I- Mobile Suit Hangar RPG
Mobile Suit Hangar RPG is a strategy-based role playing game. It is a text based, turn based Mobile Suit Gundam game. but there is much more to the MSHRPG than purely combat. there is sabotage, diplomacy, even guerrilla tactics!

II- Getting Paid, Buying MS, and Research

Every Friday at 12:00 am (-5GMT) each faction's leader gains money equal to all their territories added up. The leader divides the money up, and posts in each player's profile how much they are receiving. that player may then spend that money in any way that they choose.

Buying MS-There is a list of MS and other units for purchase in the Shops board. put the names into a list like the example below, and paste that list, along with the total cost in your profile. subtract the total from your current cash amount.



Example:

Cash total- 20,000
x4 Bunnys- 400 ea
x2 Kittens- 200 ea

20,000
- 2,000
18,000 Total Cash

Research-
In order to research units, your faction must have built, or control one Mobile Suit Test Facility. the cost to build a Mobile Suit Test Facility is $20,000. a Mobile Suit Test Facility takes 24 hours to build, and a Mod will create a sub board for each Mobile Suit Test Facility. a Mobile Suit Test Facility also counts as a city, and may be captured, but be careful, it can also be destroyed.

Research is shared between factions. Each faction should have it's available units posted. Anyone from the faction can buy any of those units.

***Mobile Suit Test Facility***
Cost: 20000
Income: +8000 (While not producing a unit)

How to research:
In order to research a unit, you must have the prerequisite suits already researched. You can find the tech trees in the research section. In the following picture, RB-79 ball will be researched to Ball type C, and then to Ball type K.



You can find the costs in the stat sheets. An example is below. The original Ball is the starting unit, so does not need to be researched. The C type costs $400 to research, and the K type costs $1200 to research after the C type has been researched.

III- Character Creation

Character creation is the most important aspect of the entire RPG. Your "Character" is the person that you are in the great story of "Mobile Suit Hanger RPG". It may or may not relate to you, and does not even have to be the same gender.

Each player controls his or her main character, the Commander of their squad. It is highly recommended, but unnecessary to create an NPC profile for each of your squad members. for this, post them in another topic labeled "Your name's Squad". We do this because ALL of your purchases, transactions, and battles will be recorded in your Main Profile.

This is the template you should use for any character creation:

Image: (not required)
Name: (Self Explanatory)
Level: 0 (Leave this blank or 0)
Kills: 0 (Leave this blank or 0)
Age: (you must be 18 years old to enlist, however Amuro was 16, be creative *wink*)
Birthplace: ( the place your character is born)
Ethnicity: (spacenoid, or ethnicity on the earth, a spacenoid cannot be "chinese" or any other nationality, because Spacenoid is a nationality.)
Position: (Will be Assigned Later)
Biography: (The story of your characters life, not required for NPC's)

IV- Combat
Combat can be very confusing, so the best way to learn combat is to read other player's posts.

You can find a mock battle here: <Work In Progress>

Who attacks first:
The person that initiates the combat is the person that gets to attack first. for example if a player has their squad sitting in the city of Stockholm, and you begin to invade, you may post the details of moving toward the base, and begin to fire.

Minovsky Particles:
All large ships can generate minovsky particles. while minovsky particles are being generated, noone can be detected on radar, and homing weapons WILL NOT work. also, a player using Minovsky particles ALWAYS attacks first. if both players have Minovsky particles scattered, then they roll dice to see who goes first. if a defender has scattered Minovsky particles in anticipation of an attack, they may fire the first shot. if the invader does not notice the Minovsky particles, their turn is completely void.

Moving:
Each unit can move one space per turn, or attack. Mobile suits can occupy the same space as ships and other mobile suits. Ships cannot occupy the same space as other ships. Mobile armors will be treated as Mobile Suits, but will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

How to move:
Each turn, you must label the location of each unit. Alternatively, you can use paint, and upload color coded images of your army. for example, if you are using the space hex map:
1x MS_06A Zaku II Early Type (0101)

You can then move your units by describing which ones are moving, and to where they are moving in a very clear manner. Try to separate the different suits and locations if possible.

If battles grow too large, please contact a moderator, and we will see what we can do about enlarging the map. You may also consider our "Adopt-A-Map" program, and create a map of your own for a particular area.

Attacks:
In order to attack an enemy unit, your attacking unit must be directly adjacent to your target. You then roll a dice for each individual attack. Once you have rolled, you may roll play the actions your suits have taken. You can either type [*roll] without the * or hit the dice button.

In order to determine your attacks effectiveness, you may use the stats pages under your faction's research page;

EFF Stats

Zeon Stats

The number beside your unit's weapon is the number you must roll out of 6 in order to make a hit.
for example, the GM trainer in the stats page below has a (3+) next to the beam rifle's name. This means you must roll either a 3,4,5, or 6 in order to make a hit.

The GM trainer fires it's beam rifle at the Zaku II.
p|tIXISM
Since you got a 3, that means you hit the enemy suit. Now the enemy suit has a chance to "save" itself from your hit. If the suit you are using has a "A+1" indicator on it's stat sheet, that means your weapon does 1 better than listed. That means the beam rifle would be 2+ instead of 3+.


Dodging:
When your enemy scores a hit on you, you get a chance to "save". All suits automatically have a 4+ to save, but if your suit says "M+1" then it means that you only have to roll a 3+. Being a newtype or ace can increase your chances to save.

Destroying a unit:

In order to destroy a unit, you must lower it's HP to 0. If a unit fails it's dodge/armor save, it loses an HP. If it goes down to 0, they are destroyed.

Weapons of Mass Destruction:
Weapons of Mass Destruction are against the Antarctic Treaty. this does not mean they will never be used, hence many of the story lines of GUNDAM. a weapon of mass destruction generally yields no chance to dodge, yet there are often chances to counter attack. WOMD's are considered, and not limited to:
Nuclear Missiles, Colony Drops, Colony Lasers, Solar Cannons, and Colony Gassing(g3)

As of now, the Antarctic Treaty is not in effect.

V- Capturing and Holding territory

In order to capture territory, you must first destroy (or capture) all mobile suits in use in OVER half of that territory(That means if there are 4 boards, you must control 3, for 6 boards you must control 4). You must have controlled those territories for at least 24 hours. For example:

www.mshangar.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=na
North America has four main cities. if you capture three out of four of those cities, you may post and claim North America as your own. (It belongs to you, even if you don't post in time.)

Territories and money-
Each territory adds to your paycheck whatever it says on the board.

VI- Newtypes

Newtypes are very important in tipping the scales of a war, both Cyber Newtypes, and Natural Newtypes.

Becoming a Newtype-
Cyber- A Cyber Newtype can be created in a Newtype lab, which I will post prices for when it is created. both DOZ and EFF may purchase these. Each facility will be able to make 1 newtype (can make another if they die) or 2 if it is upgraded.
A character must remain in the lab for 1 month to become a newtype

Natural- A Natural Newtype must have been born in space. they do not realize their potential right away, but constantly become better.


each person may have only 1
newtype. exceptions may be made for cyber and natural combinations. (example: Char and Lala situation)

VII- Gundarium Alloy

Gundarium alloy is used to make Gundam like units. It is found only on the moon. in order to research Gundams you must first build the Gundam. the Gundam costs
$10,000, 5 alloy, and takes one week to complete. after the Gundam is complete you can research any existing gundam, or create your own within reason. Admin will determine length of time to produce, and the cost.

in order to build a custom Mobile Armor, all of the factions Mobile Armors in the series must be built.
