Agreed. This looks like a 'training wheels' edition, that you can use to introduce someone to the setting, and then shift over to something like 5E or 4E. Like how D&D 5E is best used as training wheels for D&D 3.X.

Question for you, Wakshaani: what do Smart Tires do?

A few vehicles, the Thundercloud Mustang being one of them, are listed as having them as standard equipment, but their function is not listed anywhere. The SR4 description doesn't quite translate over easily, and it'd be nice to have a response to this for Missions where handling tests are actually required (and I'm assuming here that tires relate to handling somehow).

Not sure! It's not from my work. It's on teh FAQ that went upstairs, tho.

My *guess* would be "Reduces maneuver penalties by (an amount)" but I don't knwo for certain.

Ah, no worries. By FAQ do you mean Errata, or is there a FAQ document intend for public consumption in the works, or something else entirely?

Me gathering up questions, errata notes, and more, from, like, five different locations, compiling them all, then sending them upstairs. I don't know when corrections will come down from on high, but, I tried to push everythig I could find up there for resolution.

Hey, Wak. I want to say thanks for all your work trying to make SR not only by writing the fiction and rules, but actually coming here putting up with this communities crap and trying to help fix what is broken. I know I am one, among many, who has bitched about lack of errata and official responses, but again thank you for all your hard work and putting up with our crap.

It's my pleasure! I'm a fan first, and I want the game to be the best it can be. That means fixing it when we mess up and it means owning it when I screw up.

You're allowed to make mistakes... you just gotta learn from it and do better next time.

Still a long way to go, but we're gettin' there.

Here is a sort of crunch vs fluff question that Wakshaani might be able to answer. How many actual seats is the bulldog suppose to have. the crunch stat lines says it have 6 seats but some of the fluff seems to indicate that it doesn't have any passenger seating at all any other then the driver have to sit on the floor in the back.

Fabe, you mean you've never seen someone yank out all the seats in their van to have extra cargo space?

Well its just this bit from the description of the ford econovan

While most riggers tent to go with the bulldog or governor ,the econovan has something important they do not: seats

   So that just got me thinking,does the bulldog lack passenger seating or is this just more fluff that clashes with the rules?

I, personally, use the seats given as general metahuman sizes space to shove runners into. Sorry Trolls (and their ilk), you take double the "seats", unless it was built for them in which case us normal size folk only take up half a "seat".

I didn't do ground vehicles, so I can't give you the intent there.

Before we were doing RIgger 5, I was working on vehicle stuff for myself, and seating was one I kept kicking around. My version was probably too fiddly, and I was using the classic "Body is your mods" way, which is different than the actual designer went with. I had:

Bench Seat
Bucket Seat (Standard)
Bucket Seat (Large)
Bucket Seat (Troll)
Bucket Seat (Dwarf)
Rigger Cocoon

There should be one or two more in that, but this is off the top of my head. Bench seats let you squeeze another person in (as long as you were friendly), but the middle position didn't have a seat belt and being cramped wasn't fun. Buckets were normal in the front, and you could replace one bench with two normal buckets, or upgrade a normal bucket to a Large at a smallhit to your mods (1) ... Troll-sized seats required you to remove a seat entirely (Either the passenger seat for smaller cars or to convert the back bench to a single bucket on the passenger side) Dwarf seating took up a little *less* space, unless it was for the driver, since additional gear would be needed to convert it to one that they could drive.

Again, a tad fiddly.

I might just be a reference to the Evonovan having 10 seats compared to the Bulldogs 6 seats
