yeah but thats for the purposes of getting round the limitation on response/system, to allow decent dice pools for characters that dont wanna spend 70k and a rank of restricted gear quality on a commlink :-)

Christmas turned out pretty manic. Busy for few days so IC replies might be late! Hope you all had a great xmas

[Lumen]

It was hectic for me too but good overall.  Looking forward to roaming around France.

@scawire:

pg 234

Any program run by an agent is
limited by its Pilot rating.

pg115 unwired: optimization is described as affecting a node's capability to run advanced programs and makes no mention of it impacting on the specific ruling of an agent's payload being limited by rating.

therefore: page 234 stands and an agent's payload is limited by its rating.
otherwise, everyone would just have cheap agents running amazing software constantly.

if you want to attempt to detect anything running or intruding onto your link, i'm gonna need some computer + analyze rolls from yourself and/or agent.

[Csjarrat]

sillasion, got stacks of rolls to make for your thread, will get it up tomorrow! sorry for the delay guys. had three christmases so far (both our parents have split and re-married) and its my dad's birthday today!!!
i'm knackered lol!
catch you soon

[Scawire]

I'm cool with that ruling just thought they worked a bit different is all.

So CJ it isn't the turkey in the belly making you all sleepy it is running around like your head is chopped off doing the sandman's job on you....... well hope you had fun.

[Csjarrat]

Yeah, me too scawire. I get why they did it though, if you can get an r4 agent and have it run R6 software it devalues a dedicated hacker.it is only a pilot program at the end of the day and pilot programs are limited on autosofts too

[Scawire]

The plan will be to try and fix the comms when we have some time alone in a new safe house or after fixed up in the back seat. I'll go for 2 agents analyzing and Mantis throwing his hat in to find anything wrong but not until he is fixed up a bit then he will take a look around the comms.

[Csjarrat]

So long as your wireless if off you're pretty safe mate. Story will move on this weekend so stick with me :-)

[Scawire]

no prob give me time to think over what crazy thing I'm going to do to KO all the runners right at the end of the chapter..... well maybe not this time..... I hope.

[Csjarrat]

IC is back up guys, if you've got rolling to do (sillasion) make the most of it! :-)

[Sillasion]

All rolled

[Csjarrat]

mantis, your last post is quite an "OOC" statement of intent rather than an IC post. can you edit it so it is more IC, ie "shit, i'm not getting in unless knives does" kind of thing?

[Lumen]

@CS: I've got an odd question...  How are we handling the Hax situation in play?  Should we just pretend he never existed or say he bugged out in the middle of the mission?  Just curious how you want to handle it since I'm sure it will come up when Smith wants an explanation.

Knives knows they screwed up but in his mind everything went south when hacking problems arose, which are very far outside his area of expertise.

[Csjarrat]

thats a good question, him pulling out shafted the plan a lot!
for the purposes of this, he got fragged by IC whilst hacking the server (black IC ruined him). you guys had to think quick and achieved what you needed to achieve by other means
