/srg/ Shadowrun General- Throwback Edition

The only one I saw with a seat number in () was the Krime Wing. And that one has the explanation on the page.

It seats ten trolls, or twenty smaller metahumans. If mixed, trolls count as two seats against the normal max of 20).

He was given citizenship in 56 and elected in 57, wasn't he?

A bunch of them have weird things. For example, the Phaeton has 2/8 seats (which might mean 2 up front and 8 in the back), the Armadillo has 2/4, the Hauler 4/4, etc.

Meanwhile, pic related on pg 65-66 has 3(10), and I've no idea what that means. The Krime Wing has troll-to-other seats at a 2-to-1 ratio, so this doesn't fit with that.

Is there ever a time when you'd rather use a called shot than just deal damage? Taking the previous whip loli as an example, let's say she's doing 13P with the whip at -8AP and hits the accuracy of 7, we're looking at 20 points of physical damage. The max DV of called shots seem to be 10, so you'd effectively drop half the damage of your attack to do a fancy called shot.

Of course you'r attempt a called shot if you wanted to subdue instead of killing outright, but if killing you're after, I'm not sure it makes sense to go for a called shot when you can kill someone in one hit through flat damage otherwise.

Thoughts?

Shit, wrong image.

So, /srg/ I gots a question. Or, rather, a gross incompetence that I'm hoping you can clear up. I'm running a decker for the first time, and horrific layout of of the Matrix rules section aside, I think I have handle on most of the basics

But I'm getting perplexed about how to handle files stored on other devices. Files stored on Commlinks are kind of the default case here. Only devices can be part of a PAN(or I have misunderstood and files are always part of a PAN and only devices count against the limit of a PAN), so are files just kind of floating around the PAN in a weird halo?

Likewise only personas and devices can run silent, so if a commlink full of files is running silent, is it given away in matrix-o-vision by the cloud of file icons following it around?

Does a decker need to have marks on a commlink to see what files are on it? If he has enough marks on the commlink, does he need to mark the files?

tl;dr - I think I get how devices, personas files and similar work in isolation(or in a host) but how, for example, files behave when stored on an actively used device is throwing me for a loop.

In the case of the Minnesota, I think it's supposed to refer to the customization that the text talks about.

IE, if you put in the cabin with sleeper, it only 'seats' two (but in some kind of comfort) but if you leave it empty/as cargo then you can carry ten more people.

For the Phaeton, driver/pasanger makes a good split, but yeah. That should be more explicit. Somewhat the same for the Armadillo, but that one's section talks about how it has cabins for just about everything.

So the four would be either additional if you used the back as seating or total (again, should be explicit. I've seen six in the back of a truck before.)

The Hauler, it seems, is supposed to have room for four, and the back has setup to carry another four.

But as for the Vodyanoy my only guess is that since it's already downgraded to Squatter, 3 is what you'd get if you took amenities back up and ten is what you have at squatter.
