 What does Seattle's LTG look like to you?, I tried to picture clusters of information. What did they look like? |

There is no nebulous "Matrix outside the nodes," unless you want to start playing the metaplanar equivalent card for technomancers. So, what did you describe then? I'd say the matrix you see once you "step out" of a node in Seattle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

There is no node "higher" than an LTG, just laterally removed from it and equal in stature. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Yeah, but there isn't, to my knowledge, any Signal rating available higher than 9. So there's nothing "higher" than those nodes available. The only way you could make one would be to get a big nexus and hardwire it into all the LTGs. |

You start out in your commlink node and from there can "teleport" into other nodes, but you can't take a step back and watch the grid to which all of those are connected (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) |

It is all in the descriptions involved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

How do they reach the deep space stations?
these are out of reach for even signal 10 i'd think? On that note: how dangerous would these kinds of signal emitters be? i mean, a high powered radar dish for example is pretty lethal if you are cought in front of it for some time, if i remember correctly . . |

Standard Radio will reach deep space. Just takes time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I would call that Signal 10-12 Though. |

It's simple enough to extrapolate what a signal 10+ would have for range, at least.
Signal 11 would be 4000 km, for instance (a tenth of the circumference of the earth), signal 13 would reach everywhere on the planet. We'd need the equivalent of signal 20 to reach Mars. Signal 37 would roughly let us be in contact with the nearest star (excepting the sun), 4.2 light years away. Signal 38 would let us contact the nearest 7 stellar systems. Signal 57 would afford range beyond the observable universe. |
