[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5061100, member: 12460"] Doesn't matter if GPS is boot-legged or not. It can still be used to track you down by those in the know. Boot-legged just means you stole it. The very nature of GPS systems requires that you deliver your location to either a triangulated radio tower system or satellite uplink (the latter is less common). Anyone with the right tools can look are your location and cross-reference that with all known GPS signatures in the area to pinpoint your unique GPS signature. From that point on, keeping tabs on you is a piece of cake. GPS, while incredibly useful, is a very effective means of letting someone spy on you. Now I haven't looked at Fastlane's character sheet closely. Maybe he's a technical genius and has some cutting edge technical skills. If that's the case, he would probably be able to create a GPS unit with an alternating signature, which means after someone lost sight of you, they could easily lose you if they didn't have very advanced software. Yes, Solaire is brilliant. Is that a problem for a blaster? Not in my opinion. I feel it complements the character type well. It's not like you have to be a techno-character to be smart. Beast is a bruiser, yet he's also a genius. And yes, his stats (including his powers) are the result of rolling. I feel it makes a much more organic character. Although if you are willing to let me boost his mental resistance I wouldn't mind. :) [/QUOTE]
