MDC BY LOCATION:

NOTES:

1. Destroying the head of the AFC-01I; will knock out the mecha's major sensor systems, including all of the optics systems (infrared, nightvision, thermal). Radar and communications will be unaffected.
2. Depleting the MDC of the tail fins will, in Armo-Fighter mode, make the Legioss all but unfly-able.
3. Depleting the MDC of the wings will, in Armo-Fighter mode, cause the Legioss to crash in a Earth-like atmosphere. Changing modes is recommended.
4. Destroying the Sensor Pod will cripple the Legioss's tracking system and Radar. If the head has also being destoryed reducing the mecha's effectiveness in Armo-Fighter and Armo-Diver modes and making the pilot almost totally blind in Armo-Soldier

WEAPON SYSTEMS:

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE AFC-01-

• AUTO-PILOT: The Legioss is equipped with a computerized auto-pilot, allowing the pilot to relax or even sleep during long voyages. The auto-pilot can be programmed with a single destination or a complex flight plan involving multiple speeds, directions, and destinations. The onboard computer will alert the pilot when the fighter is near its destination, and can also be set to automatically signal when sensors detect objects near the mecha. The auto-pilot was designed with long intra-system space journeys in mind.
• COMBAT COMPUTER: The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 10,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 250 targets simultaneously. 
• EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
• HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening head and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
• HOMING SIGNAL: The escape pod of the AFC-01 Series is equipped with a homing device that enables rescue teams to locate a disabled craft or ejected life pod. The range of the signal is 400 miles (640 km). All Mars Base ships and Armo Fighters can locate and track a homing signal, and the onboard computers will automatically notify their pilots if such a signal is detected.
• LASER TARGETING SYSTEM: Range: 100 miles (160 km). Used for increased accuracy in the striking of enemy targets and is partly responsible for the mecha's strike bonus.
• LOUDSPEAKER: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
• OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
• OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
• OPTICS: THERMAL IMAGER: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color 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.
• RADAR: 100 mile range.
• RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
• SELF-DESTRUCT: To prevent capture of an armo-fighter by the enemy, the pilot can activate the AFC-01 self-destruct system, which will cause the fighter to explode after a delay of up to 60 minutes (time is set by the pilot). The explosive damage is contained within a 20 foot (6 m) area and inflicts 1D6x10 M.D. to everything within the radius of the explosion. If the Legioss has most of it's missiles unfired (atleast 40 or more) the explosive damage will be increased to 2D6 X 100 M.D. in a 50ft(15.2m) radius. All internal systems are obliterated. The escape pod or ejector seat will be automatically ejected prior to the explosion unless the pilot overrides the ejection sequence. As the Inbits rarely salvage human mecha, the system is often used as a spoil sport tactic against bandits if the pilot is forced down.
• STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All Mars Base fighters come equipped with a portable survival kit. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.) The box can be attached to the rear of a Ride Armor.
• TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The AFC-01 cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot's combat armor that provides him with pressurized breathing. The CVR-3 also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot's blacking out in combat.
• Chaff and Flare dispensers: 24 chaff and 24 flares are stored in the lower legs
• Smoke Dispensers:
