Changed my mind. Bring railgun versions.

Daniel don't need no vacsuit, he made his morph vacuum survivable. He is also tough enough that one of the only things that could kill him in one action is a surprise attack from a fully automatic railgun sniper rifle with special rounds hitting him in the face repeatedly. Most of his armor is skin deep, and his fray ain't bad either. Combine this with the potential to get the maximum level of speed and the only downer to him combat wise is he refuses to carry an obvious weapon because he believes that might be harmful to his reputation.

Ahh negotiator morality.

Bah, I'm pretty much done with Ol' NotSure The only changes I need to make is add shock proof to my armour. I am tempted to take a dog, but then I would probably need to make sure it could survive in Vacuum or else it'd be toast if he got sucked in somehow and then he'd died and I'd be sad

@Krylo: Man, my guy is a totally competent Combatant! I was going to take a better fire arm, but the Microwave Agonizer just seemed to fun to pass up.

Slight question just to be perfectly sure about how I am building my current version of Daniel. Can kinetic weapons work in a vacuum?

Dignity is for people who don't suffer from obsessive masturbational habits. No, that's not me, that's just Ellen's OCD.

Hey, proposal: Let's differentiate between spam and stuff that we want PF to read by making the "PLEASE READ" stuff dark orange.

Hey, it's worked before.

And now just let me repost something here:

Wait, what? You're talking about augmentations here, right? As in, page 300 onwards? And you're saying that they're backed up on our brain? As in, part of our ego? What if the enhancements just come with the Morph we're using?

Read up, I happen to edit my most recent post to take account for the fact that three or more posts happen while I was writing it and you're all asking five thousand relevant or less-relevant questions while I beg someone to make a moderately viable catgirl gunslinger and someone insults my otaku feminimity.

If I spelled that right, whatever.

Two words; "Post Scarcity". That money stuff, those credits? Those only exist in the inner system hellhole controlled by those evil hypercorp guys. You use them in chargen because they're convenient, but otherwise when you 'purchase' an implant, or more likely pull a string/call a favor to get the design for one to be placed in your body, you're buying a contract, or a lisence, much like a modern software lisence, to run that implant on that specific morph.

Repairs, replacement, that's included. You couldn't on the other hand, get it put in another morph without paying for THAT, unless you pirated it or hacked it or copied it or had your own healing vat/CM to install it, but... That'd be illegal, which may or may not matter to you, or to anyone else. Legality on say a scum barge operating out in the middle of nowhere isn't really enforced by men in blue shirts, they're enforced by Mr. Giovanni over there.

Mr. Giovanni has a morph specifically designed for breaking kneecaps, see?

But it matters in chargen, so there.

Geminex · 05-22-2010, 09:13 PM

Ah, right. Sorry about missing that. I still think we should use orange to specify stuff that we want you to read.

Ok, so we have the Ego (skills, aptitudes), brain (biological augmentations) and morph (cyber-implants, morph modifiers). Is that correct?

And there's nothing wrong with Otaku femininity! I as just planning to make my morph male, and cat-ears wouldn't really complement that. Though, since I'm gonna go with an inferior morph to begin with anyway, I could make it female with cat-ears. As long as the cat-ears are free and I get my Ghost soon enough.
...
Deal?

Ego/Morph, mainly. The brain thing is... Just consider everything in the morph salvagable unless they break that.

Orange is fine, but I don't like clockwork.

Edit, down: Ellen already did it, it'd just be overused by now.

Geminex · 05-22-2010, 09:38 PM

Hey, we could all get cat-ears. The Neko Squad, we'd call ourselves.

And thanks for the idea, PF. My char's favorite song will be Bethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Edit: And do Smart Vacsuits count as armor clothing? Or can we wear both, along with armor vests? Oh, and can we get multiple skin pockets?
