Hi!

My friend Olaf Kramer thought up a few cards which he wants me to
forward to the list for evaluation. I know they´re not as developed as
they possibly could be. I regret the Yen/Nuyen symbol isn´t available
with my software. Here they are (translated from German):

1) GMC Banshee
Gear (Vehicle/Helicopter)
Deployment cost 10
Threat rating: +8/+4 (A3)
Play on Rigger with Piloting 2 or Mercenary. User may hold but not use
other Gear. Not usable against Indoor Challenges. Trashes Barrier
Challenges.

2) Rocket Launcher (Yes! And he didn´t even know of our list discussion
on this.)
Gear (Ranged Weapon/Rocket Launcher)
Deployment 5
Indirect Fire.
Turn user to inflict 6 AP damage to one target Runner and any other
present Runner receives D6 damage. Place a Usage token on Rocket
Launcher and roll D6 after each use. If the result is equal to or lower
than the number of tokens, frag user.

3) The Mall
Location
Deployment 4
Turn a Runner to visit and name any Gear/ Non-Vehicle card in Your deck.
Roll D6. 1-3: Gear not available, 4: Draw named Gear card from deck, pay
cost and deploy on visiting Runner. 5: Gear is over-priced. Deploy at
+1D6 cost. 6+: As 4, cost -1D6, minimum 1.
