage on the brawl is 3D Starfighter Scale.

Mech Operation, I believe, I set off as an Advanced Skill; I'll write it up later when I find my notes.

I don't doubt it. Transforming mechs have been part of Sci-fi for as long as I can remember.

Looks like a pretty interesting vehicle although I'd be tempted to leave the hyperdrives off alltogether and have them have them need to be carried from system to system

I like the idea of the modular hyperdrive, like with the Jedi Starfighter, or Cloakshaped Fighter. It would be plausible to have the hyperdrive as part of the booster and armour of the super valkyrie, I think. It should probably be removed from the normal model.

This is the basis for the stats (VF-1S Valkyrie variable fighter)


This is the armoured Super Valkyie; the hyperdrive could be in those big boosters:

Actually, Robotech precedes Transformers by somewhere between 5 & 10 years, if I recall correctly.

That seems fairly likely I recall seeing robotech videos in the video stores as far back as I can remember long before Transformers videos were available.

But of course with my location I'm probably a year or so behind the rest of the world in terms of niche pop culture
