Ultra-Tech: Premade Armor

Ultra-Tech: Premade Armor

GURPS Ultra-Tech has a bad reputation. In some aspects, it is justified, in some it is not. One of the problems people often bring up is the deadliness of weapons and uselessness of armor. In my opinion, this problem is not as bad at people make it seem. I've played in quite a few high TL games and never really encountered such deadliness, especially if you use the Body Shots rule from GURPS High-Tech. People also seem to forget or misuse LC. I also ran some calculations in a post a long time ago to show things off mathematically.

I rarely GM high-TL games, but for the last one I GMed (that was a disaster!) I created a lot of guns and armor, using different design systems. For armor, I used the articles from Pyramid #3-96 and Pyramid #3-85. You can create any kind of armor you want, but I decided to create a table of premade armors with maximum DR for the material, half-maximum (to be concealable), and quarter-maximum (to be very concealable). I actually really like the results. DR is overall a bit higher than in Ultra-Tech, but so is weight. Using this armor in your games will make characters safer on battlefields (note that you can also add trauma plates). I'll post the tables here, maybe you'll find them useful.

Fabric Armor

This armor is a simple uniform garment. The Chinks in Armor (p. B400) rule should not apply. Optionally, a piece of armor may utilize an optimized distribution of material – decrease the weight by 20%, but double the cost. If this construction type is used, the Chinks in Armor (p. B400) and Harsh Realism – Armor Gaps (see GURPS Low-Tech, p. 101) also apply.

Arachnoweave (TL9)

Arachnoweave armor is flexible with a split DR: it provides full protection against piercing and cutting attacks, and uses its reduced DR against all other types of damage. Arachnoweave armor also has split cost: use the higher cost at TL9 and the lower cost at TL10+.

Plate Armor

 

Armor made of solid plates or castings, attached by joints, carefully shaped to use less material in areas of reduced vulnerability to save weight. If this construction type is used, the Chinks in Armor (p. B400) and Harsh Realism – Armor Gaps (see GURPS Low-Tech, p. 101) also apply.

 

Polymer Nanocomposite Plate Armor (TL9)

Plate armor made of plastic reinforced by carbon or boron nanotubes. Polymer nanocomposite plate armor has split cost: use the higher cost at TL9 and the lower cost at TL10+.
