Hi Steve, I'm trying to come up with the mechanics for a bunker buster missile weapon, using Tunneling to represent its ability to penetrate fortifications and RKA Explosion for the actual warhead going off. Is having the two powers Jointly-Linked sufficient to account for the explosion not occurring until after the missile has finished tunneling its full distance into a structure/obstruction (and therefore affecting the interior without having to break through the exterior's BODY first), or would I need to add a Trigger as well?
For reference I currently have it written up as follows:
Tunneling 6m through 10 PD material, OAF (-1), Instant (-1/2), Linked (-1/4), 2 Charges (-1 1/2) plus RKA 4d6, Area Of Effect (26m Radius Explosion; +1/2), Armor Piercing (+1/4); OAF (-1), Linked (-1/4), 2 Charges (-1 1/2)
If it needs a Trigger, I assume the (+1/4) level would be appropriate, possibly with Misfire to indicate a chance of the ordinance going off immediately upon contact (or if the missile is otherwise damaged by accident)?
