The Rigger2 CF is a whole lot bigger than the RBB version. Going from a
unit of mass mesure (25 kilos), which would come out to .025 cubic meters
of water, to a unit of volume makes a whole lot more sense. When I hear
cargo, I think space. Now that we have Load and bigger CF, I can finaly
build some REAL vehicles!
Now the only real problem I have with R2 is economy. I know the reason
it's low is to fit with SUX-2000-type-gas-guzzling-grittyness of a
cyberpunk(-ish) setting. But come on... What if someone wants to make a
long range van type thing like my group had with RBB? I really can't since
the best economy I can get with a van is 2.37mpg! Oh sure, I could, if I
went and gave it a 500 gallon gas tank...(?!?!?) Where would I put it? I
guess I could just continue and add economy with the standard formula and
ignore maximums. Can anyone think of any problems I might run into if I did
this? Besides jacking prices throught the roof that is. :)
