I know that bullet trains now, are incredibly fast, but what would dumpshock's guess be at one's speed in 2072? How do you think they'd be driven? Riggers or Pilot programs? Would they have rigger adaptations? I'm planning my next mission around travel along the bullet train that stations in Tacoma at The Grand Royer Station and I'm wondering about alot of things. Like how long it would take before they gout out of the southern border of Seattle? Or, would jumping off of one be possible? (Doubting that, but you never know) Just trying to figure out things that may eventually come into play. Anyone have any ideas?
