In General...
The following is specific to the campaigns set in Sector M45-3 in 2069. The general outline, however, can be applied to other games set in different locales in the same time period.

Basic NUNS and Zentrādi materials

  • commonly available.
  • available at low costs.
  • Advanced NUNS and Zentrādi materials

  • less available.
  • when available, they are usually worn out and moderate to highly priced.

  • Current NUNS and Zentrādi materials

  • rarely available.
  • expensive—but almost always fresh from the factory (unused).

    Destroids
    Military Destroids

  • not very common, but still available in limited numbers.
  • most are worn-out, ancient examples, but buyers may find next to brand-new models at current Destroid specs (E.g.: Cheyenne II, ADR-04-Mk XV S-Defender) for sky-high prices.
  • Civilian Converted Destroids

  • in general, the older the model, the rarer it is.
  • the models converted in larger quantities (E.g. MBR-07-Mk II Spartan) may be available at levels between the availability of the VF-1 and the VF-11.

  • Destroid Works and other Work Destroids

  • commonly available.
  • worn-out or otherwise used models available at low cost.
  • new or next to brand-new models available at moderate to expensive prices.

    Valkyries
    VF-11 & VF-14

  • becoming more and more unavailable, as most were sold off before the Unified Forces transitioned into NUNS.
  • worn-out or otherwise heavily used models available at low cost. Less used models available at moderate cost.
  • VF-171

  • starting to become commonly available, as NUNS really begins selling off older airframes.
  • available at moderate to high costs. Brand-new models available at sky-high prices.

  • VF-1 & VA-3

  • not very common, but still available in limited numbers.
  • most are worn-out, ancient examples, but buyers may find next to brand-new models at current Valkyrie specs (E.g.: VF-1X++, VA-3M) for sky-high prices.
  • Other VFs

  • not very common, but still available in limited numbers.
  • Ones produced in larger quantities (E.g. VF-5000, VF-9) may be available at levels between the VF-11 and VF-171.

    Zentrādi Mobile Weapons
    Some of the Zentrādi in the Control Zone have successfully adapted human technologies into existing Mobile Weapon designs. They've enacted the following modifications:

    Full-size (Giant) Pilots

  • Enhanced Energy Conversion Armour: effectively doubles the MDC.
  • Countermeasures Dispensers: full compliment of chaff, flares, and smoke.

  • Commonly available inside the Zentrādi Control Zone. Not very common to rarely available outside the zone.
  • Extremely low cost inside the Zentrādi Control Zone, low to moderate cost outside the zone..
  • In general, the Mobile Weapons produced in larger quantities (E.g. Rigādo, Jināru) are more available and cheaper than the ones produced in lower quantities (E.g. Quadoran-Rō, Gurāji).
  • Miclone (Human)-sized Pilots

  • Enhanced Energy Conversion Armour: effectively doubles the MDC.
  • Countermeasures Dispensers: full compliment of chaff, flares, and smoke.
  • My-clone-sized Cockpit: cockpit block from the VF-11 or similar bolted onto the full-size Zentrādi pilot's seat.
  • PPB Capacitors in the cockpit section: enables a comparatively limited PPB.

  • not very common inside the Zentrādi Control Zone. Rare outside the zone.
  • moderate cost inside the Zentrādi Control Zone, high cost outside the zone.
  • In general, Mobile Weapons without the PPB Capacitors cost significantly less.
  • Some Mobile weapons are never or almost never converted for Miclone-sized pilots (E.g. Quadoran-Rō, Gurāji) simply because they are so rare to begin with.
