I've been reading through some of the newer supplements, like Unfriendly Skies, Mil Spec Tech, and to a certain extent WAR!, and a question has been cropping up.
A lot of the vehicles and even some of the equipment are so expensive in game terms that the average runner couldn't possibly afford them, doubly so if you use the standard pay scheme in the core books. So, what would you use these things for? I think it's a good idea to have stats for these kinds of vehicles for the GM, but I mean what runner would have the need or opportunity for a hover tank? I can see the use in military games, but then why the vast variety, why not just have one big book of expanded vehicles with archetypes of vehicles? |
