Sent, let me organize the downtime again (by the healing roll, Fractal will be a hundred percent as soon as he sleep a little):

1º day - Selling Enrico's Foci
2 - Trying to buy the Tacsoft (Rushing the Job) - 6 hits, no glitch
3 - Trying to buy the Tacsoft (Rushing the Job) - 6 hits, no glitch; total - 12 hits
4 - Trying to buy the Tacsoft (Rushing the Job) - 7 hits, no glitch; total - 19 hits Dangerously close to glitch, but it didn't happen - Tacsoft Rating 3 w/ Ergonomic option acquired (cost is 9300 nuyen, each team member contributes with 1860 nuyen for the cost to be even).
5 - Fractal calls Miguel Sanchez to see if he can patch six of his softwares to also be ergonomic (the total cost would be around 1800 nuyen); he also buys a Simrig on the regular market (1000 nuyen) using his fake ID;
6 - If Tabitha is available at night, Fractal would buy her a drink.


EDIT: Just as a financial note: If this spending are approved, Fractal would still have 6625 nuyen with him - 3000 of these he would give to Omar for the drone's repair/upgrades.

Oops. No fractal left for parts, equipement and weapons also not sure about that money...not that Im against (even if thats hammer) but that I need some things for myself

The money part is really not that much. Remember that each of us also got 4800 nuyen more just by the selling of the foci, so that's 1860 won't hurt that much; everyone is still profitting.

And if it's really needed, Fractal still has half a day to spend (although he preffer to be relaxing and partying hard than being errands boy). 

[Sichr]

Well, see here for price of upgrades and repairs...and weapons also. Omar uses his 11000, so it is up to the team to get another 6050 together, if we want it all.
Highes availability is HERF gun: 16F

And we still lack ECM or good SmartJammer...

[Netzgeist]

As I said, Fractal alone can contribute with 3000 nuyen; but that's after everyone pays for the TacSoft, which I think is priority. I also believe Mouse will have something to contribute to the pool, since he also is one of our tech-guys.

And I guess the HERF Gun will need to wait for the next down-time. 16 on the dice is something I need at least three rolls, I there's not that much time left after all.

But it's in the list for the next downtime, for sure (as well as editing the footage).

I will probably be unable to post further until friday. See you later.

Using Krivlov, Miguel and Tabby to swag, but need to know their respective  Charisma+Negoation points to make the rools

I am really busy lately (you might have noticed).
so just a single note: if you want to buy something that is costing over 10+ knuyen, and availability of 21, think about having it somewhere inside a month from now game time, maybe faster if Fractal himself start looking for it, but if you ask Kirilov or Miguel to get it for you, they'll get 4-6 hits per week I think, unless of course you drop in some serious nuyen.

on the assumption this is correct i will change the interval and presume that Sam can get his packages as well
both guns avalibility 12 interval 2 days - 4-6 hits per inteval -> 4-6 days to get it
ammo and Smartgun mod For Lips - > avalibility 16 interval 1 days - 4-6 hits per inteval -> 3-4 days to get it

money after all expenses =4k - additional cost to get the gear(like ?10%? for Swag) = this Sam is willing to invest in Drones, So Omar can be sure that there are at least 2k or 3k Coming his way.

Mouse, any upgrades for Dobbey?
Also...
While Im working on this, can you take care of our roof?
Spof another month

I was thinking of a couple of Pilot 4 programs for both Dobbey and Wiz along with their respective machinery autosofts. For Wiz, I think, a Covert Ops Autosoft along with a perception enhancement maybe even a sensor upgrade depending on what Unca Omar would suggest there. For Dobbey, a LMG autosoft. Even a covert ops autosoft as well. And the encryption program. I think that would be all they could run.

Mouse will attempt to spoof a lifestyle in between working with Unca Omar on Dobbey and Wiz and any repairs/maint on the drones.

[snake_eyes]

Here it is:

Eric's Commlink (at the time I got it)

Erik Fjordson Commlink
Response 5, Signal 5, System 5, Firewall 5    
Programs: Browse 5, Edit 5, Command 5, Analyze 5 and Encrypt 5   

It's programs have all degraded to 4 by now, and are bound to degrade to 3 next month if no patch is installed on them.


So right now, Eric Commlink is like that:
Erik Fjordson Commlink
Response 5, Signal 5, System 4, Firewall 4    
Programs: Browse 4, Edit 4, Command 4, Analyze 4 and Encrypt 4

Fractal wouldn't charge any team member to get a piece of gear he has and to which he has no need of.

Where is this comlink at? Mouse wants...
Mouse has a natural sim rig being a TM, but I could get some glasses that have low-light, flare comp, thermal, and ultrasound. That would be cool...an expensive pair of shades. 

