But there's max armour on a drone based on its body...(I think), can you check?
Yeah, body x 3, but the cocoon is internal armor for the rigger, so I'm not sure if there's an upper limit.

Yes, but when you're on a vehicle, you add the vehicle armor to your own.

Oh, and I went and looked - you're in a Horseman, so you're already inside of a capsule on top of the three wheels, so yeah, it all adds up. Your vehicle is more vulnerable than you are. Sure would be a shame if it were to... catch fire...
I am a little concerned that the opposition have landed the Heavy Squad in a place where they can pick of any rescuers. Legundo and I are fixed here looking menacing for the benefit of the Toxic Spirits, or I would go looking for them.
The concealment will only be -3 to sensors/perceptions, but might help.
I am preparing to counter any missiles by asking Legundo to slow them down to a third of their normal speed.

First initiative pass:
Targeting the machinegunner if possible, if not, the first troop that makes his helmet available to me.
6 agility + 8 long arms +2 improved ability +1 aim + 2 smartlink - 2 for called shot (head) = 17 dice
17d6.hits(5)=7
7 hits, the EX-Explosive round is -5 AP including the rifle, and has a base damage of 10P + 2 for the called shot = 12P

I'm going to assume you also want the -2 from firing from cover?!? But seeing as you forgot the +1 from the tower tacnet (unaffected by the jamming!) and the fact that it will make bugger all difference to the shot I'll let you off
To everyone, please feel free to add in lots of modifiers, especially attacker running / firing from cover as I will use this as an indicator of where you consider yourselves to be (don't wait for me to remind you!). Will try not to kick you too hard if you forget of course but still...

J. please roll defence against the incoming grenades…don’t worry, they aren’t overlapping but they have effectively covered the entire area you are in so there’s little chance of avoiding outright so it will be determined by whether you are taking full defence, +4 for good cover, -2 area effect (other mods if you can think of them...?!?)

That seems completely unfair, given that the rules for the vehicle armor and the rigger cocoons are very specific.
QUOTE
The rigger cocoon has an Armor rating of 20 and a Structure
rating of 10 (see Barriers, p. 157, SR4). Increase the rigger’s dice
pool by 5 in all cases where the rigger cocoon can help protect
him from damage due to crashing or vehicle maneuvers. Th is
system can of course also be used to protect other passengers,

QUOTE
Attacks must specifically target either the passengers (in which case,
the vehicle is unaffected) or the vehicle itself (in which case, the passengers
are not affected). The exceptions to this rule are ramming,
full-automatic bursts and area-effect weapon attacks like grenades and
rockets—these attacks affect both passengers and vehicles.
If an attack is made against passengers, make a normal Attack
Test, but the passengers are always considered to be under Good Cover
(though the Blind Fire modifier may apply to the attacker as the situation
dictates.) Passengers attempting to defend an attack inside a
vehicle suffer a –2 dice pool modifier to their dodge, since they are
somewhat limited in movement. Additionally, the passengers gain
protection from the vehicle’s chassis, adding the Armor of the vehicle
to any personal armor the characters are wearing. Called shots may be
used to circumvent one armor or the other but not both.
In the case of ramming, full-auto and area-effect attacks, both passengers
and vehicles resist the damage equally.

If a character wants to shoot through a barrier to hit a target behind it,
add the barrier’s Armor rating to whatever armor the target already possesses.

he cannot see the intended target, unless the barrier is transparent.
If the weapon’s modified Damage Value does not exceed the barrier’s
Armor rating (modified by the weapon’s AP), then the weapon

If you're going to change the rules for Vehicle damage, and Barriers on the fly now. I'm not exactly going to be happy. Especially given that we're forced into a PVP situation with someone whose using an anti-vehicle rifle that will /literally/ 1 shot my character, if I ever get in line of sight.

