VCC committee finishes work, but until then...
I'm creating a rigger character, and my plan is to out fit a Ares Roadmaster
with the Van Body, and use this to store my drones and other equipment.
Unfortuntely, the vehicle is completely unarmered, a situation I'd prefer
to fix before getting into nasty situations. However, according to the
rules, for every point of armor added, my speed drops -5/-15. Since the
beast only goes 30/90 to begin with, this creates quite a problem.
Now, one step up is the Ares Citymaster, with comes with 4 points of armor
in SI (12 points SII), but without any other reductions in performance.
However, the price jumps from 45K to 500K. I don't really care about the
command/control electronics and other such drek, I just want the undercarriage,
and engine, so I can put a Roadmaster shell on it, and armor it up a bit.
Does anyone have suggestions as to how to modify a vehicle in this fashion,
and what kind of pricing structure I'd use to simulate it?
Thanks,
