I meant that you received no info on the rolls. Sorry for not being clear enough.

I want to wait for reactions. It takes time (however short) for the drone to reach a position where it can provide additional information.

@Csjarrat: control rig doesn't reduce threshold, that's driving in VR. BTW the base threshold for going slowly while hugging the ceiling to reduce signature should be 2 (1 for easy maneuver, +1 for terrain) but it doesn't matter, as i don't want you to roll in this case.

ah sorry, stuck somehwere between sr4a and 5ed rules at moment. seems to be coming out something like shadowrun 4.5a lol.
does driving in VR threshold reduction apply to flying in VR or piloting a boat in VR, i've always played it that it does.

Threshold reduction applies to all kinds of vehicles.

What signal source do you want to use? Based on your answer i still have to check rules when i get home (approximately in eight hours).

Well you can use ewar and a signal source to jam on the fly, so was wondering if i could use either the terminal, my commlink or ,y drone as they all have decent broadcast ranges

I was thinking about using the terminal (which is receiving a signal, I assume wired), attach a commlink to it and then use that to broadcast.  Even if it's only to the company controlling the wired line.  That way we should be able to get a signal out.

Guys, i have a question and a request to you all.

First, the request. I'd like to ask you to divide your available money into three different amounts: how much do you have in corp scrips, in electronic money, and in certified credsticks. Please keep in mind that most people don't really use even credsticks, and although perfectly legal, paying by those tends to be frowned upon and raise uncomfortable questions.

Second, the question. How do you feel about different karma awards at the end of a run? Personally, i like to give out karma based on two kinds of indicators. One is goals and achievements, which is objective and always the same for everybody, the other is roleplay, ideas, and such, which is subjective and tends to differ by no more than a single karma between two characters. If you have no problem, i'd prefer to have it this way. Also, in one of the games of the forum, i found that a GM asked his player's opinions about the other players and characters, what they liked about the others. If you agree, we could also do that, and i would take your opinion into account when deciding about the second batch of karma.

Your question: I have no clue actually.  I have 1100 nuyen, but I'm not sure how it would be logically divided.  I will assume most of it is in electronic nuyen.  Maybe 100-200 on a credstick for those small expenses you don't want to see on your profile (she's been a prostitute, so she knows about those ;) ) or to pay a contractor for a small job he doesn't want to show on his taxes.
Let's go with (unless you object): 200 on a credstick, 200 in corporate scrip (I'm not sure which corp), 700 in electronic.

Second: I know about the thing you refer to.  At the end of the run each player gives an overview of what he liked about the other characters.  It's not always easy, but I find it quite amusing to read what the others think about your character.  And as long as the difference isn't to big, I have no problem with karma differences between the characters.  After a couple of runs, it will average out mostly.
