Everyone--
Is it just me or did they omit the price/availability/ect. for the BattleTac
system?(p. 59) The TCS on p. 58 has all the stats and is in the index at the
back. Anyone got an answer for this??

FA$A doesn't know how to put out a product that isn't screwed six way to
Sunday...If I didn't REALLY like the premise and the good ideas behind
most of their products I would have gone
elsewhere long ago though...

You're correct. They left it out. Errata time again, darn it.

maybe you guy's have just to read the the product's better.

Read the rules section (para.) "Telecomunication".
and you will find the something like the following(didm't have the book here).
"Telecomunication unit's which are equipt with the BattleTac System
cost 10 times as much as normal FOF comunication units."

also they say that the BattleTac system is only aviable for Corp armys.


Bye

BattleTac doubles the price of the commo system you get it for.
Avail is 21/24 I think.

First off it shouldn't be some hide and seek game just figure out what
the price is on some piece of equipment..And second the darn thing is so
full of typos it isn't even funny..Including using the Feminine instead
of the masculine in the story portion of the book..Juan Samuel Pererya is
the name of a man not a woman..and the whole darn story is in the
feminine..EXTREMELY annoying to me at least..What is FA$A trying to be
politically correct or something..ANd nobody out there go trying to flame
me as a woman hater or something because it simply ain't so..

Now that you mention it I do remember reading this...But there are
absolutely NO STATS on the stupid system..

Actually to quote from the book "...are restricted to elite corporate or
private units."
And this was a decker comment which is synonymous with Bu!!$#!t :)
Meaning it is a take it or leave it proposition..And besides since when
did the exclusive issue of an item ever keep it out of the hands of a
PC?? The Point is FA$A dropped the ball and released a product so full of
errors that it makes one want to scream....
