D.A.V.E. Pilot Manual

D.A.V.E. PILOT MANUAL

Reborn Robotics is excited to present our newest line of bespoke multi-purpose recreational combat droids — the Defense And Violent Encounter droid, D.A.V.E.!

D.A.V.E. is fully equipped with auto-loading armature support, top-of-the-line armor plating, military-grade jet thrusters, and a luxurious triple-foam, pleather-lined pilot's seat in the color of your choice. Our R&D department has developed a revolutionary weapon configuration specifically to equip D.A.V.E. with an unprecedented level of firepower for one-on-one combat: our patented Softpoints™ system. Congratulations on being alive during such an exciting period of product development!

Each D.A.V.E. can carry a single pilot of typical human(oid) size. While piloting D.A.V.E., the pilot gains the benefits of 15 Armor Points (AP) and standard radiation shielding. If these AP are reduced to 0, the D.A.V.E. unit can be repaired over the course of 48 hours in a machine bay, hangar, or ship nursery with repair tools, using Mechanical Repair or Industrial Equipment [-].

Additionally, D.A.V.E.'s integrated Jetpack allows movement within Long Range, horizontally and/or vertically, while it is powered. D.A.V.E. requires a Powercell to operate; a fully charged cell can power the unit for 24 hours.

While piloting D.A.V.E., the pilot uses their own Stats and Skills to operate its systems, weapons, and utilities, but does not need to roll to lift objects up to 5000kg or use the Jetpack, and gains [+] on Strength checks. D.A.V.E. is also equipped with 12 hours of O2.

DISCLAIMER: Due to corporate code classifications for vessels and military operations (CC105.2.3.x12), D.A.V.E.s are not considered spaceworthy. Under no circumstances should you attempt to operate, pilot, take shelter in, or launch your D.A.V.E. while in the vacuum of space or similar environs. If operating in Zero-G, expect reduced control accuracy, diminished air quality, and/or swift & brutal death.

DESIGNING YOUR D.A.V.E.

  • Melee Handheld (100kcr): Install a standard melee weapon, which replaces the built-in digijointed effector.
  • Ranged Handheld (250kcr): Install a standard ranged weapon, which can be toggled to swap between the weapon and the built-in digijointed effectors.

Ranged or ammo-based weapons installed as Handhelds auto-reload over the course of 1 round with no action required on the part of the pilot.
