2 CK questions / thoughts

Okay the first ... mission not allowed

I select a mission where I am taking something somewhere using my headware (rather than a physical package). Each time I choose that type of mission, I get a response: "I am afraid you don't have the necessary hardware, chummer. You'll need some Headware Memory and a dataport"
I have
* Dataport II
* Memory (40MP)
* Fairlight Tactical Comp (1000 MP + 3 jobs)

What am I missing?


The second .. if your runner dies in combat, how do you recover his/her gear?
I sometimes on a whim give my runners gear, but then they go and get themselves shot up and killed. First of all it's really rude, but second, what happens to that gear? Are you able to search for it to get it back?

Also, once runners have left your service, if you find them again, do they still have your gear, or have they pawned it off to make some chedder?

For the first question, I was having that problem myself a while ago. Make sure you have your headgear knight/runner negotiating, I had my Hund asking and it kept telling me the same.

As for the second, when a runner goes and gets the crap shot out themselves and die they seem to like to keep your expensive equipment (greedy bastards)

[hissrad]

And if you dismiss a runner or their contract runs out you can pick them up in a backroom(or a kennel for a hund). They hang on to the stuff you give them, that's expensive stuff and would help them even if their not working for you.

There is no way to get the gear back, assuming you have permadeath on. I've been known to use the last turn of a doomed runner to get undressed, though. Make sure that the same char has the memory and the dataport, and make sure that char is the one whose face is showing when you go talk to the connector.

[slayernz]

Okay thanks for the advice.
In which case, it would probably make for a useful enhancement request ...
Have the ability to change characters when you are in an establishment. Be it hunting for medical implants, to talking with connectors, to buying gear.

Oh oh ... and yeah, and another enhancement request - make it so that if your runner dies and you are victorious in combat, then doing a search will allow you to recover the runner's gear.

slayernz - both are already on the wishlist for a long time --

#CK-678 - roll to recover death Runner's gear
#CK-2425 - check all team members for appropriate headware setup for courier jobs

The headgear thing drives me crazier than the dead runner gear. Dead runners keeping equipment at least makes you try to keep them breathing if you invest at all in them. Being rejected because the wrong person is ringing the doorbell is just annoying, triply so when it happens in Backrooms.
