01. Variable Full-Force Barrier Field: The Variable Full-Force Barrier Field provides additional protection for the craft, but all sensors are at half effect (and the MRI won't work at all). Purpose: Defense. MDC: 200 per panel; 1,200 total available. NOTE: Each panel MUST still have 1 MDC for the system to continue working. Effect: Provides 200 MDC in each of 06 panels. Range: 40 ft. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees coverage area around the craft. 02. Hardened Circuits: The electronics on board are unaffected by EMPs or scramblers. Purpose: Defense. Effect: EMPs, even military grade ones, have no effect. Ators are known to have such weapons. Range: On board. Coverage Characteristics: All on-board electronics. 03. Magnetic Shields: A magnetic shield beyond the Full-Force Barrier Field disperses ion and particle beams and befuddles missile electronics. Purpose: Defense. Type: Shield. Effect: All particle beams do 1/2 damage; Missiles have a 30% chance of being confused and missing; Ion beams are also diminished: Roll normal effect +10%; If restricted, ship is sluggish, not DIS. Range: 350 ft beyond the craft. Effective Against: Particle and ion beam and missiles only; Lasers are unaffected, as are other weapons. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees coverage area around the craft. 04. AMC/FD: Anti-Missile Chaff/Flare Dispensers. Actually launches a glob of burning magnesium/aluminum alloy to confuse both radar AND heat sensory systems. Fires off 04 chaff/flares each time it is activated. The system is KNOWN to work on all KNOWN radar and infrared systems, but concerns continue that somewhere out there their MIGHT be a system that will be totally unaffected by the system. Reduce effects by 20% against smart missiles (add +20% to rolls for smart missiles.) Effect: 01-50: Enemy missile or missile volley detonates in chaff cloud- Missiles are all destroyed 51-75: Enemy missile or missile volley loses track of real target and veers away in wrong direction (may lock onto another target). 76-00: No effect, missile is still on target. Also note that the chaff cloud will also blind nearby heat sensors (and optically based sensors at night) for 1 melee. They will suffer the following penalties: Reduce melee attacks (or actions) and combat bonuses by half. Duration: 1D4 melee rounds. Payload: 60 chaff/flares. Each time the system is engaged, the system fires off 04 chaff/flares. 05. LDP: Launched Decoy Pods located on the tip of the port and starboard wingtips; The craft carries a pair of pods that contains advanced decoy drones. These drones are launched to go where ever they want for 30 minutes. Each is a specially designed lure that mimics the craft; This system has been successfully deployed against SEVERAL alien radar-type sensors (including one that works off of sound), but has no effect on Invid Protoculture sensors. MDC: 5 Effects: The decoy has a 98% chance of fooling ordinary non military radars and non smart guided missiles, and a 90% chance of fooling military grade radars and advanced smart missiles. Range: Released to go wherever it wants. Can fly independently for about 30 minutes. Rate of Fire: Up to 4 times per melee. Payload: 8 per pod (16 Decoys total). 06. Decoy Pods: The Steneirian style decoy pods still in use on the Steiner Fighter has been installed on the EC-66 under a working agreement with the Steiner Republic; REF engineers didn't want the system, but have accepted its presence. The decoys themselves are specially modified Mini-Missiles that produce burning globs of magnesium/aluminum alloy to confuse both radar AND heat sensory systems, as well as creating a lot of smoke to obscure the fighter. NOTE: Though the modified mini-missiles combine smoke flares, AMC/FDs, and LDP's, they aren't powerful enough for use with Destroids/Guardians/Etc. Reduce effects by 20% against smart missiles (add +20% to rolls for smart missiles). Purpose: Defense. Effect: Duration: 1D4 melee rounds. Rate of Fire: Once per melee. Payload: 6 chaff/flares. 07. Westinghouse SAQ-310(R) Active Sensor Jamming: A circuit-hardening program that provides internal ECM protection. NOTE: The system has an effective protective sphere of 2003; Beyond that, the system is spotty and insufficiently effective, though intermittent jamming effect continues. Friendly units are equipped with jamming overrides, so the jamming doesn't effect them. Purpose: Sensor and radio jamming. System Type: Radar jammer. Effect: Causes a loss 75% loss of information to enemy radar in a 200 miles sphere; Reduce enemy read sensory equipment by 40%. Range: 2003 miles. Effective Against: Any sensors and radio EXCEPT laser comms. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees within the 2003 mile sphere. 08. IBM-3600 Combat Computer System: Tracks and identifies specific threats, with a database of over 10,000 objects stored in memory. The computer can detect, identify, and track up to 25,000 targets simultaneously, and keep in active memory up to 30 hours of such information. Feeds information to and takes information from the TIES sub-system, allowing targets to be tracked both in general and specific terms. Purpose: Target Identification and Tracking. System Type: Computer; Ties into the TIES. Effect: 70% chance of identifying an unknown object (never before seen) at type and purpose; 78% of identifying a known type variant (such as the Fehran Fighter variant of the Spacer I Space Fighter); 90% of identifying a known type base model (such as the Spacer I Space Fighter). Range: Per Selected Sensor. Minimum Target Characteristic: Per Selected Sensor. Coverage Characteristics: Per Selected Sensor.
