Targeting Laser

Give your rockets the benefit of our Laser Guidance Link (ADQ 2/4, and the Uncle Albert's 2035 Catalog) without the expense and space of a laser. You car do it with our new, low-power targeting laser. It's easy on your power plant, easy on your wallet, and super accurate. Now there's no reason your rockets can't enjoy higher accuracy with our new targeting laser. Note: The laser guidance link must still be purchased separately.

Targeting Laser - to hit 5, no damage, 1 DP, $1,000, 50 lbs; no space. Usable with any type of rocket with the laser guidance link. Does not drain range from a power plant, but is blocked by smoke and paint like any other laser.

Limpet Beacon

Slip one of these on an opponent's vehicle and make him a sitting duck for radar- and laser-guided weaponry! Our new Limpet Beacon attracts those heavy-hitting weapons like a magnet! He'll never know what hit him when you set him up firs with a Resnick Limpet Beacon!

Limpet Beacon - When mounted on the outside of a vehicle, the mine gives a +2 to hit for all radar- and laser-guided weapons fired at the vehicle. In addition, all laser- or radar-guided weapons that pass within 4" of an active Limpet Beacon while in flight have a 2 in 6 chance of being diverted toward the vehicle carrying the mine. If a vehicle carrying a Limpet Beacon fires such a weapon, there is no chance the weapon will return. Once a radar- or laser-guided rocket or missile is diverted from its target by a Limpet Beacon must still roll to hit the new target, with the +2 bonus mentioned before.

The Limpet Beacon must be placed on a vehicle by hand, just like a limpet mine. Each one costs $250, and must be activated (there's a small switch on the side) before it will start working. It has negligible weight or space, but does count as one grenade when carried by a pedestrian.
