2x Green Attachment Special Rules?

Maybe the could resist spots? It's hard to hit and hard to see something that moves very quickly, so spot rolls could go against the lowest green die.

Personally, I'd go with each green system adding one of a few optional movement abilities. For (probably unbalanced) examples:

Hovering/Jumping: Can move over/onto terrain. This replaces the normal bonus of the first green die, so you could take green systems without taking it, or lose it first when damaged. This could also represent climbing or teleporting.
Aquatic: Counts as in cover while in water. This requires moderate to heavy use of water terrain to be useful.
Flight: Counts as elevated for offense (but not defense). Requires Hovering/Jumping (and thus is lost first).
Tunneling: Always counts as "under a roof", and can move through, but not onto, terrain (possibly not water). Second level causes the frame to always be in cover if it doesn't move? Maybe against elevated frames only. Incompatible with Hovering/Jumping and Flight.
Wheeled/Jets: Add a d8 instead of a d6, but can't climb, even with ladders. If combined with Hovering/Jumping and/or the bonus sprint die, they cancel and the frame can climb ladders as normal. Only one level allowed (or second level removes something else?).

How about being allowed to split the movement before and after the attack?

Sorry about the thread necro, but I've been designing a team of frames that focus on speed and I had an idea for a double-green ability that I hoped I could get some feedback on. I figured this was the best thread for it rather than starting a new one.

The ability as I've currently written it is that if a frame uses a 5 or more for its movement, it may use one remaining or for defense. The idea is to effectively simulate the frame moving so fast as to be especially hard to hit. The frame doesn't need to actually move 5+ units of distance, just use the 5+ as its movement die.

I figure most of the time this wouldn't give the frame any special advantages beyond a bit more flexibility. Say a frame gets 5+ results on two , but either doesn't have a or gets a crap roll on it. It may use one of its instead of using up a . On the other hand, if only one results in a 5+, then using for defense could be preferable anyway.

Very occasionally, though, this could make the frame very strong defensively for a single turn if it has two green d6 and a green d8. If a frame rolls a 5+ on at least one , and a 7 or 8 on a , it may use the to move and use the for defense, giving it a much higher defense for that round than would be possible with blue dice.

I haven't had the chance to playtest this yet; it's just something I'm toying with in planning out a team, so I'm eager to hear any thoughts everyone might have. Is this overpowered? Does it make taking other systems less attractive? Or do you alternately not see this as being an attractive enough system to justify spending two systems on movement?

I would almost say that if you were to do this, you couldn't add a system as you're talking about a really agile frame which uses that agility as defence, so it's not going to be weighed down by armour.