The system also can interface directly with the sensor operators via text readout and synthesized voice system; One such sub-sub-assembly exists for each sensor operator and the Mission Commander; Additionally, they can select data to be shown on their individual displays. Purpose: Target Identification and Threat Assessment. System Type: Threat Identification and Engagement System (TIES) Effect: Knows every major type of threat in the universe, including machines, psionics, magic, and natural occurrences with a minimum of 70%. Range: Per Selected Sensor. Minimum Target Characteristic: Not Applicable. Coverage Characteristics: Per Selected Sensor. 10. Hughes USQ-700 Laser Communications jammer: Designed to detect, analyze, monitor, and jam voice and data laser link signals by enemy forces. NOTE: This is line of sight weapon, and must be aimed PRECISELY at either a transceiver or receiver. Purpose: SIGINTS and communications jamming. System Type: Laser-based. Effect: Can intercept, decode, and jam enemy laser communications. Range: 20,000 miles. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees coverage area. NOTE: Requires a strike to use at least 03 times per melee for full effect at +3 to strike; Each failed roll results in a loss of 33% of the total potential data. Will NOT work against shield-equipped vessels. 11. Laser Target Designator System: A laser target paging system that increases accuracy of identifying specific enemy targets which is then detected by friendly units. The beam can be detected by anyone with the appropriate systems. Purpose: Tracking. System Type: Laser. Effect: Aims a low-intensity laser (no damage except to sensitive sensors) at a given object. Range: 20,000 miles. Minimum Target Characteristic: Not Applicable. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees coverage inside the effective area. | 12. SSRt-256 Infra-Red Detection Systems: The EC-66 has SEVERAL layers of IR sensing, covering all 6 sectors with half-coverage of adjoining sectors. Purpose: Detection, Identification, and Tracking. Sensor Type: IR. Effect: Detects all IR sources inside the effective coverage area. Range: 100,0003 miles. Minimum Target Characteristic: Any IR source, regardless of characteristics. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees coverage. 13. Westinghouse RT/SKI-17 Multi-Phase S-Band Phased Array Doppler Surveillance Radar: An advanced multi-phase S-band phased array doppler-effect based radar array; The system has the capability of scanning in both elevation as well as azimuth and thus can revisit targets; It can simultaneously operate in both low-PRF pulsed modes to enable the detection long-range targets beyond the horizon and high-PRF modes to detect all-altitude targets out to the radar line of sight. However, this is the general viewing/wide angle radar; Not very sensitive, it can still cover large areas for follow-up by the SR/AR-225. Purpose: Detection, Identification, and Tracking. Sensor Type: Radar. Effect: Sees all radar-reflective objects within its coverage sphere. Range: 10,000 miles; However, in space, even this kind of range allows a LOT of area to watch. Minimum Target Characteristic: Anything with a radar-active base; This includes aircraft, ground vehicles, comets, asteroids, and etc. Coverage Characteristics: A sphere of 10,0003 miles. 14. Westinghouse SR/AR-225: Twin electronically-scanned conformal antenna on top of the fuselage in what was the forward canards. The system views a specific area of about 10+/- miles at it's maximum range of 10,000 miles much more intensely than the RT/SKI-17, giving it a focused but intense picture of the targeted object. The system can be togged to the RT/SKI-17 for tracking purposes by the operator, preventing an object from moving out of the viewed area. Purpose: Detection, Identification, and Tracking. Sensor Type: Radar Effect: Sees all radar-reflective objects within it's observed area; NOTE: This system can be pinpointed to a given desired area. Range: 10,000 miles. Minimum Target Characteristic: Anything with a radar-active base; This includes aircraft, ground vehicles, comets, asteroids, and etc. Coverage Characteristics: 10,000 miles; NOTE: This system is unidirectional, not omni-directional. 