Yep, you can't have more than two of the same system on any frame. That means at most you would have 2d6+d8G, 2d6B, 2d6Y, 2d6+d8R or 3d6R.

Ah, ok, so weapons are sub typed? Because you can carry 4 weapon systems (not including SSRs) because you can be 2Rh+d8 2Rd+d8 2W (and many other weapon combinations that involve 4 weapon systems). At least, I think that was confirmed, but I can't find the post.

Yep, so a frame can have four weapon systems, but you can't have more than two of of the same range.

Yeah, you can carry that many weapons, it's just a terrible idea. You're effectively using half of them as defense dice whenever they're out of range. It's better to pick a range and commit to it.

I think that's pretty. I like.
I worked on the setting and mecha design, but my opinions are purely personal.

This is really coming along nicely!

Is it possible to change the third red d8 to be up and down as opposed to on its side?

This is so cool. I expect to use this for all future games. If you like, I'll mention it in an update.

I updated the dice positions a little bit, and made the D8's just round for now, so they should work in all browsers.

Joshua A.C. Newman, sure, go for it!

Thank you, calculus, for creating this webpage. I've downloaded it to my android phone, and it works just fine when opened from there (although it behaves a little strangely when viewed online). You have saved me a decent amount of money on dice (they're not cheap where I am), which I can now spend on LEGO parts to build more frames :D

How would you like to do add a scoreboard to the app?

First, it would calculate who has the most/fewest/neither of assets.

Then, when you checked off a frame in the roller, it would adjust the score appropriately. When a station changed hands, it would adjust both scores appropriately.

I'm really happy you're doing this. I'd love to give you credit but don't know your real name!

You don't think I'm going to trust just any website when it tells me who wrote it, do you?

Yes he did, in response to Joshua asking his name to credit him on the update on Kickstarter where he mentioned the dice roller ;)
