And it only costs 114,340 nuyen! That's one way to spend almost half of your Gear BP, I suppose.

Unfortunately, the Arsenal Errata works against you. On the plus side, it states that Chameleon Coating is only 1 slot, not 2. On the negative, Lighter Than Air is restricted to vehicles with Body 16 or less. Your bus can't fly, I'm afraid.

You could swap out the Vista for the Ford Buffalo, which has 16 Body and thus can fly. It also has the benefit of being an RV, and thus is already essentially a mobile house.

Chameleon Coating being 1 slot drops you to 18. Not needing Amenities drops you to 17.  Then just take out a weapon mount or something else can drop you below 16. The cost is roughly the same as well, thanks to the various things that are just multiples of Body.

Alternatively, just say 'screw it' and go with the 'runner staple, the GMC Bulldog.

GMC Bulldog Step-Van 20 slots 35,000
Lighter than Air 1 slot 6,400
Lock-on counter measures 1 slot 5,000
Improved Sensor Array 1 slot 1,000
Missile Defense System 1 slot 10,000
Rigger adaptation 1 slot 2,500
Weapon mount 1 normal sized remote controlled turret 4 slots 6,500
Signature Masking 6 6 slots 12,000
Improved Economy 1 slot 1,125
Chameleon Coating 1 slot 16,000
Amenities Middle 1 slot 100

2 remaining slots free, 95,625 total nuyen cost.

Considering you're in mid air and have the maneuverability of a...well...of a van strapped to a blimp, you're gonna want a turret weapon mount rather than a Flexible one. All you have to do is mount a Laser to it, and one turret is just as effective as two machine guns at shooting down incoming missiles.

Though to be honest, if you're doing it right, you should never need your fancy defense system, with Signature Masking 6 and Chameleon Coating changing you to look like the surrounding sky, it should be next to impossible for anything to spot your floating abode.

Operating time:  5 days.

Hey, if you're gonna go so far as to make a flying house, ya might as well dig around and find some way to make those amenities the 'Luxury' ones. You're livin' in style in the air, so you might as well live really big up there too.   8) :D

For Luxury Amenitys costs 4 slots and 10,000 so for about 20,000 it could be done.

Just remember that even with all those no-see-ums, it's going to be tough completely avoiding attention.  Find a tramp freighter or something and make Puget your home ...

Excellent idea. Make it look like an old wreck that has hit a small island or some such but for emergency moves have it still be sea worthy. Lots of space to squatter in, easy to spot approaching enemies and away from the noise of the city (yeah a sub is a real danger but everybody should be afraid of the attack submarine anyway).
Nobody would give a frack about it and it should be fairly easy to come and go either with a small fast boat or from the air (Invisibility + Levitate = Are we there yet?).

The only problem is what to do with the vehicles you used on the job? Cheap rides with a dump and burn policy keep the forensics down but that cuts into profits unless you steal all the vehicles first and run spoof chip and morphin plates pull them before the dump and  burn.

I guess that depends on how fast you can pull the security hack on the vehicle.  Me, I find that putting a personal machine some distance from the action, then going parkour all over the place (Great Leap helps loads) with an assistance from an area knowsoft to get to it will tend to leave the opposition wondering where the hell you went ...

A Tata Hotspur has two seats. Not much room for a house.
