Huh.  So, how much does a guitar cost, anyway? Oo;

I'd say 500 nuyen for run of the mill and 3000 for high end models, Kuno.

OK. I *think* I have my Drone Rigger built with 400 BP. It's a pretty big list so Im going to try to give it some sensibilities.
The Core Book said that the Nissan Dobermans came equipped with weapons, so I chose the Ingram White Knights.

-Looks like my guy can fill in for wheelman, physical security breaker, and combat in a pinch.
-My eye cyber has been placed inside my real eyes so if there is an EMP, I still got meat vision.
-Weapons and Clothing are low-profile. The Armor Jacket is for combat-risk missions.
-Funny that it looks like a *Lot* of gear, but most can be fit into a jacket and satchel on a belt. The larger drones sit on a wall in the van.

Any insight into better choices are welcome.

I talked it out with Melnibone over PMs, and he's fine with me having one that cost 1,450.

The Core Book said that the Nissan Dobermans came equipped with weapons, so I chose the Ingram White Knights.

P. 106 of Arsenal lists the Doberman as having Walker Mode, Weapon Mount (external, remote-controlled turret), and Clearsight 3 and Targeting 3 autosofts.

No mention of any weapons, but then it also says the Lone Star iBall isn't able to move under its own power, so... >>;

Just remember to always send the semi-expendable drones in first, and you'll be fine. ;D

Quote from: NotoriusBEN on March 28, 2010, 09:56:17 PM
-My eye cyber has been placed inside my real eyes so if there is an EMP, I still got meat vision.

Arsenal p. 57 states that most electronics in 2070 are optical based, and thus relatively unaffected by EMP blasts.  Cyberware (or most of it, anyway,) is explicitly included in this, though power supplies, anything linked to an antenna or electric cable, and older/cheaper devices are all explicitly stated to be vulnerable.

-Weapons and Clothing are low-profile. The Armor Jacket is for combat-risk missions.

Actually, since it doesn't have an R or an F in its availability code, you could easily get away with wearing your Armor Jacket on the street in lower-security neighborhoods. ^^; No one would even look twice.

Well, since it's a walker, the Doberman might need a Maneuver (Anthroform) autosoft, and I'm pretty sure the autosofts are loaded onto the individual drones rather than kept on your commlink...

Aside from that, nothing immediately jumps out at me.

NotoriusBEN

Dammit... looks like Arsenal beats out the Core Book p341 for the equipped weapon. >.<
Whelp, time to figure out where to allot the money now >.>;

-Ok then, sold and bought some things, know I should be legal.
The iBall has limited mobility. It's a ball bearing that cant climb up stairs and possibly gets stuck on gravel.
-Facepalm, right I forgot about the EMP deal. Still, myself personally I dont think I could give up all of my natural vision.
-Puts on Armor Jacket

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The FSO (Florida's Sheriff's Office)  agressively enforces contraband laws regarding weapons and other nasty hardware, but offer licenses at half the cost of the those listed in the book to registered tourists and residents of the Caribbean League.

If you're a SINner or have a good fake ID, you can get permits cheaply. If you're not, you'll usually be ignored in the sprawl, but risk drawing swift attention in Miami Beach.

Those unable to pay their fines within 24 hours are sent to work farms growing sugar and produce for the region, and you'll have your gear confiscated in any case. Officers seizing illegal goods make 10% of the net proceeds when contraband is sold at auction. Those who make regular or large seizures often zoom up the ranks. They have no incentive to let you off easy.

NotoriusBEN

Alrighty. I'll keep my Fake ID's at the prices they are at. Wheeler had to skip Seattle with LoneStar fast on his heels.
Good news for when I need to buy new ones though. And I forgot a couple contacts in Miami... adding those.

I'm considering altering the Street Index to reflect how Miami is different from Seattle, the default setting, but I'll leave it alone for now.

I'll be nice. Contacts on the other side of continent cost half. They're not exactly going to help you quickly or cheaply, unless distance is no object to the nature of the relationship.

Kunoichi

Half price, huh?  In that case, I guess I can afford to get a good fake license for both of my character's fake IDs. ^^

Anyway, since Mel's already approved my character via PMs, it probably wouldn't hurt to post her here...

We have two approved characters right now. We're short on fighty or covert ops types, so feel free to work one up.

Kunoichi

Actually, I daresay we could get by without a combat-centric type rather easily. ^^; We'll probably be actively avoiding combat anyway...

NotoriusBEN

if it isnt obvious Im still interested in playing shadowrun. Is it possible to pm the others that said they had interest earlier in the thread? or is that considered bad etiquette nowadays?

Jean Nguyen?

*is curious*

Raveled

It's a Cryptonomicon in-joke. Adept gunslinger with a particular hatred of the mega-corps.

Ah.  I haven't read Cryptonomicon, so of course I wouldn't get it. ^^;

NotoriusBEN

I was thinking about getting the Cryptonomicon, but then I saw Neuromancer and I was like "Hey! Gibson book"  Is Cryptonomicon a decent read? or is it a little dry?

Behemoth

Meet Azrael - my character proposal,

He's big, he's bad, he's ugly and he likes to stalk and kill things with his bare hands. Obviously he's a close combat specialist. His major flaw, (apart from a TOTAL lack of social graces) is that he's pretty much useless at ranged combat. In social situations he'd be ok at intimidating folks, but apart from that he's the kind guy who will probably stand watch or stay in the van when the group's dealing with Mr Johnson. He has a bit of a *thing* for beautiful blond elven women (let's face it, who doesn't?), eats a LOT and loves to fight.

I'm not sure he'd be that interested in going on tour with your band (or helpful for that matter, although he could work 'security'?), but he's handy in a fight and can be reasonably sneaky when he tries REALLY hard.

Sorry, i thought the group was looking a little too *nice* and needed an orc with some grunt :-)

Thanks.

Yeay, more characters.

I was planning on starting the game tonight, Friday, at about 6 or 7 EST pm. Is everyone cool with that? We can play by post instead of playing on IRC for the first session if you like.
