I've been around ,You've been around. I can make mistakes, but so can You too
But I never intended to write that You're wrong about the Mechanics more that your point of viewing the Rules is from a ....wrong angle
When I read the German SR4A on Page 177
there is a paragraph called Sprinting
And it says that a Charackter can try to increase his running speed with a simple action ,etc etc
I didn't find any sentence about additional Tests meaning additional Meters per Turn (this means for Me:1 Check, 1 raise of the running speed per Round and thats all)
I hope You agree with me that 6 Checks per Round with 4 Successes each and a speed of 73 Meters per Round for a Human ist ridicoulos
(just like Epicedion wrote )

He's not saying that he thinks the rule is great, he's saying that the rules do absolutely nothing to prevent this. The rules say you can spend a simple action to make a sprint check and those hits translate to more movement speed. It doesn't say that you're restricted to one. It doesn't even imply that.

The sprinting rules combined with the ridiculous base movement rates pretty much junk the entire movement system. There's no baby in that bathwater.

Each hit adds 2 meters to their Running Rate.

Close, but that doesn't help. The Running Rate could well be cumulative. Nope, we have to rely on player/GM sanity instead.

Dear gods, we're DOOMED!!

Sprinting requires a simple action. If you have a simple action available, you can sprint. Unless you can provide a rules quote specifically providing additional restrictions (such as SS weapons), that is bullshit.

Oh, & I know exactly what this means from a realism viewpoint; look at my first fucking post in this thread.