15. Radar Detection/Warning Receiver: Providing all aspect broadband protection from RF guided missiles. Purpose: Detection, Identification, and Tracking. Sensor Type: Radar detector. Effect: Detects all radar signals contacting the craft, even if the signal is too weak to successfully return to point of origin. Range: Surface of craft. Minimum Target Characteristic: Any radar signal. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees area. 16. STT-K Video Radio Communications Array: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Purpose: Communications Sensor Type: Radio Effect: Carries video signals. Range: 600 miles, or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay. Minimum Target Characteristic: Not Applicable. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees area. 17. Thomson DCS-2,500 Multi-Band Digital Camera System: For medium range traversable UV, infra-red imaging and optical band detection and tracking. The presence of this system has led to EC-33's being used as air and space born telescopes in cooperation with universities and other institution (makes for a good training mission). Purpose: Observation and recording. Sensor Type: Visual. Range: 2,000 miles. Minimum Target Characteristic: UV, IR, and color-band wavelength objects. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees viewing area; Magnification is up to 20,000 times . 18.

Purpose: Target Designation And Range Finding. Sensor Type: Laser. Effect: Can identify the range and page a target up to maximum range of 2,000 miles. Range: 2,000 miles. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees area. 19. Tourette's TS-42/19 Forward And Side Looking Infra-Red (FLIR/SLIR): Full time forward and side looking infra red system. Mostly used on Search And Rescue missions. Purpose: Infra-red detection. Sensor Type: FLIR/SLIR. Range: 500 miles active, unlimited passive. Minimum Target Characteristic: Any infra-red. Coverage Characteristics: A cone of 360 degrees around the craft, and from 000 degrees aft to 135 degrees. 20. Grumman QCR-842 Infra-Red jammer: An active infra-red jamming system that "floods" the surrounding area with false IR image; Appears on IR sensors as a big, semi-fluid glob. Purpose: IR jamming. System Type: Defensive. Effect: Creates semi-fluid glob of approximately 1003 miles. Range: Approximately 1003 miles. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees area. 21. Griger-200RT Active Missile Jamming System: Creates several different fields of false active and misleading signals that missiles then fall into; Enemy missiles may prematurely detonate, or become confused and think they're off-target, when in fact they aren't. Purpose: Anti-Missile Defense. System Type: Active. Effect: 01-50: The missile thinks it's off-course, and will attempt to correct; Re-roll strike at-10. 51-00: The missile thinks it's reached the target and detonates; If it is sufficiently close enough for blast area effect, re-roll as below: Range: Begins effective coverage at 100 miles. Minimum Target Characteristic: Missiles. Coverage Characteristics: A full 350 degrees area. 22. Underbelly Pods: The EC-66 can hold up to 10 non-combat pods; Weapons pods, though they can easily fit, are never included to prevent temptation to use this as a bomber. | ||||||||||
A) TM-12 Fuel Pod: Essentially a modified version of the M-11 Torpedo Pod. In this case, however, it is used as a fuel pod to double the normal range of the craft. B) TM-14 Sonar Buoy Pod: An air-droppable sonar buoy used to assist in detecting and tracking incurring submarines for future reference. C) A-11/a Anti-Radiation Pod: A radar and other detection system jammer. Effect: While active, enemy radar will have a "wash" effect, where a large, highly unstable cloud of radar paint will appear. An experienced (5ᵗʰ level and above) radar operator can SOMETIMES use the flow of the wash to narrow down the source of the jamming, but typically this does little good. NOTE: This IS a form of radar signal, and can therefore by tracked by some ESM systems (-10%). D) A-11/v Radiation Detector Pod: This pod passively detects various types of radiation, most importantly radio signals (for eavesdropping). E) C-441 Canister Pod: Basically a hollowed out version of the TM-7 pod, used to drop highly sensitive and extensive messages. A