Fenris: My guy's not entirely reliant on the suit... he's a technical mastermind too... *nod* He'll be useful outside of the suit, escpecially with these creation rules... in the past he wasn't so much so...
kev: Remove the suit, and you've got a lightly cybered guy who can easily pass as a run of the mil techie...

Fenris: Deck design is OK with me, program design too but try to stick to standard programs mainly, makes it easier for me to keep track of things.

QUOTE (Grey @ Jan 24 2004, 12:28 PM) | A memory chip is not DNI by default. At least that was how I took it. The chipjack is DNIed, so the chip put into it gets used. If you want to put a chip into a cyberhand you need to add DNI. |
Yes, but my point is that the Comm Unit is already DNI-capable. There should be no need to actually make this adjustment to the actual Comm Unit to use the Memory Chip(s). As I said though, I agree that you have to implant a DNI-link to the device itself, but the actual unit shouldn't need any further adaption.

Heh, then we are both on the same page, but we just didn't think we were. When I added the Personal Comm Unit to NSRCG's cyber page, I didn't add the +50% cost to DNI it. We agree then, we just didn't know it.

The only thing that I said needed the DNI upgrade was the memory chip.

That's cool. I am still wondering why the chip itself needs to be adapted though, if it is going to be used in the Comm Unit. I wouldn't have thought it would be necessary. Maybe I'm just a little dense today though, so could you please go through your reasoning one more time for me.

Alright, I've been thinkin' the powersuit might not be the best of ideas, eh? I've got a backup character concept though. One which requires less number slinging, and which fits the bill still, given that we're playing runners who've been around for a bit... what timeline we looking at for characters? I can make both still, see which fits better.
Character A: Rigger/Techie Dwarf w. Powersuit Drone Armor
Character B: Former-Otaku/Decker/Sammie (Speed Addict)
*morns the too high cost of a Deltaware level 4 MbS*
What? He's addicted to speed...

Because I don't use them in the Comm, I use them as if they were head memory, but without the insane essense and nuyen costs.

Know what guys. I think I'm gunna limit myself to 10 games, so I'm gunna back out of playing this one. Have fun, yal.

Alright... due to the fact I just can't decide how to work it... the power armor sadly is dead... ok... it was misguided in the first place... fun for an NPC, bad for a runner... also, due to the high cost of a Move by Wire system (ok, the Deltaware Level 4), the speedfreak decker's out... doesn't mean a decker is out altogether... geh... I'm indecisive, and don't really know what to make... hate me...

Meh, you can still get alpha-grade Wired 3 and a Reflex trigger with some cash and essence to spare

Still not... fast enough... *c* This is a guy when, just as an unlimited budget for the heck of it concept character, had a bike that he couldn't even corner at top speed or the force'd rip him off... I could try and make a proto version though... that might work...

I'm gonna have to bail from this game. Usually I can take one look at a run and decide what to play. This one's different for me, just doesn't feel right. Sorry all for my ramblings on the thread. Was just trying to work things out.
