So hovervehicles (i.e. vehicles that fly through the air) have been a presence in Shadowrun since at least 3rd edition New Seattle, displayed on the front cover. However, no stats or even a single rule have been seen about these elusive vehicles (that I can find at least). A T-Bird is similar but not quite what I'm going for. What or where would I find information about flying cars/trucks? Is there any speculation if they will be added to the canon with some solid stats through the sourcebooks?
Also, page 126 under the Pilot skill of Pilot Exotic Vehicle skill states "This skill is used for exotic vehicles such as undersea sleds, personal lifters, jet packs, hot-air balloons, etc." Where are the rules and what are the stats for jet packs? Will these be added as well? Was it a deleted vehicle because of space or just put in there as a teaser? I'm asking because I've done some preliminary mock-ups of what I think the stats for a jet pack and hover vehicle would be in SR4. Just wondering if I need to scratch them out or not. |
