QUOTE (Matsci @ Feb 10 2009, 11:58 AM)  Yeah. They can use most technical skills, they just can't create with them. A Drone Loaded with an Aircraft Mechanic soft could repair, and even modify a plane, as long as it has blueprints to work from. However, It can't jurry-rig a fuel pump out of spare parts, and tend to toss up error messages whenever it runs into something different. Then I shall revise my previous thoughts on this... A drone/agent can use any technical autosoft, but cannot create new things with it. They could copy an existing thing, or follow plans to create something, but cannot do anything original. So, with a Software autosoft, for example, new programs could not be created. But, software could be maintained using the autosoft, and perhaps even copies of cracked software (while conveniently leaving out the code to make the programs degrade) could be made with the autosoft. An Automotive Mechanic autosoft could be used to repair a vehicle or build something from some plans, but could not be used to create something original, and definitely not to MacGuyver anything up. A Forgery autosoft could be used to create fake SINs and nuyen, but not to forge someone's signature with just a description (a signature would require a sample to copy). An Artisan autosoft is useless, except when used along with Forgery to forge a work of art (since, I believe, you use the lesser of Artisan & Forgery for your roll). Does that sound correct? |

It's 300 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) per day, plus living expenses, fuel, smuggling bribes, ID's, and other Misc expenses. Witch Means that you guys have 20,400 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) owed to you when you hit LA. I apparently cannot do math anymore. I blame Rad. |

If you can prove that it got damaged because you were doing a Job for the Cartel. And not say, being attack by bounty hunters. |

That's fine. The repairs for the bounty hunter attack were already paid for by Dark Talon. I was (personally) more concerned about the repairs needed after the Kowloon City thing. I still hadn't fixed my Nimrod, since it'd have been damn expensive to. But, if KondOrchid is paying for that one, I'm fine with fixing it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

By the way, for the cargo ship, we need to get improved living conditions. If we're making what amounts to a mobile factory, we might as well get some good feng shui to improve our skill rolls.

i'm trying to find a reason for my character to contribute to that, as absolutely none of it directly benefits my character, if you replaced one of those workshops with one that makes cyber or bioware, then it would be easy

Don't forget. These shops will also let us build/modify your armor and weapons, as well as our vehicles, your tachicoma thing, and our skytrain. And yes, the medical facility (mitch is trained in both first aid and medicine (though I suppose his specialty would be autopsy, since he picked up a "forensic" skill group). Along with all the other benefits. I dont mind having a cyberware building place, but can you even make things that are useful?
Also, I'll totally agree. We need a high lifestyle boat with some feng shui (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

That's true. Between our various contacts (Kaz or other Triad people, for example), do we have a standard means of taking advantage of fake nuyen?
