Armory

The Armory is where you will find all of the weapons, armor, gadgets, ammunition and other gear that your character can use. Nearly all items have some monetary cost associated with them, as well as Properties that further define their uses.

If you are looking to buy vehicles, check the vehicles section.

In 2308, there are two main types of equipment: Generic equipment and Branded equipment.

Generic Equipment
The vast majority of items that characters can purchase are of the generic variety. Generic items are those which are common to the point of ubiquity and are manufactured by a variety of companies all over the solar system. This includes items such as unarmored softsuits, Pocket Computers as well as reproductions of conventional, 21st century firearms. When you choose a generic item to purchase, you can either use the stats that are presented for the item, or you can pick a real-life analogue and modify them accordingly.

For example, if you want your character to specifically use a FAMAS, you would use the Assault Rifle stats and simply lower the magazine capacity from 30 to 25.

Branded Equipment
In general, branded equipment is meant for RPGs at higher power levels or characters who manage to progress a great deal. Branded equipment is far more powerful and far more expensive than its generic counterparts. Mostly, branded equipment includes high-tech items such as hardsuits, firearms capable of loading +C (Charged) ammunition, and other futuristic things with no real-life equivalent.

Branded items are usually created when you purchase an item with an Applied Property to create a far more powerful and costly variant, such as a vibrosword or heat axe. The only difference between a generic item and a branded item is that branded items always use the stats present in the Armory and cannot be substituted. The Game Master will decide when an item can or can not have its stats substituted.

Size and Carrying Capacity
All items have a size that denotes how bulky and difficult to carry they are. Although you can own any number of items and keep them in your house or in a vehicle, you can only carry a certain amount of stuff on your person at any given time. Your Carrying Capacity is equal to the sum of your Size and Physique.

There are storage items and containers available that can help improve the amount of things you can carry.
