In the SR3 game that I'm involved in we're just now getting ready to arm the company car. One of the PCs already has a Vindicator, so we were going to slap that in a turret and be ready to go, since we already discovered that it's unuseable by a metahuman on foot with the +30 Heavy Weapon recoil modifier.
I did the math, and the most compensation that I can put in a Mini turret is +6, and that appears to be the most that I can pack on. Sooo.....+9 target numbers, +7 after smartlink integration? That makes no sense to me. Could someone explain to me how to hit with one of these things? Since searching fire only adds additional dice, statistics would say to stand still or someone might hit you with one of these things accidentally. Probably no one involved in your battle though. Thank you, Gauvain |
