I've followed the story arcs for awhile now but only recently started playing (as a drone rigger), and I'm having some trouble with the vehicle rules.
SR3 mentions "speed ratings" in several sections, but these seem to be different than the speeds listed on the vehicle attribute sheets. I know the formula for converting kilometers-per-hour into meters-per-turn (multiply kph by .83), but converting the speeds doesn't match the book's examples. For instance, on page 142 of SR3, the example says that a Lone Star Cruiser has a speed rating of 240. But even if the car in question is a Lone Star Honda GM Turbo (the fastest lone star car I could find in the lists), that only works out to little over 160 mpt (190kph =163 mpt). Can someone help me out here? Thanks. |
