Cory. Few things for ya, brother.
First off, gang wars! I frequent the Yakuza Gambling Den quite often, and I like the idea that one day I walk in, and K. Horizon or the Los bum-rush the place with 10+ mobs. The enemy sees a CK in the midst, and offers [x] cred to throw down against the 'Kuza. Agree or deny, it's be you and who you choose to side with, in this case, me, a few Y. Assassins, a Samurai, and maybe a bossa versus about twenty dudes. D: Love it.
Secondly, have you guys kicked around the idea of small instances? Not just Operations, but like, opening a manhole on a rumor you heard on the streets... Possibly a random encounter, with a sufficient Charisma check, that someone lets you know of a stash someone tipped them on, or they need to tell someone because they got the ax in that gang. Ammo, poppers, guns, maybe a v-chip or even a fixer? The instance might have yet-unknown muties down there, or even a few gangers because it's their hideout...?
Lastly, Prototype c-plants. I like the idea of them being vastly rare, maybe only available at tinkerer parlors, or from mega-corps... But they'd be wicked-powerful [EMP generator, debuffing opponent's implants; A slave-synaptic CPU, which lowers total DV thanks to taking a brunt of the power and processing load; Pneumatic pilebunker cyberweapons, which deal massive MP damage, making capturing targets much easier and help those of us who enjoy a good brawl; and maybe even an epinephrine generator and administrator, which floods your system with adrenaline, and increases certain stats based on total DV, a lower DV [not counting the cost of the device itself] would result in greater stat increase when it is activated...]... But because they're prototypes, they might tend to malfunction on occasion, or even debuff you... They might even come cheap, because of endorsements, or maybe if you buy nothing but Yakashumi gear, they offer it to you for balls-cheap... And maybe you're only allowed one prototype. o3o
Oh! Have we factored in facial reconstruction as a heat-dropper? Expensive, time-consuming, but it would basically reset all of your rep and heat for all factions except the one you got the surgery from...?
One last one! Have we considered security detail? For instance, escorting a few Yakuza bosses to a meeting, then chilling outside in case some goons come knocking? The honchos wouldn't bring their own goons, because it would attract attention, so they only bring your squad...?
Which reminds me. Like we can name our capitans and ship seperately, can we name our Cyber Knight and our team independantly?
I'll stop. D:
