New Mecha Flight System:
REFFING BOARD (MECHA) (PL 7).
The Reffing Board (Mecha) is (visually) nothing more than a super-sized surfing board, but in reality it utilizes a variety of sequenced miniature directional thrusters, independent anti-gravity generators, the mecha's own (pilot-managed) weight distribution and (in its home universe) TraPar reflecting surfaces to grant the mecha with a flight maneuverability that surpasses almost anything else in the sky.
Although the Reffing Board (Mecha) is all but standard-issue to mecha designs in the 'Eureka Seven' universes, it's still a brand-new design in Coreline, and as such, seeing limited (but quickly expanding) use.
This system grants the mecha a Fly speed of 200 (Average).
Equipment Slots: 1, must be boots or legs. (Actually, and this is a homerule I was thinking of, it can be installed in Boots and 'share' the slot with any other system, but the other system cannot be used if the Reffing Board is in use-kind of like an equipped item. As an equipped item, as well, the Reffing Board can be shot out from under the mecha without damaging it).

XMC Weapons
XMC is short for Ultimate mecha challenge. Sort of like a mecha fight club which is popular throughout the galaxcy. Basicaly two (Or more depending on the rules.) mecha engage in a no holds barge match to see who can disable the other. The XMC utalizes their own brand of weapons desigined after normal human Melee weapons only scaled for mecha. No Energy blades, No Gravetic Discharges, just simply clasic Chopping, Peircing and crushing. This limits their lathality but increases their afordability as well as prolongs the action in the Mecha Fight pit.
Also the XMC weapons are perfect for adding weapon gadgets want a mecha sized High Frequency Axe? Just clap the High frequency gadget on a XMC-6 Battle Axe.
These weapons can be used to sort out several variant weapons. Want a Mecha Sized long sword just buy a XMC-1 Great Sword Sized for a mecha of the same size of the mecha.

Holy crap.
Holy crap.
Only one thing can be said to that-
Seconded!
I Still have more mecha equipment if you are interested =)

Now, here's some of my own new gear.
E7-MW ‘LFO’ MECHA KNIFE.
High-tech, mecha-sized knives, sharpened to a near-monofilament edge, balanced and designed as boomerangs. Because of this, the knives have a high chance of returning if thrown at a target, and can cut thru most kinds of mecha armor like butter. These knives are the standard-issue weapons of the Light Finding Operation-class mecha.
They can be deployed or retracted in their sheaths as a free action.
While held, the knives convert the mecha’s slam attack into a claw attack that deals slashing damage. The amount of damage is based on the mecha’s size: Large 6d8, Huge 8d8, Gargantuan 10d8, and Colossal 12d8. The claws have a critical threat range of 19–20.
The claws are one size category smaller than the mecha’s size category.
If thrown, the E7-MW Knife has a range increment of 60 ft., and deals damage equal to its normal claw attack (equal Critical range, too). As well, the thrower must make a Reflex save, DC 15, to catch the knife as it returns. Failure means one of three things (GM’s call):
1) The thrower gets hit in the face by his own returning weapon. He can attempt avoid being struck by making a Reflex save against DC 10.
2) The Knife lands 1d4 squares away from his position in a random direction (and might probably hit someone standing there-they can makea Reflex save as well).
3) The Knife lands in a randomly determined square adjacent to him.
Equipment Slots: 1, must be hand (or arm if Large).
Activation: Attack action.
Range: Touch.
Target: Single target within reach or 600 ft. (if thrown).
Duration: Instantaneous.
Saving Throw: None.
Purchase DC: 12 + one-quarter the mecha’s base purchase DC.
Restriction: None.
‘HOT ROD’ WHEEL FEET.
The feet of the mecha have retractable wheels with independent motors. Although while deployed, they make the mecha look like an in-line skater, and they do not have the durability of tank threads, the ‘Hot Rod’ wheels trade this by giving the mecha unparallel land speed.
A mecha equipped with ‘Hot Rod’ Wheel Feet has its base land speed increased by 15 feet.

