@Farothel: didn’t realize mapsofts have ratings. Still, a R6 mapsoft won’t give you +6 dice but there will be certain situations where the bonus requires a minimum rating (like this time, I’d say a R3 minimum for the extra dice).

[farothel]

I have a rating 6, so just assign a bonus.  I've rolled with the +2 and I've rolled the 4 others seperately.  Just take dice at the front of those until you reach the number you want.

@Csjarrat: Detect Hidden Nodes' second option has Combat Turn as an interval, although it doesn't matter now, as you only have one IP/CT. But, as i already wrote, please keep in mind that Extended tests usually have decreasing dice pools. (Retries, on the other hand, have a cumulative -2 dice pool modifier.)

@all: just a note, when the car is on the lift, no one can stay in it.

[Csjarrat]

tits, yeah i always forget about that! sorry!
there doesn't seem to be a way to get IC to do that for you. anyone know any sneaky tips for extended tests or do you just keep rolling + rolling individually?
piloting roll for take off if needed: (vr rigging giving -1 to threshold iirc)
rea 7, pilot air 3, control rig +2 (vr -1 threshold) (12d6.hits(5)=4)

[Ren]

Unfortunately i don't know any easy way to do extended tests with deceasing pools on Invisible Castle .

BTW the piloting roll was awsome, incorporated it in my post. Let's just hope you keep it up.

[farothel]

The easiest way is to encode it like this in the dice field: 5d6.hits(5); 4d6.hits(5); 3d6.hits(5) (and you can copy the first and then paste and just change the number).
It gives the following:
5d6.hits(5)=1, 4d6.hits(5)=1, 3d6.hits(5)=1

BTW the piloting roll was awsome, incorporated it in my post. Let's just hope you keep it up.

hehe, 12 dice should yield about 4 hits on average so i should hopefully be able to stay somewhere around there and the VR gives me -1 to the threshold on all vehicle tests. fingers crossed!!! :-)

@Csjarrat: when jumped in, you use Sensor rating instead of Intuition for perception rolls. The Lockheed has it at rating 2. The test is still 5 hits, though.

@all: i'll try to put up some sketches later today, or tomorrow.

[Csjarrat]

is there a knowledge skill that would let you know what would interfere with UWB radar i can roll?

re sensor rating: "Sensor package rating should be used for most situations and
is equal to the average rating of all the sensors in a package (rounded
up)." pg 335
i calculated it at 4.5 rounded to 5 in this case (rating 6 camera, rating 6 camera, rating 4 UWB and laser rangefinder which uses the suite's rating of 2 for this purpose = 18. /4 gives 4.5)

so after a thorough reading of the sensor section it would be:
sensor (5) + perception + enhancements when jumped in
and int + percept + enhancements when in AR.

god i'm rusty!!! this sound kosher to you ren?
cheers

log 3, engineering 3 (civil 5)
knowledge (6d6.hits(5)=2)
and if the specialisation helps:
spec (2d6.hits(5)=1)

[Ren]

OK, the drawings I promised:
Warehouse block from above. (Grey stripes are roads. I highlighted the target building. Courtyard access has to be confirmed, I just noted the most likely ones.)

Warehouse from the front. (Grey are walls, darker gray are entrances, blue are windows (opaque), brown is loading ramp. Roof is slanted in the direction of the street and the inner courtyard on the other side.)

Warehouse inside. (General structure for both Csjarrat and MaxKojote. For astral senses only: brown dots are people, red dot is probably armed person. There are one or two drones moving inside.)

@Csjarrat: your engineering knowledge indicates that the building is probably covered by some lightly-reflecting surface or the internal layers contain interfering materials. This is standard procedure now in industrial areas, mainly protecting against random radar waves, like from aircraft just passing over and using radar for that purpose. It is still strong enough to make direct readings useful, just not fully accurate.

@all: go on with IC, there’s some scene unfolding in the back alley. You can assume all got the physical surveillance data on their comms, so react accordingly. Currently, there’s no communication between Joel and the rest of the team, but once he gets back to his body, you can assume information is shared, unless someone directly states not sharing some part.

EDIT: i had to attach the pictures as i currently don't know how to insert images. I will try later.

[Csjarrat]

are there any roof lights/windows/maintenance hatches on the building's roof?

[Ren]

Guys, i'll wait another day for Gustovness' and MaxKojote's reply because they are both in this scene.

Anyway, i'd like to ask everybody to tell me if they won't be available for a few days. Beforehand. That way i'll know how long to wait.

[farothel]

I'll be there the entire holiday season.  Ok, don't ask too much on Christmas day itself, but the other days I will be available at least once per day to check and if necessary reply.

[Ren]

24th and 25th will be hectic, i don't know if i'll be able to post at all. I'll try to manage, but don't expect too much activity.
