PhoenixFlame Presents: Eclipse Phase

[rapter200]

Ok finally done, spent that 75 CP on money and bought stuff with it so as not to screw anything up.

[Dracorion]

You know, looking back, maybe I should go with Hypercorps as Ellen's faction instead.

... nah, I couldn't do that to Krylo.

[PhoenixFlame]

Everyone done yet? I still need to balance my lens ideas agaisnt each other and alternatives, so that may take a little research. Expect them to appear as new technology early in.

[Arhra]

Done like a nun!

[Dracorion]

Yeah, provided Krylo doesn't find anything else wrong, I'm done. Probably. I there's still a small chance I'll decide to change Ellen to Hypercorps for the hell of it.

Or just fuck it all to hell and make a Fury.

I'll try to resist the urge to do so until we start, I promise!

[Aerozord]

sheet is done, bio I'm still perfecting, but will basically be what I posted before

[Overcast]

Finished for sure, no more money to spend, no more skills to edit, and too damn stubborn to change anything else.

[Geminex]

Too damn stubborn

You can say that again.
Ok, sorry.

I'm still doing the maths on sniper rifle vs. Assault rifle, but against a single target, I think the sniper rifle takes the prize. Oh, and I just PMed PF with some questions, among them being:

If you buy one dose of payload, will that be enough for 100 bullets? Or just one? Say, I'm buying capsule ammunition and Twitch to use it with. I pay trivial (50) for the ammo, and low (250) for the payload. 300 in total. Is that enough to get me 100 bullets' worth?

Reply was:

Splash payload are 1-per, as the doses themselves are costed per their dosage. It makes buying splash rounds kinda awkward, since you end up with 99 spare ones, but that's neither here nor there.

Meaning that, if you pay for one dose's worth of chemicals, you only get one round of splash/capsule ammo. You might wanna factor that into your ammo choice, OC.

[Overcast]

I was wrong I guess. Change off to a grand variety of less than lethal ammunition to change the place of Neuropath. And proxy ammunition for anti-nano effects.

[Geminex]

Ok, here we go. My treatsie on assault rile vs. sniper rifle ends with the sniper rifle as the clear winner... I haven't put down my calculations (I made them mostly in my head and on the train) but I think they're correct. And to preempt Krylo's comment, yes, I did spend too much time on this. Role-Playing Games Are Serious Business. I've also edited my ammo a bit, spent some more money. I think hollow-point homing should be our primary ammo, with armor-piercing reactive homing as our secondary against high-armor enemies. Biter is nice, but we lose the ability to use it with a homing round, and the +10 to attack roles could really help us...
