And while we´re at it: How about something like this?

Device Resurrection (Complex Form): The Technomancer channels his Resonance Powers into a bricked device (Note: Not a thrashed one, just one with filled matrix condition monitor) to make it miraculously work again at his command. To accomplish this, he has to touch the device and reach a Threshold of Device Rating / Pilot Rating. The resurrected device will come online at the end of of the Combat Round and will obey the Technomancer as if (s)he is the the rightfull owner. Any point of Matrix damage dealt to the device reduces the number of the CF´s hits instead. When either the device or the Technomancer lose their Matrix connection or the Complex Form is dropped, killed or reduced to Zero, the effect ends and the device is bricked again.

Yay! Zombie Drones!

I think jury rigger quality let's you use bricked devices for a little bit.

So, it's been four months...  I hope this book is still in the works.

I'm sure some people as well have mentioned that this book shouldn't concern itself with "Well this already works this way, we can't just change it!" when the existing books already have redundant material or stuff that just makes other things obsolete.  I say, "That's BS, just do what needs to be done".  Like making echoes that just overwrite some of the crap ones in Data Trails...  Data Trails started overwriting stuff first!

Wow, really? 8 days? And this is not the first time someone asked if the project ist still active. Is there some kind of "devs don´t deal with peasants"-policy we still have to figure out?

It would be nice to know if this book is still happening or if this is all just turning into a big houserules discussion

I suspect it's because people not directly working on it fall into either the "NDA prohibits me" camp or, like me, the, "I have no idea so I can't contribute anything meaningful" camp.

they really need to to work on their Public relations....

[firebug]

I don't mind as long as the end result is an honest attempt to make up for disappointing the fans/customers when it came to technomancers in the core book and Data Trails.

Some peoples' projects get worked on for years, guys.  And at a certain point, yeah, you can't talk about it.  And sometimes - like, for me, it would've been after page 3, because pretty much after that point it was just a cyclic debate - you just stop reading the thread, because people are responding to the first post, and all the suggestions are either a) identical, or b) contradictory.  So you wind up shrugging and going on with what you think needs to be done, and ignoring the angry masses, because if you spend your time here, you wouldn't be spending it writing the proposal.

So really?  Eight days?  Question it after eight months.

[Finstersang]

Yeah, you´re kinda right...

Still, it´s not that people are wondering what exactly will be implemented in the book.

It´s the fact that some actually have the strong suspicion that the project is silently abandoned. Which should be kind of a red flag for the people working on it, because it means that many are beyond frustration and straight in the "screw that, TMs will always be a mess"-zone. It´s been just 8 days since someone asked this question the last time, but we´re talking about 4 month, the entire time this thread exists, without any lifesigns. I´m just wondering if we´re all beating a dead horse here.

Then again, I guess nothing stops us from doing so and post more suggestions and ideas. If they really abandon the book (or half-ass it just as badly as the TM "chapter" in Data Trails or try to force-feed us CFD Fluff instead of usable Crunch), we´d still have a nice repository for houserules.
