The character on the first page is great and good to read. So that makes two or four.

[Crash_00]

Here is Squid if he is able to fit. He's a Nautical Engineer with the ability to drive a boat (and a minor ability to rig it), but he's also got plenty of ability to defend the ship as well. I'll post a detailed background if he is able to make it in.

My suggestion would be to drop the specializations and up your gunnery. Other than that, the character looks ok,

[crisses]

SO you think. Remember bags can be burst or punctured

I am well aware that nothing can get in the way of a determined GM. 

But one could not say I hadn't thought to have waterproof bags...I just neglected to make sure they were puncture-resistant hard-cases with pressurized compartments and self-healing leakproof seals....   **hints to other players**

[SeriousOne338]

Don't make me become too creative. 

[crisses]

Crash_00:  does Squid have a mother tongue? 

[Crash_00]

Ya, it's English, forgot to add it into Chummer when I put the character in there.

[All4BigGuns]

Actually tempted to try coming up with something to go in reserve here since the actives seem to be pretty durn full.

Question on Pirated Programs.
They degrade over time (1 point per one or two months, depending on which kind of program).
To patch a program against this degradation, a hacker needs to do a Software + Logic(Threshold=Degradation, Interval 1 Week).
Say I have 4 pirated programs, do I have to do them all seperately, losing a month (4 x 1 week) in the process (and wasting a lot of hits, a good hacker will have a high dicepool vs a threshold of 1)?
Or can I say "Okay, I've got 4 points of degradation to patch" and if I get 4 hits on the programming test, patch all 4 programs in a week?

Seriously hoping the second, Hacker/Rigger costs so much

[Lethe]

Don't you want to ask that in the rules and such section?
I would say each at once, but you can always rush the job to cut intervals in half. Also there is the option to join a piracy group and get there cheap pirated upgrades. Maybe even for free, if you contribute with some self hacked/programmed patches. Exchange rate might be like in the open source option.

[crisses]

Seriously hoping the second, Hacker/Rigger costs so much

Get open source software and contribute bugfixes upstream.  That's what I do.  Oh, wait -- that's Real Life™

What a bummer.  Your programs would degrade faster than you could fix them.  Maybe you could patch software full-time between runs because it's "1 week @ 8 hours a day" technically -- so you could do 2 in tandem if you don't need more than 8 hours a day to eat, poo, sleep, trim sail (or whatever you do on the ship...).

Technomancer?  That takes care of that problem....adds others....especially in the middle of the ocean without being able to use a satlink...

[Xzylvador]

Oh, forgot asking/saying.
Considering we're being pirates and all, I'm guessing (and building accordingly) that we won't be as low-profile as normal shadowrunners? (No crowds/cities where we need to blend in and such.)

[crisses]

Note:  updated my char sheet:
Edit: Added clips & ammo.  Meant to.  Doh.  Pulled 1 rank (4 Karma) out of Knowledge: Doc Wagon HTR Methods.  Added marine +2 specialization to Navigation.  Have 1 spare karma floating around now.

[vinnmun]

DO what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate.

[SeriousOne338]

Not sure what to do, more cash for gear? or just save it for later.
