I have been digging through the Riggers Black Book, trying to outline one
of the vehicles that my character has in ShadowTK, but I just can't seem
to find any rules for scratchbuilding vehicles... They seem to hint at
player vehicle designs, but... Anyone know anything? House design rules?

(jericho.connected.com 4040) | "Yeah, it should be just a bit larger than
(Stellar down due to TD :( ) | your shoulders."

About the scratchbuilding rules: there is a set of them out there somewhere, t
hat are pretty good for designing a combat vehicle. I think the better part of
them is at teetot.acusd.edu, in pub/Beelzebub/Role-Playing/Shadowrun/Vehicles
if I remember right. Last time I looked, they had good rules down for all of t
he structural stuff (including engines, body, armor, acceleration, etc.) and th
e only thing missing was accessories (stats from book, but have to figure size
yourself). Check it out.

Frrom what I've read of the RB,, You start with a Vehicle facility, then
you need plans from an engineer. Then you need the parts (some of which
you whould have to build). This of course assumes that you have the
appropriate B/R skills. Then you need the time and the money.
I don't remember reading howlong (or the formulas for figuring out how
long it will take) it will take. I think the books just skim over
the idea because it's far easier to just buy a car strip it down for
the parts you want (ie the frame, body panels, after they've been modified)
and then buy the engine, The suspension, the armor, and any other special
goodies and have done with it.
Thats how my rigger built his stuff.

I assume that the original question was more for GMs and Players
who want to build vehicles, not for the character. If it is the
character, their best bet would be to get a _lot_ of Nuyen and hire
somebody to take care of it all for them.
