MicroMissiles For CP2020

Micromissiles are state of the art smart weapons capable of in flight maneuvering to ensure a hit. A miniaturised sensor head feeds information back to an onboard computer that controls the missiles flight. The F.I.D approved rules system for using Micromissiles Point missile at target in your LOS, initiate launch Roll for missile lock If missile locks on to target, roll to hit, ignoring any modifiers for visibility, cover or LOS blockage and adding the missiles WA to your roll. If the missile doesn't lock, roll to hit anyway, but with WA= 0 and all modifiers. Missile in flight. If the lock failed, or your roll to hit Missed, roll for a lock again. If missile locks, them roll to hit again. If you hit, the missile will hit the target if both the locks failed, but you hit, then the missile hits the target if you missed and both locks failed, you missed. and 4 you catch the man... du dum dum du dum dum... Special cases. If the missile launcher is laser sighted, +1 to lock. If smart gunned, +2 to lock (+3 with a target scope as well) (laser sights and smart guns are NOT cumulative for this) If the Lock roll ever fumbles (natural 1) then the missile will attempt to lock onto the nearest viable target to its line of flight Types of Micromissile Choose the missiles' Intelligence and Sensor System, add the multipliers together and multiply by the warheads base cost This gives the Cost PER MISSILE. Intelligence Dumb Gyrojet WA 0 can't lock Cost 1/2 no sensors Dumbo (i sin a elefant fly) Smart WA+1 Lock on 8+ cost x1 Smart Smart WA+2 Lock on 6+ cost x2 Genius Smart WA+3 Lock on 4+ cost x3 Einstein Sensors Heatseeker - cost x1 These home in on the hottest object in the line of flight. They must roll 'lock on' whenever they pass fires, flares, running engines etc. If they lock, they swerve and hit the heat source. countermeasures-any heat source Smart Heatseeker - cost x1.5 These are set to only register body heat. They will never lock onto other heat sources. countermeasures-IR cammo's, water/mud coolant Smart Heatseeker II - cost x2 these are set to only register HUMAN body heat patterns They will only ever target humans Countermeasures-ir cammo's Lock and track IR - cost x3 These have a one shot memory that records the thermal patterns of the target they lock onto. they never fumble the second 'lock on' roll, and never hit anything except the target in memory. Can lock onto ANY heat source countermeasures-alter your IR signature Preprogrammed - cost x4 These have a pattern or series of patterns in memory already, and so can be programmed to target only these patterns, or to ignore there patterns and not target them. Programmable - cost x4 These are programmed in the gun, in the moments prior to launch. If no pattern is loaded, they act as 'lock and track'. If the gun is connected to a thermal imaging camera, or to a cyber eye with thermo (via a smart gun) the gun can feed the target into the missile. Thermal patterns can also be saved and passed via the matrix. The GUN must be specially made to feed information directly to the missile loaded. (cost of launcher x2) Laser rider - cost x1 These lock onto whatever is illuminated by the pre-set frequency of laser light (usually the gun, but can be any other source of the correct frequency) If the laser hits (roll to hit as normal) then the missile can roll to Lock at +1 when fired and in flight. If it locks, it hits the illuminated area. (aiming laser = cost as laser sight) Cephalic - cost x4 These are cutting edge technology, as they have a body map processor fitted, allowing them to recognise the human body from any angle and target a specific part (usually the head) When they hit, roll for Lock on. If it gets a lock, it hits the preprogrammed location (chosen when made) Must be combined with another sensor type.[if the missile is also 'programmable' them the location can be chosen at the moment of firing] Extended range - cost x2 or more All micromissile have a basic range listed with the launcher, but with longer missiles, with more fuel, better endurance on the batteries and airframe, the missile can go a lot further. cost x2 gives base range +100m cost x3 gives base range +200m cost x4 gives base range +300m etc Short range - cost x 1/2 Base range reduced by half. this needs less fuel, and the whole missile can be made of cheaper materials with a shorter endurance.

Recoil is low, but ROF is slow as the missiles spend longer in the barrel than bullets A Larger version with a 30 round helix mag is available for 1050 euro. HVY. Mi.L.P.Mi.12.2/8.St.200m Pepperpot 350 euro Bulky 4 barrelled pistol, this can fire all 4 of its missiles in a volley. Hvy.Mi.J.P.Mi.4.1 or 4. St.200m Handgun 450 euro A big handgun, with a big grip and a short barrel. Recoil is similar to a .22 target pistol. P.Mi.J.P.Mi.6.1.St.200m Underbarrel 200 euro A simple one shot under barrel tube, compatible with most rifles. Hvy.Mi.NA.P.Mi.1.1.St.200m Manpack 5,500+ euro (ILLEGAL MILITARY ONLY) Man-packed micromissiles are a military concept, for close in support. The backpack houses a snail drum of 50 missiles and vertical lauch tubes with individual loaders. The onboard radio/deck can receive Thermal patterns and positions from up to 6 separate sources and fire programmed micromissiles for support. The unit can also set its missiles to ignore known friendlies and fire vertically, allowing the missiles onboard sensors to track in on any unknown . The missiles are cold launched to a height of 5m before rocket ignition to help conceal the firer's location. Already Smart, Programmable and EMP shielded [Vehicle mount weapons with 500+rounds and 20 launch tubes are also available] Hvy.Mi+2.NA.NA.Mi.50.6.Vr.200m Concealed cost varies These are verging into Spy story props, but miniature missiles disguised as pens, cigars and sex toys have all been found. Generally custom made, with prices that reflect that. Hvy. Mi .P or J.NA.Mi.1.1.Vr 100m Pocket 50 euro Simply a polycarbon wrapping tube with an ignite button.The missile is armed by pressing the button and then the tube is thrown in the direction you want it to go. Hvy.Mi-1.p.p.Mi.1.1.St 50m Shotgun launch 15 euro 18mm micromissiles can also be fired from any normal shotgun Game Note When fired, the rocket will leave a trail of fire for most of its flight, so anyone can see where you are. Get ready to duck.... BlindFire It is possible to fire micromissiles blindly into areas, around corners, through windows etc in the hope that they'll lock onto something and tracking on it. When Blindfiring, roll to hit the general area (window, doorway, corner) range is measured from firer to where ever they loose L.O.S The Missile then rolls to lock any available target in its line of flight (with the types of targets chosen by the missiles sensor head)
