But one vehicle equals one target. Which is reason 216 the first home was the 18 wheeler with a rating 6 pilot, fuzzy logic, and luxury fixin's on the grid. Always on the move. "Where do you live?" "The loop....."
hobgoblin
Heh, living in a 18 wheeler. Straight out of bubblegum crisis that one.
Stahlseele
Or Knight-Rider. Even if that one had a few less wheels.

Now I want a roaming shadow-garage in the back of a semi. Drive in, get your vehicle repaired, maybe a new quick-dry paintjob, and drive out again...
hermit
Haha, yeah. My rigger had that once. Then some asshole with a Great Dagon came along. -.-

My Dwarf Rigger had a Troll size modified Bison with Dwarf Size Controls rolling around on auto-Pilot with a dwarf size modified motocross bike in the back as a means of quick escape.

Now I'm reminded of the ultimate in insane vehicles and escape plans, from my guilty pleasure of reading John Ringo.

The SHIVA tanks are so large that... I think it was a M2 Bradley IFV was the escape vehicle. Might have been a M1 Abrams, however. That was the ESCAPE PLAN.

Remember when Argent had a Devilrat Airdropped as his Get-Away-Vehicle?
CanRay
Yeah, the hard part was getting a distraction large enough that he could do that. nyahnyah.gif

Crowning moment of awesome, however. biggrin.gif

What I love about this board. I keep finding new and interesting ways to spend my nuyen on business. My runner now rents guns, is a landlord, has a chain of noodle stands, and will soon have the entrepreneurship of "Fix On The Fly Auto Repair"

No, actually it was filled with guns, but that was the direct result ^^

it was the M1 i believe, with the turret removed. I am currently re-reading the series so i will let you know when i reach that point, however i'm doing the series in storyline sequence so i have to get through "Watch on the Rhine" and "Yellow Eyes" first.

I'll see if I can convince my GM to let me use Perfect Roommate on a business. Really though, this makes me think of Blade Trinity. Jump into the semi a man on foot. Fly out Detroit muscle. OH! There is another idea. Buy On The Fly! Get the rig that transports cars.... Where is my car supplement, guys? I need cheap dune-buggies, HA!
CanRay
MPUV with Off-Road Tires, done. Dune Buggy!
Stahlseele
Don't dune buggies fly? *runs for his life*

Isn't the ATV in Arsenal pretty much a dune buggy anyway?

There's a couple in Arsenal that work well for dune buggies, yeah.

Now just need a mod that lowers the price. Somewhat like the seen from The Italian Job, "What are those?" "Spare parts. You don't need 'em."
CanRay
There's adjustments that can be had to make them cheaper. Knock-Offs, Used, and so on. (Street Costs, SR4A, Page 312.).

Ah, forgot. Thanks

My group got their hands on a knock-off crawler drone when they needed to hack through security of Lone Star and did so through the car's system as a backdoor, with the hacker cuffed and in the back seat of the car. Of course, the hard part was distracting the officers without knocking them out or killing them, as the Biomonitors in their armour would have sent a message to the car to disconnect from the network. That was less budget as it was speed of availability.

They had the bright idea to hire the Halloweeners to do it. Yeah, it didn't end well. IIRC, the Hacker in the game went through dumpshock three or four times in that game... "Damn, this is nasty! I need medical attention!"

Several of the ships (pg 22 to 27) mention structure instead of body. Where in 4th is this mentioned? In 3rd I remember hull, is this the same? If so how is it used in 4th?
