Never had it in Shadowrun, but we have had a few games where resource management was an important issue. Even to the point where we had to figure out the pay (And income taxes) for the crew.
It got quite... Insane. We ended up getting a small percentage of the Gross Planetary Product for one job in order to maintain things, and keep us in beer money. |

I have seen references to it, but not any books. *shrug* It still remains pretty fun, even still. Probably for nostalgia sake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Ironically the chemical weapon defenses didn't change much between 1918 and 2000

I think they realease I did play that game quite abit---god help you if you had an MBT. It had the York, LAV 75 and a few other things that got dropped due to budget constraints. I think the last edition that came out, came out in 2000. |

Zeppelin, somewhat modified (okay, heavily modified), for my residence. Then I just use modified maintenance drones (From the Runners Companion?) for most of the maintenance. Sorry I cannot be more specific, but I do not have the writeup here with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) |

Luftschiffbau (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
(Which means nothing but "airship production") The Zeppelin is a bit huge for my tastes...but the idea with the household repair drone from RC is great, I might just steal that... |

Yeah, that one... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It is big, and it was excessively expensive to get. But it is fun. Too bad the character is more a NPC than a PC currently (Too many characters, not enough time). Yep, the household drones are awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I actually kinda miss the old books where they give cargo factor and passenger figures, hard points etc. fuel economy etc.
This is one are where the game hasn't gotten better than the older Rigger 2/Rigger black book. |
