so, some questions i have had for quite some time but never got around to asking anybody . .
cyber-implant-firearms: can one mod them? is there just the generic heavy pistol? only that one shot-gun? can a troll have an implanted franchi spas-22? can i get an implanted Heavy Pistol that does 10M Damage and has the firing mode of SA/BF? (yes, i know, i am horrible) other thing: how controllable is the ruthenium-polymer-stuff? can one make only certain parts of his body do the vanishing trick? or is it all or nothing? not really all that important, i just allways wondered ^^ feel free to diskuss and go off on tangents if you like *g* |

(yes, i know, i am horrible) 1. Yes, you can mod them. 2. No, there are a variety of cyber-implant-firearms in SR4 in the Cyberlimbs section. There might be more in Arse, but I'm not sure. 3. Huh? 4. GM's call 5. If you can mod it to do it, then technically yes. QUOTE other thing: how controllable is the ruthenium-polymer-stuff? can one make only certain parts of his body do the vanishing trick? or is it all or nothing? not really all that important, i just allways wondered ^^ feel free to diskuss and go off on tangents if you like *g* I've never run it that way, but I don't see why not. I always saw ruthenium providing camouflage similar to the Predator's suit from the movies and not something that's really under your control, but I don't see why someone could figure out a way to control it more carefully. Or, just make separate sheets of ruthenium so that you can "command" them to be invisible in different chunks. |

Well doesn't fluff say ruthenium is used for putting advertisements on blimps and moving logos on clothing, so I've always assumed it could display images, and chameleon suit just had it displaying images from worn sensors.
My team uses a ruthenium coated van that changes paintjob and displays cleaning company logos and maintenance company logos to disguise ourselves on entry to facilities. And if you can change your paint job and spoof your cars AID (which i assume would take over license plate) then you can lose tails pretty quick too. |

Just slave the ruthenium to your commlink (or almost any other node) and use Edit + Computer on it. Or download an image and load it up.
