I have some wifi here, so I'm still on.  Anybody wants to reply to my IC?

I thought of letting you guys have some fun chatting around but if there's no response for a few more days, i will advance the story. As for OOC stuff, I'm still waiting for MaxKojote's opinion on recruiting another player or going on like this.

@Csjarrat: yes, you took the wheeled spec for pilot ground. You also planned on taking the stealth group, but didn't have the karma to do that, so please confirm if you intend to take that now, or take something else.

@Farothel: the pilot ground skill improvement is perfectly OK. Values for Tweety should now (after the improvement) be L2/C3.

Yeah I think it would be handy as it will help me pilot drones stealthily iirc?
If I IC it, is there an option of doing some work on the car?

@Farothel: I can certainly wait until then.

@Csjarrat: OK then, Stealth group it will be. Please roll an Intuition test to see how well you go on with your practice (base time is 1 month, threshold is 1, but I will keep in mind that you had some spare time in the last downtime period).
Working on the car is perfectly OK, just keep in mind that without parts, you can’t do too much. I suggest that we discuss the planned modifications/works here, then you cover the agreed ones in IC.

Cool, was thinking maybe some handling upgrades or engine customisation, stuff that should be relatively cheap. Had a quick skim for turbo and think that was quite expensive!
Can I use edge on the test?

Sure, your Edge pool refreshes at the end and at the beginning of each chapter automatically.

If this keeps up, you might be best to replace me as well...
I'm sorry I haven't been around. Project for night classes at the same time as preparing my pitch for a major project at College. I'm willing to go with whatever the others decide with regards to our fourth slot.

righto, i'd like to go for an oil slick sprayer as i've just read through the rules for engine customisation speed/accel and they require a facility not a shop so thats out for the time being!
Avail is 8F, price new is 500NY and threshold for installation is 10. what say ye, o mighty GM. shall I IC for it with Danny boy?

@MaxKojote: I hope things settle down around you, I’d hate to lose you as a player. If you need some time off, I’d rather we wait for a few weeks than leave you behind (if that sits well with the other players).

@Csjarrat: an oil slick sprayer is certainly within capacity (and available cash), so go for it. Anyway, you know that Danny boy has an upgraded shop, capable of some (if not all) facility level modifications, and has connections to have other mods done.

@all: I will be away between the 13th and 22nd of June, and will probably not be able to post much in that period, so I suggest we go on with the next job after that. Until then, I will decide if I recruit another player and discuss details with him/her if necessary, we can take care of downtime, etc.

Anybody still here?  Or is it that time all students dread: finals?  :)

I'm still here and rent has replied to other threads. Think there's a lot of studying going on though!

Overwhelmed with some family business right now. Will try to advance the downtime thread in a day or two.

ok, keep forgetting that i need a hot sim module as well: will try and locate plans and do the modification myself:

Data search for AR plans for the hot sim modification:
data search 2, browse 6 (8d6.hits(5)=3)
data search 2, browse 6 (7d6.hits(5)=2)
data search 2, browse 6 (6d6.hits(5)=2)
data search 2, browse 6 (5d6.hits(5)=0) no glitch
data search 2, browse 6 (4d6.hits(5)=1)
and done

iirc, the search threshold for AR plans is their availability which is 4F, i got 8 hits which is enough for avail x2 (i'm fuzzy on 4e rules now, but think this was correct)
will do this in cold-sim VR to save time if time is an issue:

so assuming that worked:
hardware test to do mods;
log 3, hardware 2, AR plans +2 (7d6.hits(5)=3)
log 3, hardware 2, AR plans +2 (6d6.hits(5)=2)
log 3, hardware 2, AR plans +2 (5d6.hits(5)=1) + EDG to re-roll failures log 3, hardware 2, AR plans +2 (4d6.hits(5)=1)

log 3, hardware 2, AR plans +2 (4d6.hits(5)=0)
log 3, hardware 2, AR plans +2 (3d6.hits(5)=2)
log 3, hardware 2, AR plans +2 (2d6.hits(5)=0)
log 3, hardware 2, AR plans +2 (1d6.hits(5)=1) *phew* got it on the last roll. threshold 10

threshold 10 reached in 7 hours of work
