One of the great things about “special terrain rules” is that their scope/allowable breadth is very loosely defined. You could just use “here on...
Right, good catch. Honestly hits actually land on Jazz so rarely that I forget that bit sometimes (more complexity).
Do you follow The Dice Abide’s stuff? They use a lot of terrain rules, and the satellite tourney that he and WiseKensai and some other folks run...
Sidenote, there's a really interesting split in the way that changes like this could be implemented. These changes and tweaks to hacking and...
High emotions aside, this has been a very productive thread, with some good perspective, examples, and arguments. The issues we have discussed...
Especially with the light shotty to back it up if someone tries to inside-range it.
Increased DAM instead of pulling out Firewall bonuses still hits other hackers who are not Tinbot/Firewall-protected harder. It seems better to...
Ah gotcha. I wasn't actually saying the Zhanying with Tinbot support is a worthy head to head opponent for Jazz, I was saying the Zhanying with...
I did run the numbers, I think you had them wrong on the one you ran. : You had adjusted the stats for Firewall above, but then also added a...
Lookin’ really good! You do well with that dark blue, really works well with the other colors on the Defiance crew.
The example you gave of a mid-tier hacking faction was YJ, and you’re ignoring the Zhanying hacker plus Hsien Tinbot example I gave right after...
Maybe KHDs need a program that cuts through Firewall, but with lower Burst or something.
Jazz with a Tinbot -6 does suck to attack, and that’s appropriate for Nomads, CA, Aleph, etc. Same for a Zhanying attached to a Tinbot Hsien or...
Not sure I agree there. Playing YJ, camo hackers are still pretty useful at taking out Nomad hackers. I've been on the giving and receiving ends...
Excellent point that the problem of complexity just got hidden in profiles, instead of being in a list of different programs that people could at...
Agreed. It's a bit over-hyped, and I say this as a frequent Moran abuser myself. It's annoying that you have to plan for it and are 50% likely to...
Deactivators used within area/range of effect of a deployable (so the 8” band mostly) should be high-stakes (like demining in real life). If the...
In a faction with tons of very skilled Doctors, some of which can heal 2W up fully, 1W and NWI are definitely not as good as 2W and an actual...
Yeah… models don’t really fit into silhouettes well in the S3-S4 range. You could fudge it pretty easily.
It is a lot of points yep, but totally worth it IMO, especially if it reduces the burden of tailoring the rest of your list around bear problems....
