I'd like to be a human. It's in Seattle.
I'd like to be avoid being useless in the meat. I haven't decided if I want to go full vehicle rigger or not. Help! |

Because passing out and then riding around snoring on a bike is (a) really lame (b) asynergistic with being good at meatspace combat. I can't speak to its lameness - you turn into a motorcycle - but can't combat be handled fairly well from VR, with vehicle-mounted weapons? A character with full VR capabilities has the option of pulling out and driving manually, while a character without full VR capabilities can only drive manually. Is the improvement in ability not worth the cost of entry, do you think? I don't see go-gangers as full VR riggers. I couldn't say why (aside from the previously mentioned motorcycle rigging issues) except that it seems to clash with the style. In my mind, a go-ganger is basically like a regular ganger, only with more emphasis on Reaction and Agility and less on Strength and Body. If I spent a lot of my time on a motorcycle, driving hard and fast, and someone gave me the ability to become that motorcycle, to feel what it feels, to turn into it, not virtually but for real, and in some cases better than real, I'd take it. But that's as much a product of my bias as your perception of style is to yours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Have a courier-style go-ganger with augmentations. Focus on Reaction, Agility and Intuition. Loosing the Control Rig is sad, but an effective Reaction 9 would compensate... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I can't speak to its lameness - you turn into a motorcycle - but can't combat be handled fairly well from VR, with vehicle-mounted weapons? Clearly the solution is to combine these ideas, and be a motorbiking ganger cyborg who literally is the bike. You see, he had REALLY good insurance. (restricted gear: Bike, mod it with a cyborg adaptation at avail18/+250,000nuyen, for the price listed in arsenal, get an epic advanced lifestyle that you can bill your medical fees to, and spend about 12bp on a contact to handle the surgery - if your gm doesn't let you start with your ware installed, like every god damn samurai is able to. Note: A CCU isn't deltaware, but acquired as an accessory to a vehicle mod with price and availability in arsenal. And 20 hits on medicine to install, but whatever.) Just pretend you're playing in a corny 80's/90's action movie, like Steel. |
