I created some more tidbits. If anyone has some comments here, they'd be
greatly appreciated! (I'm going to submit this stuff to GDW for their RSCS
equipment guide - most of it is low TL to match the stuff my players are
running into.)
Printer, toner: a portable monochrome printer that works by fusing toner
to the printing medium - either paper or specially prepared plastics.
The medium is not immediately recycable, but does last quite well. Toner
cartridges cost Cr80 and last for 5000 sheets.
TL Vol Weight Price
8 19 liters 10 kg Cr4,500
8 6 liters 4.7 kg Cr3 (1000sheets paper)
Printer, toner (color): a portable color printer that works by fusing
colored toner to the printing medium - either paper or specially
prepared plastics. The medium is not immediately recycable, but does
last quite well. Toner cartridges cost Cr120 and generally last for 4000
sheets. Normal paper is Cr3 for 1000 sheets.
TL Vol Weight Price
9 28 liters 10 kg Cr12,000
Printer, electric: a portable monochrome printer that utilizes an
immediately recycable medium - polyvellum. The machine uses electrical
charges to oxidize polymerized molecules to create defined print areas.
Polyvellum can be immediately reused in the printer as well, and is only
slightly thicker than cellulose based paper. Polyvellum costs Cr20 for
500 sheets.
TL Vol Weight Price
9 10 liters 6 kg Cr5,500
9 6 liters 6 kg Cr20 (1000sheets polyvellum)
Printer, electric (color): a portable color printer that utilizes a
variant of polyvellum. Electrical charges set oxidation states in
polymerized molecules, showing different colors depending on state.
Polyvellum can be immediately reused in the printer as well, and is only
slightly thicker than cellulose based paper. The colorized Polyvellum
costs Cr50 for 500 sheets.
TL Vol Weight Price
9 12 liters 6.5 kg Cr15,000
9 6 liters 6 kg Cr50 (1000sheets polyvellum color)
VR set, immersive: a light weight helmet and gloves used for immersive
virtual reality at lower tech levels. The helmet covers the face with
high resolution display and the gloves are tied into the helmet and a
small computer optimized to receive input and display graphics. The TL13
model includes major decreases in size due to using a smaller computer -
built into the helmet, and a heads up holodisplay.
TL Vol Weight Price
9 1 liter 0.8 kg Cr6,500
13 .3 liters 0.6 kg Cr7,000
VR holosuite: With the technological breakthrough in holocrystal storage
and more popular hand held holodevices, small holosuites have come into
being. Essentially a small (0.5m^3) holodisplay on a 10cm tall base with
holographic linked controls. The base includes a TL13 (or TL15) flt computer
optimized to function as an interface between the controls, holodisplay, and
host computer.
TL Vol Weight Price Power
13 150 liters 40 kg Cr44,000 25kw
15 150 liters 10 kg Cr44,000 10kw
