Title: This Old Drone
Post by: Shanfara on <10-30-10/0929:48>: First impressions:

I dig it, a lot. A bunch of old drones. I love drones. they don't talk back, you don't have to pay them, and they're not susceptible to mind control.

I like the rules for obsolescence as well. I think technology getting older and not working as well is very cyberpunk, especially in a world like SR4 where runs take place everywhere from Lagos to Manhattan: High tech and low life OR low tech and low life.

I'm looking forward to bringing these drones into my game.

Post by: Shanfara on <11-01-10/1254:23>: I saw that. I can't imagine that's entirely correct, unless they've changed the vehicle rules and just haven't told us yet.

Or I'd add a 0 to all values.

Post by: Angelone on <11-01-10/1539:04>: Yeah, pretty sure those are typos... :( Hopefully there'll be a fix out soon. I know they are obsolete but that's going a bit too far.

Typos--they're going to be fixed. But our layout guy, who has a day job at a newspaper, has to survive election day first.

He's -still- in the dumps? Guess he never recovered from trying to turn Netcat in to the corps for the bounty. I wonder if his contacts are still talking to him...

Post by: FastJack on <11-03-10/1339:59>: Well, from all that's been written of Clockwork, he wasn't that likeable even before he tried to get the bounty on Netcat. The one write-up on him noted that he liked to bring untested equipment on runs to see how it would fare... and not tell his partners that it was untested.

Well, he is an ass (a BIG one), but he seems to pack a lot of great gear and talent for it. Maybe he chances teams and contacts more often than I change my shorts, but a rep for getting the job done is worth a lot, even if people don't invite you to dinner parties.

I would guess the Mule would be "large" (comparable in size to the Lynx)? The MQ-1 Predator is labelled "Medium", so my GUESS is the Fire Scout too is "Medium".

Hope you enjoy the artists' work.
