Joseph Hewitt:
Quoting: EpsilonAnticheese, that reminds me or a rather depressing story in which a Strongarm critical'd my Radcliffe, loaded with expensive salvaged gear, for 12,000 damage. I kid you not, 5-digit damage.

That was quite probably an ammo critical that caused another ammo critical... or several. That happens quit often to Radcliffs, but all the freaking time to Petrachs.

Yeah, I posted in the newsgroup about it. I've also seen it happen to Chimenteros (Chimenteri?), rocket-launcher Ultaris and once to... something. Can't remember.

Anticheese:
An ammo critical, Means that the rockets explode inside your Mecha right?

How is damage for that kind of thing calculated? I think it should work based on the DC of each rocket. As in a little rapid fire rocket might not do much damage,  But a miniture nuke would be crippling.

Actually, That opens up another idea! Some ammunition is acidic, Some works with EMP - So if your ammunition blows up, Perhaps it would make sense to roll for damage against you with ARMORIGNORE?

Epsilon:
Anticheese, have you ever had an ammo critical happen to you?

Trust me when I say you really don't want them to be any worse.

Anticheese:
Somehow I think I just made a fool of myself by suggesting making a "Oh god no!" feature worse.
