Proposal: Opening Shop

Passed 7-1. Adminned by TDS

Add the following systems to the rule Systems:

| Targetting Module || ₩1,600 || 150 || 1 ||  Passive: Whenever another System Effect refers to the Exposed System of a Bot, it refers to the frontmost System with the lowest Condition instead (if it is facing the Bot using the Effect) or the rearmost System with the lowest Condition (if it is not).
| Lead Weight || ₩1300 || 0 || 0 || Passive: If a bot with this system would be Shoved, its Shove Power is multiplied by ten times the Condition of this system.
| Back-up Battery || ₩1300 || 0 || 0 || Passive: The Condition of the Engine on this Bot is instead calculated as the Condition of the Engine plus 25% of the Condition of this system, up to a maximum of 100%.

Adding counterplay against some strategies. Targetting system makes low Condition weapons risky again since they can be disabled easily, and Lead Weight adds some defense against shoving. Back-up battery makes taking out a bot by damaging its engine harder.

How does ‘the frontmost System with the lowest Condition’ resolve Does ‘frontmost’ have priority, or ‘lowest condition’? If a Bot has, say, a Plate at 100, an axe at 80 and a taser at 10, which gets picked?

I also don’t love all these zero-consumption Systems; especially heavy ones where the weight would be expected to add to battery load.

It’s using “frontmost” as the tiebreaker if there are multiple Systems tied for lowest Condition. A neat way to do it.

I was thinking consumption represented active power usage. We could propose a weight system to represent having to lug around a ton of stuff.

against I don’t want to try to calculate how to fight a bot with a targeting system.
