A test site for attaching the new IPC changes to the IPC page. This is purely mechanics, not lore.

Mechanics

  • Unique internal organs of a mechanical nature.

Advanced interior repair

IPCs possess their own set of internal organs, the locations and identities of which are as follows (Organs with their name in bold are vital - removing it will kill the IPC!):

  • Positronic brain - Head. When damaged enough, the IPC will completely cease function, never to return. It slowly heals over time, but cannot be repaired manually. When it heals, it will suffer fragmentation, akin to organ scarring which will cause roleplay scenarios. Fragmentation is not repairable in round. (NOTE: Removing this will only kill the IPC chassis, not the posibrain itself. The brain will function like a normal posibrain however you will be unable to re-activate the frame which the positronic was removed from!.)
  • Microbattery - Chest. Regulated power in an IPC. This means it is essential, if it gets damaged bad things happen.
  • Cooling Unit - Keep you cool and prevents you melting.
  • Reactor - Generates and stores the power which keeps the IPC functional. comes in three flavours:
    • Electric: The classic generator. Charges off external source quickly.
    • Bio-reactor: Eat food to charge. Can charge from external sources slowly.
    • Solar: Generate power in light. Can charge from external sources slowly.
  • Access Port - Contains you access cable, which allows you to connect to things, and is also a port which allows things to be slot in (such as overloaders). If damaged, the cable may be effected and the slot blocked off.
  • Hydraulics - Groin. Allows the IPC to move it's legs. When damage, will cause leg malfunctions and even higher power usage on movement. Complete destruction stops legs working at all.
  • Arm Actuators - Arm (one per arm). Allows the arms to move. Damage will cause malfunctions, while destruction will completely stop the arm working.
  • Voice Synthesizer - Creates the voice of the IPC, allowing it to talk. Damage will garble the speech, destruction will prevent any talking at all.
  • Optical sensor - Head. Allows the IPC to see.
  • IPC Identification Tag - Head. Provides a unique ID string and records ownership infomation. This is technically an optional organ, however any IPC without it is breaking Corporate Regulations

Special Organs

Some organs are only available to specific frames:

  • Wireless Access Point (Bishop Only): Allows remote connection to machines like an AI and features an internal PDA.
  • Internal Storage (G1 Only): Functions as an internal satchel.

All IPC organs have three different damage bars:

  • Plating is the external protection of organcs. They prevent damage from the outside and soak up damage.
  • Electronics and Wiring will recieve damage once the plating is gone. As they get damaged, organ function degrades and potentially even ceases.
  • IPC are vulnerable to burst damage. Taking a large amount of internals damage in a short time will cause wrose effects depending on the amount, from stunning them to even flooring the.
  • IPCs are vulnerable to EMPs, which cause direct organ damage (though does not instantly drain them of battery)
