I have a quick question for the group. Would you mind the rules for sprites controlling drones? In particular I can post the question and link sent to me by one player. I'm all for it since I didn't know they couldn't in the first place. I always assumed there was some option out there that would allow it but I never did get many chances to play matrix based and when I did it wasn't long enough to even get submerision decently. I really should lay into those extra matrix books so I can know what I'm up against though. I only ever touched the base book and unwired but I think there was one more book that had some stuff for technomancers. I could be wrong on that.

I don't see why they wouldn't be able to. It's not like I won't be calling in a little wheeled ally myself via Command program should I need it. Just gotta be careful and use my little Darth Machina sparingly.

4d6=15
+12 = 13 500 starting nuyen!

As a side note, for the Ares Slivergun, do we use the 8P +5AP or +2AP?

I just want you to know...your luck pisses me off on a very low and deep level that has nothing to do with anything. I get minimum or close to every time. You lucky...

On note of the slivergun I think it uses flechette ammo normally but any gun that DOES use that ammo I allow Armor Piercing Flechette. Which gives the +2 DV and a +0 AP if you want to go for it. The slivergun COULD have it's own thing going on though. I still have to make sure I'm keeping up with the errata on some things. At first I thought I was ahead of the game but it seems like there were two releases AFTER that one that I never saw...including this thing on base bow damage.

I know it's unclear but I've always thought they could...machine sprites anyway.  Just replace the pilot program with their value.  I know it's then a grey area whether they get to use any autosofts the drone has but I'd allow it...what's more shades of grey in a cyberpunk game?!? 

Shrike is nearly complete.  Will try and post a link later...

I only got one over the average for 4d6...

The debate rages for the slivergun, since it says flechette, but arsenal (original print) lists it as 8dv +5ap, but the most recent print has it at +2 ap. Same as the remmington 990.

Alright Character is 99% done.

If anyone has any thoughts on it your welcome to pm me.

Starting Nuyen roll:

Starting Nuyen roll, I had some leftover money so the +1 (4d6+1=9)

Edit: need to read the rules better should have been +3

11 x 500 = 5,500

I have no idea how you guys can figure out how to spend all that nuyen.

Have you seen how expensive vehicles are

you could give me 100 million Nuyen and I would still be sad at what I couldn't get.

[bangbangtequila]

I didn't buy any vehicles, I still have to do my free 40k one, and then I get a couple sports cars leased under my High Lifestyle

Well with Shrike and Nycidian's character we should have more than enough transport to go round!  I've tweaked her away from the drone rigger angle but she still has some of that to add to her adequate hacking skills.  I hope there won't be too much character overlap/redundancy but if there is I'll try and move away from the drones angle more...

...and we'll all have TacNet [3] access so hopefully you're buying simrigs etc to get 6 channels of info .  If we want [4] that will have to be done in game, and by RAW I won't benefit from it so...

[Aria]

And here she is: <<Shrike>>.  I've got 500 nuyen or so left to spend (plus the freebie vehicle and lifestyles) and then add some more detail on her contacts but in the meantime any comments appreciated...does she have enough of a dice pool to be an effective hacker?  I've done about as much as I think I can but there are probably holes!

For our rigger, I would grab a Wandjina or something from This Old Drone, you can get bad ass drones with awesome weapon mounts for dirt cheap.

[Nycidian Grey]

Feel free to go combat drone heavy.

 I went more subtle, GMC delivery van, GMC delivery drones w/ concealed LMG's, Ferret security drones w/ Light pistols all with chameleon coating so I can make them look like any delivery service or security drone. The only real heavy combat drone I have is a VTOL with a sniper rifle (9P -8AP).

Sadly subtle wasn't cheap.

One good thing is I think my character is set up to be able to take over other people drones rather well. Though I'm not completely positive.

[bangbangtequila]

I am not saying go heavy into combat, but a wandjita has a rwinforced weapon mount, a normal mount, and is a fast aerial strike craft for under 20 .000 nuyen. It's nice to have something that can blow up a building, no?

[Nycidian Grey]

Unfortunately since I don't have access to an airfield a WANDJINA probably won't work to well but for less cost I can purchase 2 LONE STAR STRATO-9's which each have a reinforced weapon mount and are VTOL that I  may do.
