Without the Generator the floodlights will require battery power and will last for only 4 hours each. They each cost 1 Gear Pick if you take them outside of a bundle, by the way. Then again, 10 batteries costs 1 Gear Pick. I still have no idea what the hell an Evidence Kit does, as it doesn't seem to be in the book at all. Logbooks seem to be pretty standard notebooks, and I can find no mention of them under equipment. A Power Raiting 2 Laptop costs 2 GP's, and the Image Processing softare costs 2 more. The professional digital camera with the Rugged quality costs 4 GP, but it's 3 without Rugged (Which adds +2 Hardness and isn't necessary if you don't drop it) and a standard camera is only 1 GP. If you take the Translator Bundle you'll get:Waterproof shoulder bagLaptop (+3) with translator softwareLanguage manuals, any 4LogbookThe main things that the Archeologist bundle has over this is the Generator and Lights, and the Camera and the software. However, if you take the Investigation Duty Bundle you'll get a Video Camera and a Digital Camera, and your laptop from the Translator bundle can have the Image Processing software added for 2 Gear Picks. Plus, your laptop is more powerful, your bag is waterproof, and you don't take a kit that does nothing! the Investogation bundle can benefit you in searching the ruins, and it gives you the equipment you need to round out your selections.Investigator Duty bundleForensics case (to store the bundle)Science kits (any 3)4 Line taps (dead weight and should remain behind)Chemecal analyzerMicroscopeDigital camera, standardTape recorder w/ 4 commercial grade tapesPDA P.R. 1LogbookYou can get the NBC suit for 2 GP and the software for 2 more, leaving you with 2 Gear Picks, which you could spend on a floodlight and batteries for many hours of use, if you chose to. I think that'd be unnecessary, though, and you might want to spend those Gear Picks on upgrading your kits to give a +2 bonus to skill checks or making your equipment more Rugged or Dependable (+2 Gear Picks, and Dependable means the GM needs to spend 1 more Action Point to cause you to critically fail with that piece of equipment.)Just my thoughts.- Kemrain the Hopefully Helpful.</blockquote>
