Yea, but that alarm/sensor costs extra money that a megacorp might not be willing to pay in order to increase profits for a quarter. After all, the only people using the elevator should be trained and know better anyway. ;) |

Are the people who use the elevator going to weigh every box they are told to carry? If not, then they can't know the exact stress they are putting the elevator under and need some indicator. Besides, the cost of losing one load of cargo and replacing the broken elevator is much higher than putting in a drekking alarm the first time.
Much better to have the alarm, but charge any employee who sets it off a fine and a re-educational tasering. |

What kind of PC do you have? Captain centipede? You lose innumerable legs, but can still run? |

If a corp's quarterly profits depend on the few hundred nuyen it would take to alarm the elevator, the corp is in serious trouble. :grinbig: |

You think he runs a chop shop then? I'm still not sure how it cost the PC arms and legs. Oh, I know! He's been scavenging parts off his enemies, and selling them for gear! His new gun alone cost two legs and a left eyeball, right? That makes sense :) |

Depends on what else they add in to it now doesn't it? You have to remember that were talking about a completely different type of corporate mentality in SR than exists today. They would probably have all kinds of "How can we cut corners" ideas going around to save even a few cents, because when everything is talled at the end of the day... it all adds up. :) |

Yes including insurance cost the few hundred nuyen in each alarm versus several thousand nuyen per alarm over many many years. Corporations are not as short sighted as you make them out.

After hearing about some of the real life game actions rounds here and from groups I've been forced to play with from time to time you can never be sure. ;) |

PC: "Eh, nah. I'll leave that home."
GM: "...trust me, you're going to want that..." GM: "Please try not to make the shaman snap..." (NPC..he was a fair bit more powerful and had much more if not the only experience with the enemies we had to deal with. valuable shaman man it was indeed) GM: "..your family has become the object of interest to a Horror." |

You're running Food Fight and the Horned Man shaman forgets about snacks and goes straight to the chic in the tube top and cut offs.

"Do you think 400 kilos of C12 will get it done?"
said in a Bug Hive "Don't worry I put a silencer on it." Player one said after blowing open the door. "Too bad the Assault cannon shells explode." Player two "Oh...Sorry" Player one said outside Ehran's summer house "I turn on the Stealth suit." Player one "Me too" Players three through seven "Frag I hate missing out on runs." Player two after realizing that last weeks game that he missed was the source of all the stealth suits. said just inside Ehran's summer home "Alright the elf hits you for 10D plus 4 success" GM "Okay, Military grade armor Impact 10. " player two "Frag!" GM said a little further inside Ehran's summer home. "Alright I have had enough. I'm laying down 3 rounds from the enfield down the hallway. 1 meter apart cyberchoke to 10." player two "Frag!" everyone else said after facing a troll with a vindicator in Ehran's summer home "Okay mission accomplished, two coming out." player two "What happened to everyone else?" player eight "I killed them for asking too many fragging questions." player two "Gotcha, good riddance." player eight "Yeah almost a TPK and I didn't have to do a thing." GM said after delivering item in Ehran's house and finishing off Player One with his own assault cannon |
