A note on TacNet: as only Fang has the software, anyone wanting to be in the net has to be slaved under Fang's bionode.
@GM: if we go in a convoy can we use the bonus granted by the TacNet?

[Sichr]

Yesss

[farothel]

@Farothel: how fast are you planning to go? I'm planning +50% where threshold is otherwise 2 but if you plan on going slower, i won't leave you behind unless the situation for Nick turns very threatening.

I only have 5 dice for pilot ground vehicle, so not too fast if possible (which is why I said that if someone was a better driver they could drive my car).  And with only 3 edge, I'm not going to be able to reroll them all.  I'll already need one to get the treshold 4, so that leaves only 2.

I also think it best to keep some distance between the two cars, although I will tell so IC.

[Sichr]

That thresshold 4 is quite a lot. According to the map it is downhill with some sharp turns. If you leave this part on pilot with Gridguide, it would be sans roll, but 'walking speed'

[Sichr]

Gentlemen you are free to IC the departure from hq + rolls. Settle who will take the wheel (remember, jesus cannot drive) I'll start tomorrow with resolving the situations starting with Cassey's.
Im starting the weekend so I wont be able to speak quite soon, not even post
cheers.

[Ren]

Uhh, 5 dice are not too hefty. I have 14, but i didn't volunteer to drive the other car for IC reasons.
BTW have you counted all bonuses? Its not too much, but if you drive AR-enhanced, it gives +1 die. Home ground gives you +2 if you have it.
And most importantly, if you drive VR instead AR, you get to use Response instead of Reaction, and all thresholds are at -1.

[MaxKojote]

Uh... I suppose I could Remote control your car if you need to. With Command threaded up I'd have 12 dice baseline (14-1 for defaulting-1 wound penalty). Given that I'll be in VR thresholds will be at -1.

[Sichr]

I wonder what:
Drive by wire override
does...

well IMO it allows you to turn off wifi, but not disables it as default

[Ren]

It allows you to shut off wireless even if you're locked out of the car's system. You just push a button and remote control is gone.

[Sichr]

like I said. Id doestn remove wifi as default.

Theree are more ways to skin the cat, I wonder whoch one you choose. Even Sprite would be able to drive, or, as Max said, remote with command can also work pretty good.

[MaxKojote]

Yeah. That said I'd be better for driving than a sprite, as to match my current dice pool I'd need to get a machine sprite at rating 6. Which would remove my current Data sprite. ... Could work though. Or I could get a rating 7 one and tell it to go crazy. 14DP and one free autosoft for remote control is pretty nice.

My virtual friends drive better than me. I feel so ashamed.

Also Sichr, stop giving me ideas.

-

Also I assume "Drive by Wire Override" means "Manual Control Override". Which, as you both more or less said allows a button press to disable wireless capability, forcing manual controls (or, I assume, physical contact if you've skinlink? That's food for thought...)

[Ren]

Guys this drags on too much for a simple drive. I will post my rolls and narrative in a few hours. As Nick's life might depend on it i've decided to go faster (+1 TH) in most places. Please tell me if someone will keep up so i know if i have the TacNet bonus or not.

[MaxKojote]

In that case, unless Farothel objects, I'll RC her car to keep up with us. If no objection, I'll do narrative and rolls in the morning.

@Farothel: Did an edit to have Fang ask if you want him to RC your car.

[vinnmun]

Going in multiple vehicles is not a bad thing anyways, don't want all our eggs in one basket.

[Sichr]

I am a bit sad that kour is still away, this could have been his moment to shine also, just sitting in the cinema waiting for F&F 6, so Ill have couple of ideas when i get to post
