Rapid Transit Jumpsuit, Munchkin-flage? Options

[The Grifter]

In the Cannon Companion, it states that the Rapid Transit jumpsuit can hold up to a maximum of 10 colors and patterns which can be altered by an electrical charge. My question is, could the jumpsuit have 10 different camouflage patterns programmed into it?

[toturi]

Yes, it can. Did you notice it only recently?

It is way cheaper than a full suit of rutherium and much more available too.

[Fresno Bob]

Also about Rapid Transit...

Is there any logical reason for it to come with restraint melters?

[The Grifter]

Yeah, man. I was just flipping through it and noticed the part about patterns. I knew the colors could be altered, but didn't know about the patterns, so I figured I should ask about it.

Awesomeness.

By the way you do not need all 10 patterns.

There are only about 8 enironmental patterns. Desert, Snow, Urban, Woodlands, all with Day and Night patterns. And 1 special camo pattern: Anti-Sensor Night Camo.

So you need only 9, I'd put a Safety Orange or some other eye catching colour/pattern as the last one because you never know when you'd WANT someone to find you.

what about the "ninja so black you can't see me" camo?

[Bob the Ninja]

I add that option into a lot of different clothes. That way one suit becomes several. Great for the executive on a budget.

I played one character that took that and had 3 delivery companies uniforms programmed in.

personally, i allow all camo clothing to have up to four patterns built in. makes a hell of a lot more sense than issuing four different uniforms, depending on terrain, and it makes fast deployments much, much faster.

I don't think you can convincingly make your jumpsuit look like another uniform, because of the shape, cut and all that. I mean, go buy a work overall at the store today and decide if you could convincingly paint it to look like a cop's uniform or whatever.
Mind you, if you just had a few different big corp logos on the back and shoulder, you could certainly help your bluff rolls along.

Hey, d'ya think that real uniforms in the 2060's could have counterfeit detection tech like money does these days?

[Crimson Jack]

I think the idea is that, at a glance, the runner looks official. Often times, the best place to hide is right out in the open.

If you could change the colors, it wouldn't be hard to make a UPS uniform look like a FedEx uniform. At least well enough that your average Joe won't notice. It won't work to make it look like a police uniform, of course. Most couriers will have similar cuts to their clothes.

[Tarantula]

UPS is brown, yeah.

[Eyeless Blond]

Plus it's a jumpsuit, and a fairly common-looking one (counts as Ordinary clothing), so I imagine it would look similar to lots of uniforms.

Here's a question, though: can you change the styles that the uniform can switch into by changing the chip? And, if so, are there rules for creating/editing/buying these "style chips"?

[DrJest]

Even if it's not an option offered by the company, I could see hackers/modders making custom chips. Let's face it, they mod everything else out there :D

[Kagetenshi]

I haxor your boxers.

Close... real close... I'd just swallowed my Coke when I read that :)

[mfb]

there's no rules for it, but it's something the GM ought to allow.

[Akai Sokata]

I was thinking because I myself wear a heavy jumpsuit...Its not a very complex system. the logos of companys won't look stiched on. how complex of a camo pattern can it produce? bascally what im saying is the logo thing could maybe fool John Q standbyer, but anyone who would know its a fake could see right threw the disguise. but the camo idea would work to a extent. but it is no ruthenium sneak suit. but hey its fun. spill red pop on me switch it to red. sneeze on myself Bam! green hehehe. it saves on the dry cleaning.

[Nikoli]

Doesn't most fluff text describe Logos and such as no longer stitched on, but rather embedded in the textures of the fabric, or in the color of the dye. I don't see why a John Q. Public would be able to tell the difference, because to them it's the same thing.

Like it was said already, your average Joe isn't going to be inspecting your jumpsuit for signs of counterfeiting. As long as you can fast talk, you're set. Oh, and carrying a clipboard around always makes you look official.
