The only thing not listed here so far are the OE Bots (TwiddleDee, and Twiddledumb), and the Slip Fighters. They will be stated as equipment , save Twiddle Dee, and Twiddle Dumb will be constructs. I haven't decided if i want to do Rommie's Android Avatar, seperate either or a version of the Morph power. I'm thinking that i need to make Rommie's Android a Character, and make the ship a Minion of the Android?

[Bravo]

WOW

Ok personally I like the idea of the avatar being a character while the ship is a minion of the android - would make for an awesome NPC and HQ combo for a team of Supers. Looking forward to seeing more of this!

[JoshuaDunlow]

:shock: WOW

Thanks Bravo, im still working on it and thinking. This is almost like the Farscape build, i did for Moyo. I made pilot the main character, and Moyo his minion basically. But this is pretty different though, cause the avatar is the extension of the ship. Not the other way around. So many Rommie should be a "Sidekick".

Hummm Sidekick. That could explain Rommie's being able to adventure independently of the Ship and the ship's AI still being very much active onboard.

Yeah Farscape (another favorite of mine from Sci-fi) I didn't know you had made that build but I will go look at it asap. But I do like the Pilot main character/Moya a minion idea.... Hummm that also has sparked some interesting ideas for alien heroes who roam the 'verse inside their living ship!

EDIT: Ok checked out the Farsacpe stuff and wow... just wow! Excellent build there Josh.

Nova Bomb
A nova bomb is a fictional weapon of mass destruction in the Andromeda series. It functions by briefly weakening, nullifying or inverting gravity in a large area, with the intended purpose of artificially inducing a supernova.

The destructive power of the nova bomb is not clearly defined, but there is an established upper limit - in the second episode, the Andromeda Ascendant's entire complement of 40 nova bombs was not powerful enough to destroy a relatively small black hole, although they did temporarily neutralize enough of its gravitational field to briefly turn the black hole into a white hole. However, since a main-sequence star consists of a large body of extremely energetic superheated gas, held under pressure by the gravitational field generated by its own mass, it is actually highly unstable – it would only be necessary to temporarily neutralize a relatively small proportion of a star’s gravitational field to drive it to go supernova. It is seen to be able to destroy a solar system filled with Magog by firing into the solar system's sun.

Consequently, while a nova bomb can easily destroy a star, its effect on planets or ships is less certain.

Notably, when used against the Magog world-ship, which is a superstructure made up of an artificial sun surrounded by several hollowed out planets, a nova bomb succeeded in driving the star to go supernova (although, virtually all of the energy released was absorbed by the Spirit of the Abyss), but apparently had no effect on the world-ship’s superstructure.

Although Dylan exhausted the ship's initial supply of nova bombs shortly after waking up from his three-hundred-year 'sleep', Dylan acquired a new one during a visit to an abandoned High Guard satellite base, which he subsequently used in a failed attempt to destroy the Magog world-ship during their first confrontation with it. Harper subsequently built a new bomb that he called 'Rosanne', which he claimed had the combined power of three nova bombs put together, and was subsequently used by the Eureka Maru to close a dimensional tear and destroy the over ten thousand ships that were travelling through it.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_bomb_%28Andromeda%29"

As it stands, a Nova Bomb is technically a X-trait device. And should be handled judiciously , since it can destory an entire solar system. However a Nova Bomb can be used against normal targets, and not a star. For this purposes a Nova Bomb is a Rank 22 Explosive Blast.

An AU (astronomical unit) is 93,000,000 miles. Which Equates to a 30 Rank progression to the Explosions Radius. (yes i really figured that out, ) So add 30 ranks of progression, to the Blast power when you toss this sucker into a star. Oh yes, and the damage increases to a Rank 40 Disintegrating effect. !

To put this into perspective the destructive blast of the Novabomb is enough to destroy almost every planet in our own solar system.