I have resummoned Legundo, this time at level 6 (I do learn...with the background count a force 5 spirit is not very good). I have 4 services, and take a point of physical drain.
I believe that I am currently 2 physical damage (out of 8 I think ...I have a smaller condition monitor than most people), and 3 stun damage. ( I needed to check the biomonitor as without it I have no idea )
On a separate topic, I have quite badly designed Gash: I didn't realise how bad the background count would be. If there is any chance to tweak his Magic up a point in exchange for a few other stats I would appreciate it. I am happy continuing with him as he is, but he is a long way from being an effective magic suppression operative.

Hope you enjoy your (holiday)!
The trail is headed somewhere above you at the aircraft you are currently attached to...
Is there a spirit power that would allow him to affect a rocket? Anyway, I simply wanted you all to enjoy the cliffhanger, the rocket will arrive in this initiative pass
The suppressing fire is with M-23 assault rifles so no real worry for Joshua (they might sting a little...)
And the tacnet seems to have been mysteriously overloaded...now how could that have happened?!?
Nothing stopping you shooting at them (although they have good cover...and medium range for most weapons I would think approx 30m away)
Could I have initiative rolls from both of you when you get a chance? And spirit and astral initiative while you are at it please
@Sabs: I've made some assumptions about the nature of the jamming but I will defer to your superior knowledge of the matrix rules if I've got these completely backwards...
1. The jamming affects all wireless matrix channels and so stops comms, tacnet, normal drone communications etc...
2. You are able to command your drones in LOS with a laser/microwave beam and let the drone pilots execute those commands. They in turn can feed you video data (this is the bit I'm most hazy on) and therefore allow you and you alone to get the use of the tacnet as it's running on your personal nexus...
3. I will limit this to one set of commands per simple action as you'd need to redirect the laser for multiple drones
4. You can communicate with the rest of the mission via the microwave comms but the bandwidth is too small for matrix communications
Lemme know

Legundo already has a service active to keep an eye out for things attacking the ship that he and I were in. An accident power on an incoming missile has a low chance of working, but its always funny to try, so here it is. Sadly for us it just didn't work. Pop goes another service.
In terms of actions, my plan is to tell the heavies to race us to the Sultan, mostly ignoring the suppressing fire if we can. Legundo can buff our movement speed to four times normal maximum, and the Heavies strike me as the kind of people who have athletics coming out of their ears
I think this means that I will have to go with the heavies (I'd like to tell you just how scared that makes me feel), but I can only do this if they are carrying me, and protecting me from the fire (crippled old men in civilian armour are not to effective when charging through huge gouts of suppressing fire.
I might as well be astral for all of this, as I more effective, and probably get in the heavies way less The last lot of astral scouting paid dividends, so I think I should repeat it.
I'm planning the round ahead, as I may be out of touch for a couple of days:
During this round I am scouting for more astral threats
My initiative = 11
Legundo's initiative = 13
I'll get Joshua to roll his initiative in the morning (after 40 hours on a plane/airport without sleep he cannot actually stay awake at the moment).

- IP number 1: Instruction Legundo
- IP number 2: Telling Sarge to get us to the Sultan
- IP number 3: Assensing like mad
My initiative = 11
Legundo's initiative = 13

Sorry people but i can't get on to invisiblecastle acount is it ok if i roll the die on my dad acount (seth) when i am on holiday? Password reset is not working and my password is stored on a PC is on the other side of the world. Just for this post I'm using a guest acount
I'd like to fire a round of (3) shots at the person with the rocket launcher. My short range is 15m, medium is 150m. I have 7 agility, 6 archery and a smart gun link. I also have aim as a free action, giving 16 die. I'm doing this mostly to check the rules, and see how effective the bow is!
Here are my next two initiative rolls, and three archery rolls:
Initiatives: 14+8 = 22 and 14 + 5 = 19 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2875844/
Archery: 5 4 and 5 sucesses, base damage 10. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2875849/
After that I guess I run towards the Sultan.

No problem on the Invis Castle!
I had blown up the rocket launcher and his team with a rocket burst from the Nimrod but I guess we can delay the overkill long enough for you to pin cushion the guy! Will make some rolls later...
