Minovsky Particles and YOU!
When entering the battlefield you are automatically aware of all friends and foes in a Sensor Rating x2 km radius when Minovsky Particles are NOT present when using Radar.
When Minovsky Particles are present, and the pilot is using Radar, a pilot must make a threshold 3 sensors test to identify friends or foes in Sensor Rating x2 km radius.
When attempting to get a Weapons Lock-On a enemy mobile suit, the pilot must make a threshold 2 test. Every 2 successes over the 2 threshold nets an extra die to use when making attacks against the Locked-On target.
Example: Billy-Bob Gundam Pilot attempts to Lock-On a target and makes a sensors test (Perception Rating + Sensors Rating) and gets 2 successes, getting him 1 extra die to use to make attacks against the Locked-On target. If he got 3 successes he still would only get 1 extra die to use to make attacks; however, if he got 4 successes he would get 2 extra dice to use against the target.
If Minovsky Particles are present the threshold to get a Lock-On is increased to 5, requiring multiples of 5 successes to get extra dice to make attacks against the locked on target.

Multiple Initiative Passes
As we saw last session, the mechanic of multiple initiative has slowed combat down to a crawl. Also, by not having the ability to have multiple initiative passes, a character is unduly left out of the majority of combat.I do not wish to completely throw out the advantages given by "Wired Reflexes", so I will be implementing a change. Every extra "initiative pass" a character gains one extra simple action. If someone has multiple extra simple actions, they may combine 2 simple actions to make a complex action.
Example: Billy-Bob Gundam Pilot has a normal action which consists of 2 simple actions or 1 complex action. When Billy-Bob gets Level 1 "Wired Reflexes", he gets 1 extra simple action. When he upgrades to Level 2 "Wired Reflexes", he gets 2 extra simple actions, or 1 extra complex action.
So there we go folks, everyone gets 1 (ONE) set of actions per initiative round. Also initiative is rolled once per combat instead of every round.

the user to purchase this upgrade at rating 2 (one for each leg).
This upgrade provides +2 to the vehicle's land handling.

the handling of all flight vehicles that use thrust by +2.
Mobile Suit Shield -
This

Sensor Modification –
Laser Mass Detection
With
the increased use of MPD (Minovsky Particle Diffusion) on the
battle-field, the use of radar has become troublesome at best. This
modification allows the user to use their sensors at ½ value
(rounded up) without incuring Lock-On and Battle-field recon
penalties due to Minovsky Particles.
Improved Arm Hydraulics
-
This
modification increases the strength of the mobile suit by +2 each
time it is taken. It may be taken up to 3 times per individual mobile
suit.

This
new rocket system is heads above the competition, let alone the
previous models. Zeonic Corporation has stepped up its game to help
give the Resistance an edge over UEG in space combat. This model also
includes acceleration that is capable of sustained flight in an
atmosphere, giving you resistors the ability to put the mobile back
in Mobile Infantry!

While
a much needed improvement over the Mk. 2, this new rocket drive still
does not stand above the latest Zeonic Corp. design. With this unit
having a slower acceleration and top speed, the UEG is going to be
really feeling the casualties when the war in space really starts to
ramp up.

Commentary -
It
handles like an elephant in a shopping cart, and holds the record for
being the slowest military mobile suit currently in production. So,
what makes this ungainly tortoise worth anyone's time? LUNAR TITANIUM
ARMOR! That's right fellow resistors, the finest armor money can buy!
This is also the closest any pilot is going to get to anything like a
true Gundam since the Resistance is only paying out for PSR claims,
not allowing true Mobile Suit salvage. So if you don't mind the slow
speed and the poor handling, this bad-boy can walk through beam fire
with only dings on the paint job!

Hot
off the assembly line of the UEG is the newest mass produced GM. The
GM Precession Type is the newest in the UEG's attempt to step up
their Mobile Infantry's performance on the battle field. The upgrades
compared to the original GM are only marginal; however, these suits
used en mass have shown noticeable battle-field improvements in MS
security and mobility. Watch out resistors, these units have teeth!

What
happens when our boys and gals capture a GM? Depending on how PSR's
(Pilot Salvage Rights) are worked out, the team that took the suit
down can “sell” it to the Resistance or keep it for themselves.
When the Resistance gets a hold on a dastardly GM it isn't just
content on putting a new paint job on the suit, it completely refits
the GM into a more patriotic Zaku. While this suit is more GM than
Zaku, it isn't just a GM with a new face, it's been completely
overhauled to win out over the enemy.

So,
with the piling of GM bodies around Mars, the Resistance engineers
have started to put those heaps of scrap into use. The STI is a
standard Zaku – II with the improvements taken from the mounds of
dead UEG and Sader-Krupp mobile suits the Resistance has laid waste
to.
