Hi,
SR4A has a price for "City Transport: Commuter Air", and various Shadowrun artwork has occasionally depicted the "flying car". Now I don't take the artwork as authoritative and flying cars like in Blade Runner don't fit, but I can't find any suitable vehicles that would be "Air Taxis". One of the PC's contacts is a flying taxi service - they've used him twice now and I've been keeping the description of his vehicle vague, except that it has VTOL capability. Can anyone tell me what would be appropriate or what has been used in the past. I looked for the Rigger books as PDF, but apparently they haven't been released. I note the Federated Boeing Commuter in SR4A, listed as an Inter-city shuttle. Semantically, that means between cities, intra-city shuttles are what I'm looking for, I guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Any suggestions? At any moment, this could become important in my game and I need to make a decision on how flying around the city will work. Thanks, K. |
