"With genetic modifications, beauty is no longer a goal or even a virtue, it is a moral obligation. Do we force the healthy to live with the contagious? Do we mix the criminal with the law abiding? Then why are the plain allowed to mingle with the fair?!" -J.S. Steinman, "Bioshock"

"When Picasso became bored of painting people, he started representing them as cubes and other abstract forms. The world called him a genius! I've spent my entire surgical career creating the same tired shapes, over and over again: the upturned nose, the cleft chin, the ample bosom. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could do with a knife what that old Spaniard did with a brush?" -J.S. Steinman, "Bioshock"

My thanks! I had similar concerns with going a little lighter on the ICE, but I'm hopeful, since triple Jackson should speed things along. Fortunately, Whizzard is not prevalent in my meta, so I haven't had that concern. I've been tweaking the ICE in each new rendition, but I think there are still a number of improvements to be made. My initial thought process here was to have a hard ETR of each type of ICE, then go from there with trashing and building to the ID. I agree that Tollbooth should probably have a place here, though. I haven't really had stellar returns from Targeted Marketing yet, though, so I think they may become a Tollbooth, and then I could include a third Batty. It could also be Ashigaru, but I'm not sure how safely I can stretch the economy. |
Favorited; one good turn deserves another! :)
This looks positively intriguing. Personally, I'm not sure that 14 ICE is perhaps enough to keep runners out when and where you need to, but I could be wrong. I'm seriously debating giving H.I. a run in my CP, as well. It seems like it should fit, unless it comes up against a Whizzard. I hate Whizzard so much. >:(
I'm gonna have to see, though, if using an ICE suite that's more for gear checking is better than what I'm currently using. I gotta be honest, it's gonna be hard to get rid of my Ashigaru and Tollbooth, heh. One of my toughest opponents in my local meta even admitted that if I had the opportunity to rez those ICE against him, he woulda found it awfully hard to break in and take anything.
