A standard mission obstacle, in a way, just like any other non-expert amp user.
((-.- Not all of us are a problem.))

Well, you did kind of shred yourself with the sandbag. So I suppose you're a danger to yourself at least.

But the amp, it tempts! It is a tool of broad applicability, though never as broadly useful as you'd think, it seems.

@xan: I think what you mean is that you're as likely (or more) to hurt yourself as you are to hurt others.

Don't you have a +1? I think that qualifies you as expert. Unless by expert you mean +2 plus perfect decomp.

Related: I think there won't be any dynamic bonuses in the new system outside of those given by stims, so our amp users should probably put a few more points in EXO during the respec.

Speaking of characteristics.

Given one has robotic body, is it possible to change physical characteristics (strength, dexterity, endurance) via mechanical enhancement? Because that would make perfect sense.

Yes. There are things like exoskeletons, synthflesh, overdrive mode. So you could buy something that gives you a +1. But with the new system, I don't think you'll get +1s, you'll just increase some abstract strength stat.

Okay, yet another question. At the TVTropes page of ER, it is mentioned that brain uploading is a thing (expensive, complicated thing) as of present ER time, 49th century. But was it around when HRMC was formed and inmates were gathered from across the UWM?

Probably. Tech has not advanced very much.

Alright, busy busy busy.

I've just finished up the last mission so everyone is on board now. How this is gonna work is that I'm going to do one last full onship post and then release the info for the new system and the briefings for the next missions. At that point, I'll post a thread for handling all the changed character sheets so people can respec. I'll also ask everyone on the onship thread to shut up unless they're getting ready for the next mission. We want to get the missions started as quickly as we can and get everyone back having fun (and restart the heph thread).

I'll be on the IRC board in 12 hours to answer any questions or concerns. There's a link to it on the front page of the wiki.

12 hours? Good, a reason to go to sleep.

Right, of course Yancy will be on the next mission set(I'll actually have to buy my weapons this time, unless I can break into my previous char's locker and grab Simus's X3 gauss rifle since that got left behind due to b-ops mission)
