The other day, I was trying to remember what was the piece of 'ware (can't remember if it was cyber or Bio) that you could combine with Move-By-Wire to get a total of 6d6 initiative dice?

I know there was one such piece... even if it wasn't RAI.

Synaptic Accelerator i believe

[Reaver]

I think you're right...
I usually forget that one normally.

[Marcus]

It's not the synaptic accelerator, I checked Man and Machine first which is SA is stated, and didn't find it.
But there lots  more 3rd books, I'll keep looking.

[Reaver]

Damn... i was sure that was it....

Hm..

All I can remember is it was a fairly minor piece of ware as far as initiative wenr, so it got over looked a lot...

[sds]

Move By Wire specifies explicitly that it is not compatible with any other Reaction or Initiative-enhanching cyber- or bioware. A case could be made for drugs though - Jazz, Kamikaze etc.

The one I remember is Boosted Reflexes and Synaptic Accelerators. Giving a total of +2 Reaction and +4 initiative dice.

[Marcus]

Drug does look like possibility, I'm missing one of the SOTA books so it might be in that.
 

[Reaver]

No, it was a piece of 'ware.
And like I said, it was exactly RAI, but wasn't explicitly called out.....

And yes, it was a very controversial thing, even back then but there was no forum back then to discuss  these things.

Can we please not turn an SR3 debate into a trollfest, and just start getting along and debate in peace?

[Reaver]

If it helps any,  we have discussed this combo on these forums in an off topic debate about 5 or 6 years ago i think... but my search-fu failed me in finding it...

[Reaver]

Alright guys, Solved my own issue

Got a hold of my old buddy that ran the build back then and he broke it all down for me and where the bonuses came from.

So those of you that were looking it up for me can stop.. The piece of tech I was looking for was "Boosted Reflexes".

[Michael Chandra]

Glad you found it!

Can you please stop calling me a troll whenever I ask a simply question about the validty of an argument? Thanks.

I fear you're mixing me up with someone else. Our last direct interaction was this post, back when your post count was at 13.

And while I understand the fact you have a grudge against Reaver and the moderation team, I think it's best to keep that out of unrelated topics.

Where was it?

[Michael Chandra]

I did a google search and found a 2006 topic, not sure if it helps:

Apparently its in the shadowtech book.
 

I was a little wrong on the build. Actually a lot wrong. The build didn't require a MBW system, but was a collection of delta grade ware that all stacked together to give you a massive initiative score, but very little room for anything else..... even a smartgun system!

It's actually an older build from 2e, just expanded and made more of an initiative monkey thanks to boosted reflexes.

this all stems to from an off forum conversation about the "good ol' days" of SR and how things have changed for the better and worse from our perspectives as long time players even though we play in different circles.
