I know what you mean. The Teufelkatze would have been much improved if it was the Teufelskatze

Or die Katze des Teufels....Genitiv needs some love.

Honestly, I find the weird German a little quaint.

What I wouldn't give for more X-language fluent people that we could bounce these off of. There's a German crew that I can sometimes poke, but for anything else.. French, Japanese, Nuhatl, we kinda gotta wing it. Bleah.

UPDATE!

I'm kicking a big passle of FAQ and errata upstairs in about 5 hours. If there's anything you need addressed from Rigger 5 (Typo here, missing chart there), hope ove rto the errata thread:

http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=22807.0

And, PLEASE, let me know! I'm gathering this stuff from all over and oping that we can get the printer to update the hardcopy, even as we look at updating teh PDF, but Xmas is *right* *there*, so I gotta jump.

Much obliged, gang!

Tables are still screwy :(

Don't have the PDF but am curious as to what the tables should look like

Looks like it shunted availability into the skill column, and price into availability column. Not in all cases, though.

OK I see that now.

It's nice to see foreign companies use my language, but stuff like "Stürmwagon" sounds really weird and wrong.

Because it sounds cooler in American.  Fuck Yeah!




I'm reading through the PDF and gyro-stabilization is mentioned for motorcycles.  It infers that all motorcycles have it, yet there is no explicit mentioning of it.  Some motorcycles have gyro-stabilization included in the table under Standard Equipment, some don't.  In fact, the Harley Davidson Nightmare mentions in the text that it has a built-in gyro-stabilization, but it's not listed on table under Standard Equipment.

In addition, nowhere in the book is gyro-stabilization listed as a vehicle modification, like it did in 4E's Arsenal.

I'm satisfied but it needs a picture for every item.  Doesn't have to be huge pictures.  In fact I much rather a bunch of smaller pictures than the huge half page ones that they have. 

I wish they redid the drone rules.  Despite the ability to add armor it doesn't change the fact that they are a money pit and cannot hold up in a firefight.

I'll give it 3.5/5 stars.

I admit I'd prefer a few more deckplans of the ships and maybe a dedicated civilian RV, the one's that are meant to be which get mentioned in the book don't have bathing facilities/sleeping quarters or nice amenities from what I can see.

Returning the to the fuel thing it really gets weird because there's a vehicle update which doubles the unstated fuel time of a vehicle, another that allows you to refuel with anything and yet another that allows unlimited daylight operation.

I also notice that extreme environment modification has changed from 1 rating = heat or cold and 2 = all to 1 rating = 1 environment e.g. arctic/desert interesting.

Not really a technical quirk but:
Some of the Vehicle names are bugging me a bit.

After 15 years in Japan, I am so use to them mangling the English language. I drive a Fun Cargo. My friend drives a Move. My friend's wife has a Life. And those are just the cars.

They do mention how its roughly 6 hours drive time off a tank/batter/etc if that helps,
Quote from: Rigger 5 Pg 31
Vehicles operating normally can function for six hours before needing refueling/recharging/whatever;
operating in a low-power mode (such as idling) extends that time, while higher-powered travels (such as
moving at top speeds for prolonged periods) shorten it.
Keeping minute-by-minute records is not necessary.
The point is to make the players occasionally consider their power needs and not allow them unlimited travel
without powering/fueling up, not making them track exact fuel expenditures.
Now how much faster you burn this up at high speeds will still be the GM's call but expect it to be anywhere from 20% to 35% less fuel life probably.

Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

Ah thanks that's something.

I've been going back over the vehicles they're starting to feel a bit of a tease given that some of them are so expensive they're more targets than vehicles a runner can own. 85 million for a Lurssen anyone + half a milliion for the copter and whatever the other slips will cost?

At least these are real words.
"Stürmwagon" on the other hand, sounds like a turkish-American collaboration trying to sound  German.

I know what you mean. The Teufelkatze would have been much improved if it was the Teufelskatze

Speaking of the Teufelkatze.  The vehicle comes with a Teufelkatze flamer as standard equipment, but nowhere in the book there are stats for this weapon.  Great job.

Not as bad as no costs for Drone Weapon Mounts.
