MOBILE SUIT EQUIPMENT 1/2
 All armors are rated by their Structural Points (SP) each value represents an equivalent amount of RHA or High Tensile Steel/in. Ceramic and Composite armor is also avalible but at a Multiplier in Cost Points to install. Armor Material has the added advantage of reducing impact damage by absorbing its listed defelection adjustment value from weapon damage without suffering a penalty but is reduced in effectiveness (+1 deflection adjustment Mod.), per strike damage done above the maximum (SP) threshold of the armor for that material class. All Add-on armor such as Command or Combination Armor is ablative and as such when added should be listed in K's rather than SP.

Super-High Tensile Steel Zeon Mobile Suit Armor is based on Super-High Tensile Steel on a monocoque frame which has good deflection against Kenetic Energy weapons, but has the disadvantage of being less effective against Chemical Energy weapons such as HEAT explosives and Mega-Particle Beams.
|  Luna-Titanium
RX-78 & RGM-79 Federation Mobile Suit Armor is based around Luna-Titanium and other
Titanium Composites alloys which have offer the best mix deflection and
effectiveness against Chemical Energy weapons but it is both extremely
expensive and dificult to manufacture. This results in very few
Federation Mobile Suits having the benefit of being equipped with this class of armor.

Spy-commu  Features: Independently Guided SMART tracking and Engagement
This man-machine interface receives the newtype pilot's powerful psycho waves as input and translates them into computer commands,
allowing a newtype pilot to control a mobile weapon by thought alone.
However, due to the system's bulk, it can only be installed in mobile armors or giant scaled-up mobile suits.
The development of the psycommu system makes possible a deadly new combat tactic.
Through the use of Binary remote control and Independent Targeting (B.I.T.) weapon's that carry integrated
guidance and tracking combined to a sophistcated robotic weapons control system which can track and engage targets independently.
Several remote weapons can be coordinated simultaneously by the
newtype pilot to attack an enemy from multiple directions simultaneously - a technique known as an all-range attack.
These weapons have a +6 to strike, +5 to dodge, and can attack 3 times per turn until they hit,
are destroyed, or run out of fuel.
Since the Minovsky effect renders radio ineffective, the first newtype mobile armor,
the MAN-03 Braw Bro, uses cables to transmit power and targeting commands to its psycommu-controlled weapon turrets.
A further refinement of the psycommu system yields a more elegant solution.
The MAN-08 Elmeth is armed with wireless drones, each of which includes a small fusion reactor to power its manuevering
thrusters and mega particle cannon. Commands are transmitted to these remote weapons by the Spy-commu's amplification
of the newtype pilot's psycho waves, which are unaffected by Minovsky jamming. This technique, however,
is usable by only the most powerful of newtypes.

The thrust propulsion is provided by venting electromagnetically charged plasma gas from the reactor
chamber into the secondary propulsion powerplant which generates lift and foward thrust.
Designed as an upgrade for Hyperbolic Series Reators designed to boost flight performance at the sacrifice fuel efficiency Class II reactors offer slightly better atmospheric performance than Class I reactors but suffer from relatively low Megawatt output.

 Cracker Grenade Cracker Grenades are multi-explosive munitions surrounded by a magnetic coating, an electro-magnetic proximity trigger enables the grenade to be attached to a target when thrown, once attached a contact fuse detonates the grenade tranmitting the explosive shock to the target. Up to Six Cracker Grenades can be carried by MS on storage racks.Cracker Grenades can be of any variety listed in the specification table. Because of their small size Cracker Grenades are not available as smart munitions.

 Central Block Storage Space (2CP) Construction Modification: x2.5 Cost Mod.
The central block system was a revolutionary way of designing mobile suits, first implemented on the RX-V & RGM-79 series MS.
The idea was to include the combat computer, cockpit, and reactor of the mecha in a central module that could be ejected and recovered if the mobile suit
was ever destroyed.
The cental block unit would also be modular, so that it could be transferred to another mobile suit body while the original
one was being repaired (thus reducing down-time for pilots).
The modular aspects of the central block system would also allow the mobile suit to be customized to different
environments and equipped with special weaponry for a variety of missions.
The designers of the Gundam then took this concept one step further, and designed the central block unit so that
it could transform into a fully functional plane when not attached to a Gundam body. This would become known as the COmbat Retrieveable Escape (CORE) fighter
which would allow the pilot to escape with the most valuable systems of the mecha in case the Gundam ever was destroyed in battle.
Although some designers envisioned using the "CORE Fighter" as a multi-role fighter,
it proved to be rather ill-suited for that purpose. While being an effective light interceptor,
its armament was ineffective against mobile suits.
Later on during the war an external unit (called the "Core Booster") was developed, which could be attached
to the Core Fighter and turn it into a powerful heavy fighter.
The Core Block system benefited the Gundam several times during the war.
However, the system proved too expensive to include in all Federation mecha,
and was therefore not included in later mass-production versions of the Gundam.

1PT. of Lift acceleration(+0.3/mach) turn rate (+0.2/sec.) speed (+135 Km/h) Jet Packs are re-usable SCRAMJET Boosters contained within an armored housing which is designed for use in space or underwater, this externally attached unit is a modification designed to give the mobile suit extended flight capabilty for aproximately one hour (360 turns) and can jettisoned after use. when the jet pack is used in water the pilot must surface his mobile suit in order to initiate take-off by first using the mobile suit's own thrusters during power a assisted jump. While airborne the pilot would then initialize the Jet pack's engines which would ignite to provide the suit with additional thrust power in order to achive extended flight.

Once a missile has been detected , the AEAMS "fires" an explosive at it which has a 90% chance to destroy or divert the missile. The AEAMS works well against either multiple targets or one target, and protects the right side (front/flank/rear) arc from incoming fire. These charges can also be used as offesive weapons because the explosive charges can be detonated on impact against melee target when the MS tackles or rams its opponent.

| Heatproof fields are a modification to the mobilesuits frame and outer skin structure which adds a series of thermoinductive cells throuht the entire mobilesuit, these cells convert thermal radiation into eletro-static currents that are conducted across the outer surface of the mobile suit. The currents can be desipatated into the surrounding enviroment to generate a field effect while excess currrents can be stored in capacitors to power secondary systems. The electrostatic fields disrupt RADAR tracking (+10 difficulty to hit w/RADAR guided missiles, +5 Difficulty to hit w/LASER guidence, 70% chance of blocking radar-based search/detection). The heatproof field capacitors can also absorb electromagnetic pulses but they are not designed to do this, as such there is a 50% chance that the capacitor is destroyed as it protects the mobile suit from EMP damage.

Nuclear Fusion Reactor  Contruction Modification: x.3 total MS cost
|
The Thermonuclear Reactor Thrust system or "Ground Effect" movement system is essentially a Thermonuclear Thruster system which
provides thrust propulsion by venting electromagnetically charged plasma gas from the reactor chamber into a secondary propulsion
sub-system to generate lift and foward thrust. The First propulsion system of this type was developed
to provide self-powered atmospheric flight capability for the cancelled MS-07H project, however the fuel ineffeciency and mechanical unreliabilty
of the intergrated subassemblies hampered the design. After Zimmad engineers reviewed
the data collected from the cancelled project they redesigned the thermonuclear thrusters to provide
Hover Propulsion and intergrated them into design of the MS-09, MA 10 (Ground/Space).
