CANISTER E-CLIP
The Canister E-Clip, or CE-Clip, is an advanced version of the
common power source for high-technology
devices and weapons. Designed by, and currently unique to, the Coaltion
this innovation is only suitable for a few weapons, specially designed
to accept this new clip. Each weapon uses the charge in a Canister
E-Clip at
different rates and in some cases different ways. Generally, most
weapons have a set number of shots that they gain with any form of
E-Clip, the canister is in addition to a normal E-Clip (or Long
E-Clip). After the Canister E-Clip has made shots available to it, it
will require
recharging.
Recharging a Canister E-Clip should be only undertaken at a Coalition
recharging station in a coalition base. It is considered ilegal to try
and charge a CE-Clip without full authority to do so. Of course, the
Black Market may be able to offer ilegal means to recharge a CE-Clip,
but for a price. It is also
possible for a character with the Weapons Engineer Skill to recharge a
Canister
E-Clip given access to the correct equipment and a power source to
charge from. The time taken to recharge a Canister E-Clip depends on
the power
of the power source and the efficiency of the recharging equipment. (By
default, an empty Canister E-Clip takes around 1D6 hours to recharge at
a
recharging station, and possibly 1D12+1 hours when just using only
scavenged parts, with a power source and Weapons Engineer skill only.)
