OOC:Speed Table Revision

From Jackpoint

((This page is entirely OOC))

The speed rating of a vehicle represents how fast it is in its category (groundcraft, watercraft, aircraft etc.). To change rating to an actual speed, the following adjustment is needed to be made:

Vehicle
Category	Adjustment
--------------------------
Pedestrian	+0
Watercraft	+1
Groundcraft	+2
Aircraft	+4/5*
Aerospacecraft	+5/6*
Exotic		DM Choice

*The adjustment of aircraft and aerospacecraft is the lower number in Handling environments and the higher number in Speed environments to represent the difficulty at which to maintain speed when making aerial manouvers. When moving from a Handling environment to a Speed environment in such craft, automatically lose one speed.

This means a car (groundcraft) with speed rating 4 has an effective max speed value of 6 on the chart, being capable of driving at 132 km/h. Any vehicle may accelerate up to the vehicle's rating 1 speed from rest with one acceleration.

Number	m/CT	  km/h
----------------------
 1	   2	   2.4
 2	   5	   6
 3	  12	  14.4
 4	  30	  36
 5	  70	  84
 6	 110	 132
 7	 150	 180
 8	 200	 240
 9	 250	 300
10	 400	 480
11	 600	 720
12	 800	 960
13	1000	1200
14	1300	1560
15	1600	1920

For mixed vehicle chases, the driver of the slower vehicle type requires more successes equal to the difference between their adjustment and the fastest vehicle category. The limit is increased by that amount as well. Thus, a boat pilot trying to keep up with a car using the "Catch-up" action in a hard Handling environment will need to roll Reaction + Pilot Watercraft [Handling + 1] (4) instead of it being [Handling] (3).