nose-mounted device using GPS or laser detection guides the pod to within 1/8 of an inch of the intended target. | F) A-11 Tracker Pod: This simple 63 pod is an expanded version of the XTNDR RADAR/Radio Antenna Extender used on almost all UGC Destroids; The A-11 is a 25 lb. pod, released to fly independently within a 100 ft of the EC-66. A laser communications system relays the data collected from the A-11 Pod to the EC-66's computers. Because it is so much larger than the XTNDR Pod it can have a grav pod without interfering with sensors. MDC By Location: Pod: 70 Full-Force Barrier Field: 100 Grav Pod: 50 Effect: Effectively serves as a second EC-66, giving a second viewing area, doubling or tripling sensor area 3 to 4 times (or defeats other penalties in a 5 mile area). The A-11 has all the same sensors as the EC-66, except MRI and radar; The radar is a combat grade radar, with a range of 20 miles and tracking ability of 50 targets and an 80% reliability (10% against unfriendly stealthed vehicles). This system also gives the EC-66 a second view angle, so unfriendly stealthed vehicles can't hide AS easily (roll against the plane AND any pods in the air at +10% each). Due to the proximity of grav pods, MRI could not be installed. | ||||||||||
23. Optic Sensors Systems: The craft is equipped with sensors far greater than normal combat aircraft sensors. NOTE: These sensors on this craft is actually GREATER than those on spycraft. | |||||||||||
Infrared: Detects objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics. Purpose: Detection, Identification, and Tracking. Sensor Type: IR. Range: 20 miles Magnification: 30 times Minimum Target Characteristic: Not applicable. Coverage Characteristics: Full 360 degrees coverage area, with secondary focusing direct viewing. Ultra Violet: Sees in terms of a second range of light; NOTE: Some animals see in this range as well; Additionally, UV can be felt by Human eyes (damages the nerve endings). Magnification: 25 times Purpose: Detection, Identification, and Tracking. Sensor Type: UV. Range: 22 miles Minimum Target Characteristic: 00,000 Coverage Characteristics: Full 360 degrees coverage area, with general viewing only. Night Vision: A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is amplified to produce a visible picture. Magnification: 8 times Purpose: Nighttime visibility. Sensor Type: IR. Effect: Allows the operator to see as if in daylight, if late in the afternoon; The picture is full natural color. Range: 24 miles Minimum Target Characteristic: 00,000 Coverage Characteristics: Direct viewing only. | Color Filters: Allows the operator to see only one color or select only one color to see in; Typically only used at night to counteract the effects of red lights used onboard. Magnification: 200 times Purpose: Detection, Identification, and Tracking. Sensor Type: Color filtration. Effect: Filters out selected colors; only the primary colors red, blue, and yellow can be filtered, and purple, green, and orange will see be seen as more of the viewable color. Range: N/A. Minimum Target Characteristic: Based on color only. Coverage Characteristics: Toggles to the optic systems. Thermal Imager: A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +10% bonus to pilots using a tracking skill. NOTE: UGC standard defensive smoke has chemicals in it that will defeat this sensor, and the EC-66 is equipped with such smoke emitters. Magnification: 40 times Purpose: Detection, Identification, and Tracking. Sensor Type: Thermal. Range: 50 miles Minimum Target Characteristic: Can see from -400 degrees (essentially "Absolute zero") to 50,000 degrees (outer stellar range) Fahrenheit. Coverage Characteristics: Full 360 degrees coverage area, with secondary focusing direct viewing. | ||||||||||
24. Smoke Dispensers (70): This last-ditch system throws out smoke flares capable of covering a 2503 ft area. Special chemicals in the smoke obscures IR and heat sensors, and defeats visual tracking of the vehicle. Note that it DOESN'T make the vehicle invisible, but simply negates ALL bonuses to strike. Purpose: Obscuring the craft for a few moments. System Type: Active Defense. Effect: Creates a cloud of smoke that covers a 2503 ft area. Range: A 2503 ft area. Coverage Characteristics: A full 360 degrees. | |||||||||||
