If I can't do that, than the systems I've contemplated for the conversion are: Silhouette - Fast mechanics, converts easily to Blue Planet (since they are both zero average systems). Interlock (Mekton Z) - Can do it and also has a cybernetics system more detailed than BP's. BESM - Fast and simple. I can do it with any of these, but I really like some aspects of the synergy system (namely damage resolution, and the thoughts behind it...it's an excellent piece), so I'd like to keep it if at all possible. > >PS: From where is the picture of the NPC Enna (On your homepage in the NPC >section, to the left of the description of the NPC Enne). > I can't figure it out and it annoys me :-) > The picture is taken from the BattleTech product, Field Manual: Periphery.

It is a possibility. I just thought is difficult to keep the landing pads and the functional if they are flooded regularly. Same for the docks, and if I remember correctly only Water's Edge is submersed completely (the rest is not submersed or only partialty???) during storms. But it is a possibility and a good one. So, a guess for the holes on the Bridges?

The event I ran was suppose to be serious. In fact, the afternoon session of it was a complete blast as everyone really got into their characters. The late-night session started being wacky and I just went with the flow. I blame the lack of sleep and that fact that we started at 10pm. But as long as everyone was having fun....
