Sorry, been very occupied. The brother brought his PS2 home for Chrimbo, and he bought Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I'm sure you can understand...
Anyway, regarding the service tunnels, think of the ones on the Enterprise in Star Trek. You could walk through most of them if you crouched, but they could be bigger. You could fit 2 aside down most of it, but single file would be a lot more comfortable, and a LOT quieter..
I also cannot be too sure how often I'll be online for a while. Work is being... Unco-operative... I'll be able to manage twice a week, at any rate.
You can all have a small data slate if you really want. Lemming, I'm still working on your character (I'm REALLY sorry about the delay!) and he won't have to bother because he can have some nifty implants/photographic memory or something (PM me with preference. Actually, if you could send a list of things you'd like bolted on to him in order of preference it would help a lot...).
Happy Christmas, I'll try and post up another go tomorrow...0 -

Seeing as combat may well start in the next turn, here's how it goes:
In GURPS, each combat round last one second. It might seem like much, but anyone who's ever been in a fight will know that one second in combat is a long time...
In each turn, you can do a couple of things. Available actions include (modified because I can't be arsed working out all the details in the full rules)-
Movement: You can move half your Dexterity in yards in one go. You can move further if you run/charge (add half your health in yards on to the movement). You can fire while moving, but there's a penalty to hit (depending on how fast you move), and you can't aim. Other move actions include jumping, rolling, climbing, and whatever else you might think up. Ask me.
Melee atack: If you're close enough, you can attack with whatever's in your hands, be it chainsword or rifle-butt. You can target specific body parts at a penalty to hit, but potentially causing much more damage.
Aiming: Aiming your gun gives you an accuracy bonus for the first shot fired. The bonus depends on the weapon, but rifles (especially sniper rifles) get quite hefty bonuses. The bonus is effectively added on to your skill with the weapon, sometimes making it impossible to miss. Aiming for more than one turn only gives a +1 to hit each time, and you can only aim for three turns at most.
Shooting: You can make one shooting action per turn. This may mean more than one shot, depending on the gun's rate of fire (see later). Like melee combat, you can target specific body parts at a penalty and potentially cause much more damage.
Defense: You can try evading attacks by either dodging or parrying. You can't parry gunshots unless you're close enough to parry the weapon (point blank range). Parrying also might leave your opponent more open to an attack the next round.
Weapons:
Chainswords, knives, and such: Close combat weapons, although you can throw knives. Chainswords are effectively well-balanced high-powered chainsaws, so they're effective, but noisy. normal blades will have severe trouple against armour unless you find a chink, but chainswords can cut through as well as giving a damage bonus.
Lasrifle:
Damage: 2d6
Rate of fire: 8
Accuracy bonus for aiming: +13
Shots: 100
You can fire multiple shots a round, and all hits on the same target are cumulative, meaning you could do 16d6 damage to one target a round!. This represents the lack of kickback and a laser's ability to burn steadily through anything if held steady...
Heavy bolter:
Damage: 8d6, target armour is halved.
Rate of fire: 10
Accuracy bonus for aiming: +5
Shots: 60
A fully automatic weapon, firing armour piercing gyro-stabilised mini-rockets with a mass-reactive detonator, so the rounds explode AFTER penetrating. Aim at a single enemy, or you can aim at a GROUP of enemies. Tell me which beforehand, I'll work out the specifics of how many get hit and so forth.
Flamer:
Damage: 8d6
Rate of fire: 1
Accuracy bonus: +5
Shots: 30
Flame weapons are special. They can do a lot of damage, and you can hit more than one enemy with a single shot, but you have to split the total damage between everyone hit. It does 8D6 damage, but if you fire at 8 people each person hit only takes 1D6 damage, which most armour will stop easily. The advantage of this is that everyone hit can catch fire (taking further damage), and it's a great tool for scaring people into retreat.
Sniper rifle:
Damage: 7d6
Rate of fire: 1
Accuracy bonus: 15
Shots: 5
Sniper rifles do a LOT of damage, and with the bonus of aiming, headshots (and thus instant kills) are easy. It can only take one shot per turn though, and there isn't much extra in the clips.
Meltapistol:
Damage: 2d6x10 (yes, that's right. 2d6, multiplied by ten.)
Rate of fire: 1
Accuracy bonus: +3
Shots: 5
Really powerful, but not too accurate, and very little ammo.
Frag grenades:
Damage: 6d6 concussion, 2d6 shrapnel damage
The concussion damage doesn't actually harm anyone from a hitpoints point of view, but rather it means the force of the explosion which could knock you prone or knock you out. Frag grenades are dangerous to unarmoured troops (2d6 shrapnel on bare flesh), and even armoured troops can be knocked flat by the blast (concussion), leaving them prone to a knife in the throat...
For the sake of simplicity, there are two buttons on a grenade. Press the first once for every second delay you want on the fuse, and the other to start the countdown. From Raph's last post you'll realise he primed his grenade for 5 seconds...
I'll give stats for other weapons, when they become important. That's all being carried right now.
(Raphael, we'll work out the shaped charges later. Suffice to say they'll be powerful enough if you blow up what I want you to. ) 0