Jupiter is 5.2 AU's from the sun. (rank 35 effect)
Saturn is 9.5 AU's well within destructive range still. (Rank 30 effect)
Uranus is 20 AU's, (rank 20 effect)
Neptune 30 Au's (rank 10 effect)
Pluto 39 Au's (rank 1 effect)

WOW...Nova bomb...WOW!!! I love Andromeda and I curious how your going to stat out the Sun Goddess.

[JoshuaDunlow]

WOW...Nova bomb...WOW!!! I love Andromeda and I curious how your going to stat out the Sun Goddess.

LOL, one step at a time, lol. But thanks, I think i did a good job, equating a Nova Bomb out. And i am still tweaking Rommie and Andromeda as we speak.

[Libra]

For a ship with such a pretty name Andromeda is rather homely, don't you think?

Keep up the good work Joshua.

Here's that cute, rascally little alien that turned into a sun goddess. There's probably quite a few things im missing right now, but heck i wasn't sure what all could translate well enough. And i was iffy about giving her ressurection in her physical form. Since she is seen dying in the 2nd episode. But for all i know this could just be the Trance Feat too. I wasn't sure, cause i missed the very last episode of the 5th season. But i was pretty sure, if she goes Nova. She would pretty much die though.

I have been immersing myself in tons of episodes of Andromeda lately, so i thought i would include equipment that i come across in the series.

High Guard Bracers:
The High Guard Bracers emit a frequency that messes with the targeting of smart bullets, in essence this grants the shield power at Rank 2.
Cost: 2 ep/1pp
Wealth Cost: 12 dc, Requirements: Status (High guard) 1

Guass Gun:
The most common type of personal handgun is a gauss gun, which accelerates a smart bullet at supersonic speeds using electromagnetic forces.
Pistol: Blast 4 [Power Feats: Accurate; Extra: Penetrating 2]
Rifle: Blast 5 [Power Feats: Accurate; Extra: Autofire, Penetrating 2]


The Force Lance:
The Force Lance generally looks like a harmless metal rod approximately 1/3 of a meter in length which fires plasma shots, but can extended to almost 2 meters and be used as melee weapon. The Lance is keyed to its handlers DNA and can also be reprogrammed, a person will be electrically shocked when trying to use another's programmed Lance. It can also be used as a taser.
The Force Lance can launch a number of self-guided tiny attack drones (called “effectors”) that both target opponents and intercept incoming bullets and missiles. It has a grappling hook function, it can be placed in a stationary position to be set on auto fire, & finally it can be used as a plasma grenade by setting it to overload.

The Force Lance 7 [Easy to Remove; Restricted 2 (DNA pattern-Anyone attempting to pick up is electrically shocked)]
* Taser [Stun 6 (Extra: Ranged, 4 Alternate Powers] = 22dp
- Ap: Plasma Shots [Blast 6]
- Ap: Strike 2 [Power Feats: Mighty, Collapsible]
- Ap: Overload [Blast 6 (Extras: Explosion); Drawbacks: Destroys Force Lance (2)]
- Ap: Grappling Hook [Super Movement 1 (Swinging)]
* Effectors [Enhanced Feats: Accurate (to strike, taser, plasma shots)+ Deflect 5 [All ranged])] = 13dp


Mono-Molecular Lash
This appears to be nothing more than a small hand held device, but it produces a filament that can cut through anything. The problem with these things is they are hard to control, and are just as dangerous to the user as it is to anyone else around them. They will cut through anything with a substance toughness of 12 or less. And now for the ugly side, anyone attempting to use the lash with a attack bonus less than +5 can be hit by the lash 50 % of the time. Plus you need to take a weapon specialization in this weapon, otherwise the chance of failure is 100% of the time under +5. 50% of the time otherwise.

Disintegrate 12 [Power Feats: Extended Range 1 (10’), Flaws: Touch Range, Unreliable Side Effect (full flaw)] =25pp
