My apologies for the slow week. It's been a little rough on my end, and I'll be making an emergency trip to CalFree for some family stuff, so I may not get an update this afternoon before I leave. I should have internet access and the pure energy of caffienated goodness flowing through my veins tonight, so I'll try and get something up.

 Again, my apologies.

No worries.

Whine! Whine, piss & moan! Oh, and some bitching, too.

[Yogi]

Must have been some weekend in CalFree.

[kv]

Yeah, sorry about that. What was supposed to be fifty people showing up turned into twenty, of which about five of us were there. It was a big ordeal, and we spent the next 15 hours moving furniture at my parent's and dealing with tired and cranky people.

When my friend Gary asked about it, I told him I slid across the finish line face-first; I was pretty wrecked. I did get a good night's sleep out of it, and I'll hopefully be able to get on tonight and post the next initiative pass.

There, you should be able to enjoy your deadly di-hydrogen monoxide now!

So drones or vehicles in general seemed to have gotten depowered a bit.  I remember purchasing AV rounds for my weapons just to make sure I could put a dent in something.  I will admit full auto powerful but even in third you doubled vehicle armor against it unless it was AV rounds.

Yeah, vehicle combat is way different in SR4.  But keep in mind that Scarlet has an Agility of 9 and Automatics skill of 6.  We're talking better than world-class olympian here.  Throw a Smartlink on top of that, a device that makes you shoot better, well now you know the context.  Granted that a submachine-gun is a smaller caliber round than an assault rifle, but enough shots at the same spot will eventually get through.  Well, not in all situations, but you get my meaning I hope.

Vehicle armor is rolled with vehicle Body to resist damage just like characters do.  However, the only caveat is that if the incoming damage does not exceed the armor rating, the attack automatically does no damage (a rule which characters don't receive the benefit of).  Had Scarlet shot a single shot, with 1 net hit, she would be doing a modified DV of 6.  With the drone having 6 armor, KV wouldn't even need to roll, the damage automatically fails to get through.  The only reason the drone was damaged is because Scarlet fired so many rounds, and is extremely good at shooting those kinds of weapons.

I'll have a post up tomorrow folks.

No rush, Yogi, I won't be able to post until tomorrow night at the earliest.

Since Ingo is awesome, he set up a subforum for us. This is so that maps, characters, and details won't get lost as they get older, or more runs start. I appreciate it, thank you Ingo.

You're very welcome.  I'll remove all the "this thread was moved" posts in a couple of days just to make sure all involved parties know what's going on.

Good as my attempt to post at lunch was interrupted by a nap.   I think I ate too much at the department BBQ.    It's a good thing I'm 3 hours ahead of you.

Does recoil not carry over anymore? Or was it just in the old edition that penalties for recoil screwed up a runner's day?

[Ingo Monk]

Recoil is per pass I think?
