Yeah, AFAIK 'Das unentdeckte Land' means 'The Undiscovered Country'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's okay, we don't love you any less.

One of my group got bored and came up with "The latest in mass transportation in the high-threat areas" in making the Luft-Bus. I think we had some slots available still so could probably mount a few external turrets for MGs or something.

I've mentioned "the gun bus" in our campaign every now and then for SINless living in Redmond or Puyallup, since you can't even take a real bus without a SIN these days, and no real bus would go into those neighborhoods anyway. |

QUOTE (longbowrocks @ May 31 2011, 04:47 AM) Based on discussion thus far, I don't see how this is wrong. User = rigger for both rigging and remote control (this is when you use rigger initiative). User = drone when drone pilots itself (this is when you use drone initiative). Except that a drone pilot is not as much mental as computational... tho i guess one can argue that a brain is also a computer, especially in SR. I guess the one line just took me by surprise, as it had no justifications for its claim. |

QUOTE (Yerameyahu @ May 31 2011, 04:07 AM) It does, though. It says, "a remote controlled drone acts only when it receives commands (ie. on the rigger’s action)." I guess so, tho that line is somewhat problematic as it makes it seem that the drone is still doing things on its own, it is just being prodded into action by the rigger. a simple "all actions take place on the rigger initiative" would have removed the ambiguity, imo. The line also reinforce the poor naming of the Command program, as it talks about "receives commands" even tho that kind of wording would fit better under "issuing commands" then "remote control". |

It makes it seem like it *isn't* doing its own things. It says "acts only on rigger commands", and specifically "on the rigger's action". No, the writing is never really perfect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
Agreed about the Command Program. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I assume they didn't want to make the hacker/rigger buy two separate programs (though maybe they should!). |

Huh? there is no program involved in giving commands. You do that much like you do with a trained animal.

Oh, duh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I was thinking of Spoofing commands, I guess.
