In Neptune's Realm - Chargen and Recruitment, Cyberpirates: create characters here! Options

[Digital Heroin]

Penta- I sent you my bio over a month ago with my original character sheet you could not open. However, I will dig it up and resend it to you tommorrrow.

As far the cover I like the salvage/treasure hunter cover. If they did actually a quick search of the boat most if not all the workshops would pass inspection except the armor workshop which we could have a cover as a dive rigging work shop. Throw some heavy digging gear, a couple underwater drones and it could pass inspection. I forget the name of the movie but I am thinking our boat would be much like the boat in Matthew Maconhay's movie where he works for a treaure hunter and he is looking for a civil war ironclad in Africa.

Sahara, I do believe is the name of that movie.

[Penta]

Received, DH. And approved.

[Digital Heroin]

Cool... hopefully it conveys the right "hard as fuck, but quiet about it" feel.

[Minchandre]

Digital Heroin, I think your modified boat is fine...though I would like a more, uh Socratic boat modification scheme, with everyone listing the mods they need and the mods they want, and the group/GM figuring it out from there.

That said, we still need a cover, or is everyone agreed on salvages?

[Faraday]

Boom goes the modified proposal:

Electronics Workshop 10000 [1]
Medical Workshop 10000 [1]

Mod Slots Used: 15/25
Total Cost: 375175

Good overall. As others have pointed out, more smuggling compartments is better.
As for my own entries:
1. Rigger adaption, assuming the boat doesn't come with a free one. 1 slot, 2500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif)
2. Improved Sensor Array. 1 slot, 1000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif)
3. Level 1 Life Support, so that gassing the boat is not as much of an option. Level 2 seems a little extreme. 1 slot, 12500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif)
4. Interior Cameras, very useful for dealing with people *on* our boat. Be they inspectors, prisoners, clients, or pirates. Can be enhanced with thermo/low light if desired. 1 slot, 2500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif)
5. Vehicle Tag Eraser, it's a 6F, but no one is going to see it unless they rip the ship apart. 1 slot, 6250 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif)

I would go with salvagers as a primary cover, followed by smugglers, followed by being...pirates?

[Minchandre]

If we're going to do mods of DH's rather than the Socratic method, let me put in for
-Full skinlink (5000)
-ECM 10 (10000)
-Improved Sensor Array (1000) (Slots used 26/30)
-Atmospheric Sensors 3 (75)
-Directional Mic x 5 (375)
-Laser Mic 6 x 2 (600)
-Olfactory Sensor 6 (3000)
-Radio Signal Scanner 6 (300)
-Barometric (200)
-Liquid Analyzer (2000)
-Nonlinear Junction Detector 6 (600)
-Radar 6 (1200)
-Sonar Active 6 (1200)
-Sonar Passive 6 (1200)
-Radiation (100)
-Thermometric (20)
-Ultrawideband Radar 4 (2000)
-Special Machinery (Something Salvagey)
-Winch (enchanced) 5000

Total cost
33,870

We also should have some sort of Nexus, maybe, unless everyone's fine running stuff on their own 'links.

I'd also like a large purchase:
Large landing drone rack (20000)
Saeder-Krupp Mk-17D Neptune (22000)
-Microwave link 8 x 2 (one for the boat) (3200)
-Retrans 6 (4000)
-Smart Jammer Area 4 (4000)
-ECM 5 (5000)

Total = 58200

That would be our EW drone! With luck, we can use it to help subord ships before we even board them!

By the way, why doesn't the armor go all the way to 20?

EDIT: I just realized that some sensors take more than 1 capacity...anti-camera devices dropped. Also, Ultrawide band added per Faraday's suggestion.

[Faraday]

I dunno. I guess they needed some way to keep concealed armor from being ridiculous.

Also, you should make room for an ultrawideband scanner in the improved sensor array. I personally would love to see what's in a potential target before going after it. Also, ECM is nice, but a little...illegal and conspicuous.

That's why we keep it off most of the time. I figured we would turn ECM on only when going in for the kill, or defensively.

I'm more concerned with the authorities finding it while doing a boat inspection or something. Also, the manual override function may be a good idea if we don't want to get hijacked ourselves.

That's true, though we can always true and hide it or something. Besides, I doubt that the Caribbean League (for example) is going to be enforcing much in the way of laws. Plus, high seas!

Yeah, I thought about adding ECM to my "want" list, but I'm not sure how easy it is to hide the equipment. But yeah, CL is pretty...erm... lax about that sort of thing. Bribes can also go a long way to "hiding" forbidden gear.

[Xahn Borealis]

Bio and revised sheet by tomorrow night, RL took a great steaming dump all over me and told me it was hail. Then told me to get a shovel.

[Penta]

Ouch.

[Minchandre]

Do people think we should have a little public armory? Like, have 5-10 pistols, SMGs, and/or assault rifles just to have around?

Always wanted one of those. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Although who's gonna use it... I dunno. >.>

Nik might use it if his pistol is lost or damaged. Being out in the open ocean, replacing weapons that are lost, for whatever reason, isn't as easy as going to your friendly neighborhood fixer back in Seattle, NYC, wherever.

[Xahn Borealis]

I think you mean communal. "And here's where we keep the guns! Help yourself!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Penta]

I'm confused. Min, do you mean armory as in "place to store guns" or as in "place to fix guns"?

[GrimWulf]

Communal gun-rack, placed conveniently next to a hatch so we can all run out while the buzzer goes off grabbing a gun on the way out all cinematic like.

[Dumori]

Armorys tend to both store and maintain.

[Penta]

Yeah, but one is another shop (by the sounds of it) while one can be handwaved.

[Dumori]

Yeah, but one is another shop (by the sounds of it) while one can be handwaved.

The armorer workshop is already planed.

[Penta]

Oh...Oh yeah...

*cry* Chargen/Boatgen has gone on for a month...My brain is leaking.

[Minchandre]

Yeah, I just meant have a bunch of communal guns for generic gun purposes.

[Penta]

Oh, psssh. That costs no slots at all.
