Features You'd Like To See

[LordofSyn]

I could see a high end Mission where you don't have to just capture the Target.
you have to have your street doc knock them out and contact special one time Vehicle transit
you take the target to a Chop Shop,
they are summarily "lifted" of their Implant and or a "virus" is implanted
you take Target to drop off point.

Remember Illusion can fool even the eyes in the skies.
Yes I know it is a complex mission, but it sounds fun.
especially if your team Hacker has to be the one to 'implant' false files/propaganda /etc and viruses.

@los - there are a tier of missions incoming that start to fill these areas. There will be come variations on the Kill / Capture that involve secondary steps to complete the entire mission.

Thanks for another good example!

I agree that there has to be a market for stolen/repossessed implants but I would think before you can harvest them you would need specific contacts

There are bound to be chop shops around for black market stuff like this. And yes, special contacts are required. But nothing too much for enterprising CKs, right?

They basically breathe the noxious farts of the titanic metropolis they call NBZ while crawling in its rectum filled with slums and dangerous alleyways, for crying out loud.

(barring the chainsaw) an easy way to transport the body to a safe location for processing.

Vehicles were suggested to death (by me) but without it, a wheelbarrow would do nicely. I'm still down with chainsaws without either, though.

You have to face an enemy who has the benefit of the gear before it's even an option.

Welcome to 2217! The likelihood of meeting someone without bionics is close to zilch. Unless they are aliens (don't need them) or mutants (DNA causes body to reject implants).

Heck, even dogs have implants in this game. So, need I say more? ;D

and bingo was his name-o.

BTW, as indoors are coming up soon, may I suggest some features?

1) The Line-Of-Sight/Field-Of-Vision for sentries & patrols. Standalone drone sentries and human guards are still patrolling the passageways. One can still lie his way past human guards if caught with a wave of his hand and say "these are not the droids you are looking for" (read: Negotiation).

2) Stealth-Kill/Silent-Incapacitation ability. Contrary to the street battles where trouble comes looking for us and we go blazing guns like nobody's business, infiltration & trespassing calls for more finesse. Usually, if someone were to break in a high security building, they would face not just security cams and laser detectors. If we find ourselves with the opportunity to reduce the number of guards without no one knowing, we should be able to take it.

3) Silenced and Noisy weapons. Firearms with silencers or a well-placed grip of a guard's neck with your stun gloves set to Maximum Current should do nicely for dispatching guards who have strayed from their group. Of course, using a shotgun or a chainsaw would definitely alert them to your presence.

I would like to have the opportunity to lay hands on the "sniper almost geeks you" sniper. Let me put my stealth and perception skills to the test and ambush the punk. Then I can find out who sent him/her and touch them up too.

When I get my hands on that sniper their life is going to be short and their death long.

Oh yeah back to facing cybered enemies. Surely there are many people with implants and most of those are not for combat effectiveness but regardless is it just me not seeing it or are there no boosted, chipped, cybered enemies? Don't get me wrong I don't think every encounter is going to have security with half a million creds in implants and top of the line weapons, but occasionally you should run into a faithful lieutenant or captain who the company has "invested" in. And when I take those company men down I'm going to want to take those sweet weapons with me.

[Dice]

I would like to hear back room rumors of new technology that you can follow up on.

Something like "A chum of mine said they made a break thru in phase pulse stabilization over at mars corp research facility". Then I could hack their system looking for details / pay data, location, application and then go and take a look to try it on for size. Maybe I'll only get ten shots out of it but it's not the number of shots; it's the size if the gun. "Don't make me use this" and "Is that?! You're the one who?" "Yeah now stand aside."

Rare quest type stuff that you look back and say remember when we had to hack, sneak, fight, trick to accomplish this? It was close and Max didn't make it but I still have one round left in that monster just incase they come looking for it.

@dice - awesome feedback! Cybered enemies (more rare and dangerous than the normal enemy) are certainly on the list. A chance to face off with some captains of the enemy who will really be a test for your combat skills is also upcoming.

The ideas about rumors in the backroom leading to unique story-quests is great. We are continuing to try to push more content into CK, but also closing the functionality gaps that are in the BETA. Stick with us, and we will definitely get to this point.

as someone said...We believe

[Dice]

If vehicles are not allowed it would be nice to have an explanation: over crowding in the dome has imposed very strick limitations and licensing regulations; limited supply; emissions or power control; gremlins sabotaged them all with the exception of taxis due to an aversion to yellow; anything. I like the idea of over hearing back story filler in the bars.

Call back to earlier UI health boxes display problem: using LG Optimus V

[blackgauntlet]

Vehicles are allowed to all NBZ citizens. We are playing as CKs who aren't actual citizens. Also, since civilians are invisible, so would their vehicles.

[whitegauntlet]

Invisibility, the new skill?

[Slide87]

or more properly a high-camo suit,like the ninja suit of MGS

[Yakuza Ranks]

Oyabun (Kumicho)
Saiko Komon -- Like the mafia consigliere
So-honbucho -- head quarter's chief

Wakagashira - #2/assistant boss
Wakagashira-hosa (fuku-honbucho) assistant to above
Shateigashira - lesser assistant boss
Shateigashira-hosa (assistant to above)
Wakashu (junior leader)
Shatei
kobun

This is crude, and imprecise due to translations not precisely matching up. But...it is a reasonably accurate rank chart.

?) I need to be able to change my name. Maybe a 'cosmetic surgery' shop?
?) Being able to change the default icon/upload our own to use as our character portrait?
