The lease-expires code hasn't been written yet, but TB have promised this for us. I want a phone in my safehouses.

grävling - I also like that idea. . . but the one concern I have with a phone in the safe house is that it would decrease the security of the house. That is to say, phones are traceable. So, perhaps using a phone in a safehouse could increase your heat, or risk initiating a trail? Trade-offs are great fun!

A free one without having to pay 5 nuYen? ;D And yeah, possibly, if we fail a Hack roll every time we use that phone, a "Your line has been traced due to your failure to set up the connection securely." message will appear and our Heat will increase. I'd also like to invite friends over for housewarming. Hard to do that without a phone. Heck, it might even look like a backroom gathering.  |

blackgauntlet - would be pretty interesting if you could "hold court" in your own safehouses... however, this would really make them -not- a safe place to be =) grävling - we are still working on the phone thing. As soon as design decisions are made, its always hard to change them (especially when hundreds of buildings were all built on top of the decisions).

As soon as design decisions are made, its always hard to change them (especially when hundreds of buildings were all built on top of the decisions). Yeah, understood. Feature 1But it'd be a good idea to delete the safehouse from our PDA if it is no longer safe (as in, Heat was generated when we were inside) and we had to re-purchase it. Feature 2Also, once the Matrix is up and running for real, hope we get to see Virtual Backrooms (in the form of Chatrooms) where CKs, Runners, Peddlers and Connectors hop in for some online transactions from secure locations. Heck, maybe a BBS with Thread postings that are actually jobs, deals, latest rumors, job applications, hints on how to play the game, flavor texts (SPAM) and 4chan . From how I visualize it, there should be some missions that are so urgent that Connectors could not spare the time to hang around IRL Backrooms, or beside their phones, waiting for CKs (whom are a rather rare breed due to all the horrible sacrifices they had to make) to approach them. Feature 3I'd like to be able to hack that damn Security Camera outside BraveStar's walls, those uppity bastards. And with the introduction of the Underground, I hope that there are more security breaches for us to exploit through the underground cabling and generators. Feature 4Will there be alternative exits for safehouses that leads to the Underground? I hear a resounding "Yes, please!" amongst the fans. ;D Feature 5Will there ever be toxins we can use as weaponry? Ticking damage is really fun. Especially if we are fast enough to run around the enemy in circles. Feature 6Wish List of Enemies 1) Mutants 2) Robots 3) Vehicles 4) Psionics 5) Named Assassins/Bounty Hunters (famous/infamous arch-rival CKs) that can only be killed during special events. Feature 7Alarm clocks on our PDAs would be nice. It'd be funny if it happened to ring when you're about to attempt to snipe a target, though. ;D Feature 8Salvage internal organs from dead enemies to sell to the black market doctors. It'd be like "Destroying" vessels on ST. |

Thanks, grav. I personally like the last feature best because I am reminded of Neuromancer where I had to sell a kidney to kick-start my Cyberpunk career. Never understood why I could not sell kidneys from someone other than myself. Since it's in such hot demand and there are cheap motels everywhere, I don't see why we couldn't make use of their bathtubs filled with ice. en.bab.la/dictionary/english-portuguese/motel |

I was thinking of that myself and trying to remember what game it was where you had to start by selling a kidney.

We could start a meme: "slicing one out".
As in:
1) I was about to be piss-poor... till I remembered that I could have just sliced one out.
2) Nothing could be done at this moment... should have been slicing one out when I had the chance.
3) He did all he could... and failed, when he could have just sliced one out.
4) If I had been slicing one out, I would have owned an apartment by now!
;D

@bg : I will address your list shortly, as I agree on most and disagree on some...
I know we are still in Beta, and I know that this has most likely come up before...
As we can negotiate our missions for extra ¥, why can't we negotiate our Hotel stays, Paydata sales, and Safehouse procurements?
Are they written and not activated?
Are they in line for debugging?
***back to @bg: Feature #3 : ha ha ha got me too. I admit I have tried with almost every update to see if I can get into it. No joke, lol. yeah I am a geek...
The funny part is that I thought I remembered seeing the camera address in the matrix...
guess I was wrong. Something's not right...

So which one do you disagree on? Yeah, negotiation's really downplayed to the point where it's at the lowest in my list of skills to up. Or at least, we can't see it working as it should. Like, "Usually, you'd have to pay nY 4,335,258 for that Lightfire pistol. But for you, I'd let it go for nY 500." |

I would like to see two things added to the initial safe house/motel status screen:
1. a box which shows the value your heat decreased by during your most recent 12 hour stay if any. Sometimes the other goes away to quickly.
2. the team leader's health bar so I can see at a glance the effect of resting/hiding out every 12 hours.
Sorry if this has been brought up before. I read the first 20 pages and skipped to the end.
Fantastic job, Chummer (gag - a bit sick of the term but I think I read about a dialogue rework)

Uh, no thanks. Chummer has a nice singular ring to it now that I think about it.
One more thing. In combat. It would be nice to have a reminder to tell you what your objective is.
Sometimes I have to put it down and get back to work and when I come back the missions start to run together. Some fugitives get smoked because I've had a memory lapse and figure it's worth a shot. It's hard to get paid for a snatch-and-run when you leave a broken body behind. Johnson's don't understand the terms "collateral damage" and "partial payment".
One word could be added to the status screen: hit, capture, steal, plant, etc.
On hits Mr. Fugitive (why are they all men anyway?) could be designated "Target"