Right now I'm looking at the following:
Glasses R4 (low-light, flare comp, thermal, and ultra-sound) -- 1,450
For Dobbey: Targeting(LMG), Maneuvering (Doberman), and Firewall all at R3  -- 3,600
For Wiz: Covert Ops, Maneuvering (Fly Spy), and Clear Sight all at R3 -- 4,500
Plus a bio-monitor -- 300

That totals to 9,850 before the TactNet
Mouse has Mr. Lips' comlink, so he will give it back.


What is the cost to update the pilot of a drone?
What are the costs to upgrade the response time and signal ratings of comlinks?

[snake_eyes]

Good. More on Drones and Weapon support setup.
So far we have
Rover: LMG
D1, D2: SMG
Dobbey: Unarmed
This guns may be changeable for purpose
My advice is:
One more White Knight (or any casual LMG) to have two weapon platforms
HREF gun for Electronic warfare purposes
Chameleon coating for at least one Dobermans, for Covert ops purposes
Gecko pads for all of them, so they are able to operate despites Terrain obstacles
At least 1 Winch
I would love to upgrade Dalmatian also, but right now it is beyond my reach.
Sam
Next time we are going to infiltrate with drones, you should be able to use your Infiltration skill for it, since Anyone can be jumped in via VR, rig only gives +2 dices for driving. So maybe Pilot ground vehicle skillsoft r1 may be the option, with your Move-by-wire it is good choice (Oh its bloody expensive, Ive just find that in the book ) well it can be defaulted (Pilot ground craft, so no problem)

Dobbey has the LMG from the security drone (unless you give it back.)

[snake_eyes]

Mouse does have enough after his share of the TackSoft to pool for the rest. He would have 6,540 remaining. Since Unca Omar was doing some hardware upgrading for Dobbey and perhaps Wiz (the chameleon coating /w the covert ops prog would be useful) he was going to use some of that to help out Unca Omar.

Mouse has a few days to play with, so other than helping Unca Omar and spoofing next months lifestyle he could probably find the patches you need. Or send a sprite to do it.

Sent: what kind of rolls do i need to make?

[Sichr]

That casual LMG will be placed on Rover, since it has no recoil compensation and Dobbey makes only 3 points with body 3. It is heavy weapon, so uncompensated doubles. Thats why I vote for another Whiteknight, because that has 5(6) points built in...with 3 dobernam it is longburst+shortburst with no penalty and full auto with -4 (we have two SMG in reserve with RC2, if you want to pack light)

Chameleon coating Wiz is 1000Y

So...if the TacNet is for weeks, Id prefere that HREF gun (good against vehicles, drones, sentries, cybered characters...only positives well Im not paid by Ares for advertisement...)

Well, Fractal aready managed to buy the Tacnet in three days; the HERF gun will have to wait for next week.

snake, that link i described was the one Fractal took from Erik during the /trashing the body electric mission, and which he lended to Lips this time (and now he "donated" to Sam).... But don't worry, Fractal can teach Mouse how to kidnap managers of little corporations an steal their items one of these days...

[Sichr]

Hm. You may missed that HERF was only part of the package, which consists of: Parts for reparations, weaponry for drones, upgrades.
And you know...
Until now, every run was about getting the most pacifist solution ever. Only military type was Omar, and he was hated for this
And instantly
Team changed into Military unit.
Omar`s vote, if ther is a vote, is to have diverse weaponry and possible tools rather than +3 bonus.
Since Omar is working as a slave, spending all money and time to keep machinery working and ready for next run without any real chance to get some character improvements or financial reserves, he would argue hard about this, well he will comply to the team vote. I hope that this discussion happens BEFORE all money  and time is spent...

(for me, its more personal dislike to how tacnets work because it is that when you get 10 grunts from the street, pack them with some sensors and run tacnet 4 for them, they`ll be able to beat the shit out of anything with this +4 bonus...with NO skill for using or operating the software or tactics knowledge at all )

[Kouryuu]

snip...

I and Sam agrees with Omar, even though it was originaly my proposal, it shoul Never interfere with upkeeping and upgrading what we have
there has been a lot of talk about a team HQ, Tactsoft. All garnish, but we do not have a clue how our TEAM works, do we have a leader or votes. what are team expe-ses what private. who has what responsibilities.


Sam and Omar have military backgrounds, not sure about others.
my point beeing, we have to think how can we make a team, not what soft would make us one.
sorry for pushing this.

[Sichr]

I thought about that on my way home from work.
I understand, that everyone, even me as a player, loves + dicepool modificators. Well from the gameplay perspective, I see that this is pretty dull.
IMO its better to have variability in equipement and firepower, and clever solutions (like that lucky taper bug), then:
+3

On the other side, I can clearly see the moment when dicepools come to play and Ill hit my desk with my forehead shouting:
God, gimmie another +3 dices!!!! 

I and Sam agrees with Omar....

      Ill be damned!!