ANCHORING BOLTS.
A set of bolts deploy explosively from the soles of the mecha’s feet, anchoring it to the ground. Originally installed to provide stability while firing heavy weapons, the Anchoring Bolts have become standard to mecha designs that require constant secure footing (artic exploration/combat and starship defense mechas, for example).
The Anchoring Bolts, when deployed, provide the mecha with a +8 bonus on all checks involving stability, such as resisting bull rush attempts and trip attacks. However, the mecha cannot move while they’re deployed (and will most surely damage whatever it’s standing on if it tries to).
If used in melee combat, the Anchoring Bolts create 1d4 damage, and can ignore 10 points of hardness (but the awkwardness of using them in this fashion reflects in a -2 penalty to the attack roll).

SAW (Sonic Assault Weapon) MODEL 27 (‘The Song’).
A highly experimental weapon that was recently developed, the SAW is aimed towards two fronts: riot control and standard combat, and it deals with this by means of focused sonics. For this, the SAW-27 has two firing modes: the ‘Soprano’ mode, which fires an omnidirectional sonic wave that is meant to stun anything living (and able to listen) that is standing around the mecha, and the ‘Aria’ mode, which fires a concentrated line of sound towards one single target-resulting in a powerful concussive wave.
The SAW-27 is a package deal consisting of two items: a sonic generator and a combination resonance chamber/projector. The reason the weapon has obtained its nick-name (‘The Song’) is because, although the generator itself (the bulkiest part of the package) can be installed anywhere within the mecha, most manufacturers have made a (somewhat unconscious) decision to install the resonance chamber in the mecha’s head, usually covered with an armor plate that slides out of the way when active-giving the impression of the mecha ‘opening its mouth’.
Rules-wise, the SAW-27 in ‘Soprano’ mode affects a circle of twice the mecha’s reach (meaning that if a mecha has 10 ft. reach, the circle if of 20 ft. starting from the mecha). All targets inside the circle must make a Fort save, DC 18, or be stunned for 1d6 rounds (critical failure will make them be Nauseated for the same amount). Targets with proper ear protection can have a bonus to this save or negate the effects altogether.
The SAW-27 in ‘Aria’ mode deals 12d6 of Concussion damage with a successful ranged attack (critical range 20), and additionally any targets hit must make a Fort save, DC 20, or be deafened for 1d4 rounds after being hit (critical failure will have them Stunned as well for the same amount of time). Targets with proper ear protection can have a bonus to this save or negate it altogether.
Equipment Slots: 2, one of which must be Helmet.

Ok, let me say one thing: Overpowered. You are effectivly giving a mecha the power to decimate a small country, and keep it that way for 10-100 years. And for what, two equipment slots and being in PL7?
Try this:
XAD-Decimator Cannon
The Decimator Cannon is one of the most powerfull weapons of it's kind. Designed to give mechas a fighting edge in combat, a mecha armed with it can easily wipe out an entire squadron of other mechs.

For those Gundam Wing fans (like myself :D), this is a direct copy of the buster cannon of Wing Zero. Two of these can give your mecha enough firepower to go toe to toe with light starships.
BTW, BUMP.

And so the question i would have about this, is that other than suicide bombers, who in their right mind would use this? If you fire this wepon and it goes off you will blast your self with 30d8 because its' range is 1000 ft, witch happens to put its user in the inner damage zone of that blast.
again, we see that the future will bring forth a new era of Kinder Gentler Nukes.... because allowing a Nuke to be a 1shot kill is unballanced...
Compare the PL7 MG-4D Tactical Nuclear Rail Gun
to the DavyCrockett tac nuke rocket from decades ago,
and it seems yet again we had much better weapons before we got PLs.
Would it be ok to have
Davy McCrockett TacNuke Launcher(pl6)

This mech weapon is no more than the original, anchient 1956, DavyCrockett 0.5kt Nuke that has been updated with a more efficient warhead for better balistics, and an arming/firing mechanism for mech use.
When imagining the future, it should be better than what we had in 1956, Wiki
or Waylan's Nukes For All Seasons to get a nice atmo burst nuke damage scale

um... what?
Entire squadrons, but with a single 1500' target?
12d10 is the most powerful, meaning no gun will exceed the 120Abrams
... ignoring of course the 140mmRhinemetal the germans fire daily at demos
Must be so big, like a tank, but get no better damage than a tank from 2 PLs ago?
Abrams 12d10 gun has what for an RI?
Why wouldnt a giant robot carry a Mc79 120mm-smoothbore breakaction singleshot that combines the firepower of an Abrams shot with the simplicity of a 40mm M79 ... just carry it... wouldnt that be about right for a 40' robot. Or we give man infantry Dragon shoulderfire AT missiles, wouldnt a metal 40' infantry guy get a really really big shoulderfire AT Missile?

