Scaling programs and hardware over 6. Examples are given in Unwired for up to 9 I believe but no costs or availability. UV Nodes state that rating 10 minimum system. This leads me to believe in keeping with current rating system for cost and availability 1-3/4-6 that it would continue as such 7-9/10-12. Now In some ways I understand why they only hinted at these ratings for hard and software but as at least one current player has made abundently clear, if it's mentioned a player is going to want it. Now I in no way advocate giving him any of this stuff off the shelf and it will either be incredibly costly or take a serious run to retrieve. But as a guideline I'm curious how folks would stat its cost/availability. Currently for software I'm scaling is rating 7-9 x (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 10,000 and rating 10-12 x (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 100,000. Availability not really needed at its more of a plot point. Something similar for hardware but it doesn't scale so cleanly due to low ratings being so cheap respectively.
Now onto "Why can't I make/program it, I have a 7 skill, run a cracker gang and am worth several hundred K?" Well other then interval time constraints whats a GM to do? |
