How much did all of that cost?

My records have me spending 23,550. But, that didn't include my OS or Program software

For Ochir to get tacsoft rating 4 it will take on average three to four weeks and would coast 12,600:nuyen:
Roll at three weeks

Thanks,
Brent

That would be for a legal version. For a cracked version from a pre-existing or newly acquired Warez contact it would be [Data Search + Browse (24, 1 Combat Turn)].

If he doesn't already know a Warez group he can find one with [Data Search + Browse (8, 1 Day)].

That's 12 seconds, for Jake. Ask the right man, Crizh.

For a rating 4 anyone who is to benifit from it would need 8 inputs...for us non-cybered folk that seems like quite a bit. Can anyone suggest how Charlie could participate in something like that?

Simrig.

Sorry.

You're there, you could always chip in if the Fixer says it's a no go.

[Shalimar]

Simrig.

Yea with the simrig she could connect in, but what senses woud she provide? Do regular senses count for it when using a simrig? With the simrig and glasses she could give her sight, low light, enhanced vision, smartgun, and sense of smell. Thats only 6 unless taste and touch count which I would kind of doubt. Its enough for a rating 3 though.

[Tarantula]

They only count if you're actually using them to perceive the guy, so unless you plan to be touching an tastin everyone all the time.....

[DWC]

Unwired lists audio, video, and olifactory, along with things like low-light, but omits touch and taste, for understandable reasons. Licking walls doesn't help you kill people.

Getting everyone to 8 channels is pretty easily doable, it just takes some planning.

[Shalimar]

Then yea, I think rating 3 would be about the best everyone could benifit from, and that would be a strectch for a lot of us.

[crizh]

As I understand it if you don't have enough sensor channels you are downgraded to the Rating your number of channels will support but everyone else that does have enough channels gets the full rating.

As it would only cost an extra 500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) there is no reason not to buy the highest Rating.

[DWC]

You're not downgraded. You're dropped completely.

[Shalimar]

You're not downgraded. You're dropped completely.

Which was my initial reasoning for suggesting a lower rated system.

[crizh]

You're not downgraded. You're dropped completely.

Yup, I was indeed full off crap.

However, 8 channels ain't that hard. Looking at my sheet I've got 11 or 12 depending on the situation.

[Shalimar]

So what do Jake's security recommendations boil down to for Julie? She has 5k-6k to implement any of it. I'll take anyone's suggestions for that matter.

[bmcoomes]

Well if everyone is conformable we can move on to the Mr. J meet.

Thanks,
Brent

[crizh]

Having looked at our gear, everyone that has a Simrig can easily manage 8 Sensor Channels but more than half of us don't have one and they have an availability of 12.

Almost everyone can manage 6 or could with one or two borrowed or newly purchased sensors.

[edit]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif)

Having looked at the gear tables in Arsenal, in a mad twist of stupidity, the most effective way to improve the number of Sensor Channels you provide is to buy a Transys Steed motorized wheelchair, 4000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) and just a dash for availability so we could just nip out to the shops and buy half a dozen.....

How cool and edgy would we look riding into the secure facility sitting in a small herd of wheelchairs?

Sub-zero man, sub-zero.

[bmcoomes]

Yeah, at best it would take two days to get Simrigs for the rest of the team.

Brent

[crizh]

I'm pretty much ready for the next scene if we can assume comms have been sorted out.

Is it DD or Jake that has a Warez group contact?

Would you mind if we did a little shopping for software while we wait?

[Oenone]

I would be ready, but my timezone means now is the time for sleeping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Assume Etoile turns up and stays quietly watching from the back somewhere. Ideally keeping herself as utterly cut off from the matrix as possible and taking as much gear as she can into the club. (I have no idea what security the place has, but she'd have ICly checked before arriving so as to not bring guns and mini-welders when they have obviously top rate door security)

[bmcoomes]

Crizh: Yeah, I'm fine with having the whole comm thing already worked out. I think it would be Jake over DD.

Oenone: That's fine post when you can get some sleep, it's a precious thing.

Brent

[Fuchs]

Yes. Jake's got the better contacts, and better programs.

Any results from DD's search?

[Shalimar]

I'm ready

[Shalimar]

Yeah, at best it would take two days to get Simrigs for the rest of the team.

Brent

Can't we just walk into a retailer and buy them?
