radar perception: any cyber on them? all cyber with 100 meters are detected automaticaly
matrix perception - any other nodes except the commlink in common signal range? What are the stats of the commlink?
Computer(1) + Analyze(5) -> 6d6.hits(5)=3, presence of nodes, beatup commlink access_id, firewall on the beat commlink
Detection out to 100m? Automatic success with a Rating 1 Radar Scanner? doesn't work like that, omae...
Your radar cyberware system has a range of 100m, but it only functions as a millimeter wave scanner up to 15m (SR4a pg. 262). You'll need to roll to detect the cyberware on that table. Trying to detect standard cyberware only takes one hit, but you only bought a rating 1 scanner for 3000 nuyen, so you only roll one die.
Roll 1d6 10 times, I'll let you know if you detect anything on the hits
, finally understood that piece of cyber, makes a lot more sense now. there is modifer, if they got more than one piece of cyber.
anyway, here's the roll. 1d6.hits(5)=1, 1d6.hits(5)=0, 1d6.hits(5)=0, 1d6.hits(5)=0, 1d6.hits(5)=0, 1d6.hits(5)=0, 1d6.hits(5)=0, 1d6.hits(5)=0, 1d6.hits(5)=0, 1d6.hits(5)=0 single hit.
Radar Sensor:
This device emits ultrawideband and terahertz radar in short stepped-frequency pulses. An expert system analyzes the Doppler shift in the bounced signals and converts the information into a three-dimensional “map” that overlays (or replaces) the user’s visual senses, similar in some ways to ultrasound. The advantage to the radar sensor is that it can “see” through walls and other materials, which appear as translucent. This system is excellent for detecting motion (even as slight as breathing), calculating exact distances, and allowing the character to visualize floorplans, locations of people, and placement of materials like weapons. It is unaffected by visual tricks like camouflage and Invisibility spells. It is unable to ascertain colors, lighting, or other visual features.
The radar sensor uses the same Visibility modifiers as ultrasound. It can penetrate its rating x 5 of cumulative barrier Structure ratings (see p. 157, SR4). For example, a Rating 2 radar sensor could “see through” two Structure rating 5 walls. It can be used to detect weapons and cyberware on a person in the same way as millimeter wave radar (p. 255, SR4). Radar sensor cyberware has an effective Signal rating of 2 for determining the sensor’s range. Radar sensors are vulnerable to jammers and jamming.
Millimeter wave detection systems, also known as cyberware scanners, process video taken in the millimeter wave spectrum to identify the energy signature of cyberware and concealed items (specifically weapons) on a person. These devices can “see through” thick layers of clothing and other concealment to identify items from a distance of 15 meters away. To determine if the detector scans cyberware or a prohibited item, roll the Device rating and compare the hits scored to the thresholds given on the Cyberware Scanner Table. Millimeter wave scans can detect any non-biological item by its shape and composition, assuming the item is listed in the device’s database. If the threshold is reached, the scanner detects the item/implant and notes its general locations and type; additional hits provide more detail (function, model, grade, etc.).
This actually is quit good, now i know what to roll when using the radar, the automatic succes was a bit boring, but i would say i daubt the 15m rule.
the Millimetre works only 15m it is it's effective range, and it does not do anything outside it is range and if you want one here it costs only 225Ą at max rating (MAD Scanner (Rating 1–3) Rating x 75Ą)
Radar sensor is much more powerful it works on 6 times the range, you say that it loses the power to see cyberware after the first 15, right? then why can it still perceive iron doors and stone walls and humans later on? if it works in the 100 m range why can it only see cyberware in the first 15? is there some logical explanation why this arbitrary number?
It can be used to detect weapons and cyberware on a person in the same way as millimeter wave radar (p. 255, SR4)this is matter of interpretation, I agree, but this states the way not the distance or the way the dice should be rolled. if it works exactly the same way then why not write it follows exact the same rules? i think it described the functionality of the sensor more then the attributes. stating it uses waves to see trough the person and see non-biological stuff on him.
The advantage to the radar sensor is that it can “see” through walls and other materials, which appear as translucent. This system is excellent for detecting motion (even as slight as breathing), calculating exact distances, and allowing the character to visualize floorplans, locations of people, and placement of materials like weapons. It is unaffected by visual tricks like camouflage and Invisibility spells.Why will these functions work as well just for 15m and then become a blur?
My point in short - How can i allow a device to see trough a wall and see a human there in the distance of 80m if you say it does not see a LMG in a coat in the distance of 20m.
Hope this looks like no explosion but an argument
not meaning to take away Sichr's Monopoly.