I can see that gun being used as an anti-ship gun by pirates.
yup, got the idea from the A&E shows a while back... a new look to a rigging cutter chainshot, kinda like Chainshot meets Bolas

Darksteel (PL7)
After Interstellar travel became possible (Regardless of how) they tried to mess with all manor of interstellar objects. They discovered that if someone simply dropped the proper materials on to a neutron star, and then managed to pull them back later that new super-heavy, super-dense elements could be made. One of the most useful manufactured materials by this process is Darksteel, Its extraordinary density makes it one of the toughest known materials in existence. It however has the downside that its extraordinary weight and cost causes most people to look for lighter, less expensive materials.
Hardness: 60
Base purchase dc modifier: +15
Special: Due to Darksteel's weight and the size/strength of parts required to move it, any vehicle using it for a super structure moves at half speed.
Tell me what you think, use it if you want, modify it if you want, go nuts.
Capitolizing on research (a poll at Berkely), the northrup Human Resourses Dept developed a new mech armor material: Marketing-esium. They state that peploe believe what they are told, and will act accordingly even with direct evidence to the contrary, given an adequately funded marketing campaign. Thus begat the product Disbelief Armor: It is not really armor, but we tell folks it is... and they believe it.
Mage8 Armor Plating
is a set of lightweight fiberglass pannels with huge logos writen in a glow in the dark pigment, "Mage8" and "M8" blazen across the pannels let everyone know you have some serious armor, and the mass media advertizing of the product have made it a household name... everyone knows you dont wanna mess with a Mage8 armored mech.
The key to the functionality of Disbelief Armor is that it is not really armor at all:
it has a TrueDefence of just +1,
but attackers must make a WillSave DC20 vs MarketingHype at the beginning of the fight or suffer the belief that it really is as good as the comercials say... Def +8. This save is rerolled after any successful hit at the believed +8Def, with a -2DC to the roll cumulative for each hit... after a while you see the armor aint really good at all.
Mage8 Mech Armor (Disbelief Armor) (PL6)
Equipment Bonus: +8
Armor Penalty: 0
Speed Penalty: +5 (morale bonus, you also believe you are better looking in it, score beter with the ladies, smarter, better at sports, and your jokes are funnier... just like the guys in the comercials)
Purchase DC: one-quarter the mecha’s base purchase DC,
Recurring subscription to advertiving campaign license PDC20 each Month,
5 year contract, PDC40 early cancelation fee,
Non Negotioable, non transferable, terms subject to change without notice
Special: Will Save DC20 (-2DC Cumulative reroll each it) drops EquipBonus to +1
While many vets are trying to sue over the rampant failures of Mage8 Armor, most are seetled by undisclosed amounts with nondisclosure contracts, and the others are dismissed in the mass media as political agenda attacks on military preparedness. The original developers in HR have moved on to the TalkRadio industry, or have taken up residence in assylum countries. The myth & function of Disbelief Armor is sustained.
nice one backstabbist!
The True power of marketing.
I could say that certain gaming companies make this armour...all hype no substance.
The McHandGrenade is a 1 slot rack that carries 6 'grenades' to be thrown by the mech. Use of a grenade is a FullRound Action, which includes grabbing the grenade, arming, aiming, throwing, and the detonation. As with smaller human grenades, the target is a grid intersection. The actual grenades are sized (named) appropriately for the mech they are mounted on, and stats are based on that size.

Slam is nice, but for the DanceAround mechs why not let KungFu Joe get his thing on. Circle Kicks & that one with the snakefist (man that arm held up with the snakey hand cracks me up) would be just so cool for a 30' robot
I'm currently working on reformatting the d20 Mecha rules in PDF format. I have the d20 Mecha book located here, both in original and new format.
http://sites.google.com/site/d20futurecampaign/Home/files
I'm interested in using this information on this thread and perhaps create a supplment to the d20 Mecha book. Anyone whow would like to allow me to use their material please let me know. The forums is a great place to post ideas and hash out ideas but I dont find it that great for finished and polished ideas, PDF is a better format (espeically when associated with art).
Anyway, this is one of a few books I'm hoping to present to the community here as free supplemental PDFs for d20 Modern and (mostly) d20 Future.
On a side note, how much of this material is compatible with d20 Mecha?

