OOC - Ongoing Game Questions

if there's time (and it's worth the trouble) can I spread some digital rumors? Leave some info to send hunters in the wrong direction, or just mask where we are actually going?

Do we think a comm jammer is worth it? Would you install if Ad-hoc?

sure I can install it, not sure if it's the type of thing we could install on route or if it needs to be done before we leave. Not sure if it's worth it. What the difference between buying one, and using the ships computers to jam comms?

Hey all, I've had a major system failure at work that requires all (my) hands on deck for the next few days. I'll peek in when I can, but I may not be able to update for lack of time or mental resources for the next few days.

You could coordinate with Blih. We set up traces of a fake mission to bring gears to a isolated colony in the outer rim. Blih can use that cover to ask about that sector.

At the same time he will spread rumor that he heard the pod message and place the last location of the treasure ship to an adjacent sector

ugh, good luck man. Sounds like the time we had to deal with one of our engineers using a shady USB flashdrive.
That's a great idea!

@Crazybirdman - The Comms Jammer or [Electronic Countermeasures Suite] is dedicated hardware that is an upgrade to the ships systems. Kind of the difference between an off the shelf Laptop and your Slicing deck. :)

'Designed to blind and deafen enemy ships, electronic countermeasures suites such as Fabritech 995 ECM system transmits a dense stream of white noise and junk data that fogs sensors and jams comms traffic within close range of the broadcasting ship.'

I don't have an opinion on if you need one, just providing data since it's come up.

@oddtrails - Yuk, and Sorry.

riiigggght, 'No Opinion' :D


Well, I guess my only concerns are 1) Can we target enemy ships with it, and still talk to to allies? [just thinking of our last/only space encounter] 2) Why would we put it on a ship we don't own?

Well maybe, given the cost, we'll leave the jammer. Ken is looking for super high status stuff like padded armour and a holdout blaster so maybe that's out of his league right now!

Btw, Blih will use his disguise kit also to change his appearance to a gruff middle aged human before going to ask and plant the infos.

@Esidrix What would the computers difficulty be to spread false information digitally? After that my character will be ready to leave the wheel.

@CrazyBirdman - If your coordinating stories with Blih, let's do an Average (PP) roll to plant some misleading info and to preform some searches for places you want people to think your going.

Thank you sir!

Ok, things have settled down for me. I'll make a post explaining what Jeswain has been up to soon.

Glad that didn't run longer, for your sake. :D

After Oddtrails catches his breath and makes his post, I'll move us along :)

There maybe some confusion because MacRogers says he normally pays half not half late? I thought it was 500 from the first job, and 200 from Dancy (plus whatever you have left from character creation and starting 'pocket change' roll)

Oops, you're right. We got 1/2 the 500 up front and the other 1/2 was given by MacRogers. Thanks

So total of 700 from the game stuff.

True, but I can't imagine what else I would use it on at this point. None of my gear has any attachments available (slicer gear, tool kit), except the goo gun. And the goo gun has one hard point, and only one available attachment. I don't plan on having my character carry any weapons until something happens in story to convince him that's a good idea. And even then I can always get another rank in Tinkerer. So may as well have someone else benefit from it! :)

Let's say you keep it and if we come up with a reason for one of us others to need it then you can add the hardpoint as and when?
