commander archtype(s). What I have in mind is someone who
stays behind the "lines" feeding his team info, as well
as co-ordinating their assaults, etc.
One idea I have for this commanders archtype are helmets
that are also "drones." By drones I mean they have tech
that allows the commander to monitor the situation via
these helmets. What I am proposing is installing some
Sensors packages in the helmets. I have also considered
the concept, since such things do not exist and the rules
for drone construction are so vague, of adding cybersenses
(eyes/ears) to the helmet that are linked to the sensors.
- Do you folks think it is feasible to install a sensors
package in a helmet?
- What sort of information could the commander/rigger derive
from this info if he/she is "jacked" into these helmets?
- If you linked some eyes/ears to the sensors, could they
be employed? (I know this is sorta etheric as far as technology
goes, but there are very weak rules for this sort of thing IMHO).
- How about some sort of medkit linked to the sensors to
monitor the lifesigns of the team member?
I have also contemplated the notion of adding an Encephalon
to the commander archtype so that he can "multitask" in such
a way that allows his to keep focused on several members of
his team.
This is merely the beginning of an idea- all suggestions
are welcomed and encouraged...