Its range is not limited to 1000' its range incrament is 1000' so it can actualy fire out to 20 range incraments or 6 and 2/3 Kilimeters. Makeing it relitivly safe. Maybe the slots are off but make it require more if you dont like it.
This weapon was meant to be a Horrible WMD Maybe not as spiffy as a davey crocket (Which i love BY the way) But Look at the buffalo rifle from d20 past it out preforms the Barret model 82 .50 cal in almost every way statwise.
Maybe Raise the armor bonus to defence for Higher PL level Vehicle armors or something. Cause when it comes down to it Your just as Splated when you get nailed with .52 (Or was it .55 I cant remember.) Buffalo ammo as you are if you get splated by a .50 cal BMG ammo. Only difference one has a FMJ desigined to peirce armor. Maybe +2 per difference in PL?
JMB didnt design his 50cal to peirce armor, nor as AntiMateriel,
his (m2) 50BMG was a people killer.... for when the people were far far away
There is a GIANT world of difference between a 50-110 buffalo gun round, and the 50BMG.
Alway remember that the 600NitroExpress rates like a "60 or 70", while 50BMG scores a "115 to 130"... and the 'normal' guns like 9mm/45 only rate "3 or 4"
it is that the 50-110 Sharps doesnt kill Ogres, GiantExoSlugs, or ZombieGummiAmorphs at 500m like the BMG does.... its not about armor, its about wound channel volumes.
The same slug fired twice as fast is not the same terminal performance
My point was to illustrate a need to show that more advanced weapons should e better than out of date weapons. However theules dont always display this.
unfortunately, d20Future followed in Moderns footsteps (2d12 BMG mistake) and hamstrung itself.
PL6 gives us little mini-grenades that are as powerful as 'full size grenades',
yet there are no fulsize 'more powerful' grenades.
If a 1 MegaTon Nuke gets 16d8,
then Hiroshima (~20kt) would get 1/50th of that... about 1d4 RefDC99 12000' r
And the flat out damage cap that makes us believ weapon technology cant improve- improvement results in staying the same. Just look at the different small arms technology when set apples to apples:
Bold is RAW
notice that 3d10 cap on rifles as technology advances thru the upper PLs?
We do have a fairly decent progression at the lower PLs

Nothing says "You're special" like a stickybomb.

I have been thinking about the PL vs deadlyness factor. Sense the weapons dont seem to get much more damaging beyond a certain point what if there were an automatic bonus to the DC of Death mas Save. Or maybe an increased likelyhood of backing a crit or something. Maybe Like +1 per PL above 5. That way a more advanced weapon is more likely to drop yo sorry *****. Also Maybe a built in Armor peircing Ignoring one point of Equipment Bonus to defence for each Pl above 4 or 5 Unless the armor had some kind of descriptor such as [Hardened armor ] or somethinng along those lines. I personaly wish they would just Drop the ammount of Hp a character gets and than make Armor work like DR. But thats just me. Makes for a more fun and deadly game IMHO.
Maybe something like this.

This lightweight chicken-wire style mesh is held out from the surface of a mech, or vehicle, to a distance of about one foot. Although it can look rediculous, it does gain some protection from high explosive antitank rounds. Spaced mesh was first used on tanks during fighting in places like Afgahnistan where U.S. forces were losing tanks to RPGs and similar infantry launched antitank rounds, from actual chicken wire and wire mesh from screen doors.
The mesh, when struck by antitank rounds that used shaped charges, is far enough away from the main armour that the jet from the charge is defused enough to do only superficial damage. The mesh has no effect on kinetic energy penetrators or energy weapons with antitank properties.
Benefit: Spaced mesh negates the antitank round's ability to ignore Hardness/DR, provided it uses shaped charges and similar principles from weapons such as the M72A3 LAW and RPG-7s, and also halves their damage. Eg: A M72A3 normally deals 10d6 damage and ignores 10 points of hardness, against spaced mesh only deals 5d6 damage and the armour's hardness/DR works against the remainder damage.
Unfortunately, after each attack, spaced mess becomes less effective as it becomes damaged. After the mech has suffered 30 points of damage, spaced mesh is rendered useless and must be replaced.
Spaced mesh costs 11 PDC and weighs 10 lbs for a Large sized vehicle/mech. Increase PDC by +1 and weight by 5 lbs for every increase in size of vehicle beyond large.
