Rules / Vehicles
VehiclesVehicle CrashesThe target, or whatever the vehicle crashes into, must resist damage equal to The vehicle and any passengers must resist damage equal to Vehicles soak normally, with Vehicle ModificationsIf a modification does not alter the Speed, Handling, Acceleration, Pilot, Sensor, Body, or Armor rating of a vehicle, and the modification exists at multiple ratings, the rating of the modification may be upgraded for the difference in price between the new and old rating. Basic and Advanced ModificationsPlayers may make modifications according to the modification rules introduced in Rigger 5.0 (p151), but doing so is not required. Player who do not own Rigger 5, and do not use any modifications from that book, use the basic modification rules from the CRB instead. However, using any modifications from R5 on a vehicle mean that all modifications on that vehicle must conform to the modification rules in R5. Previous versions of the same modification, such as the smuggling compartments or spoof chips from Stolen Souls and the weapon mounts listed in CRB, are superseded by their R5 counterparts. When adjusting from CRB to R5 modification rules, the cost of any superseded modifications is fully refunded before the new modification from R5 is purchased at full cost. Standard UpgradesModifications that are listed as standard in the vehicle’s stat block (or on p.155, Rigger 5.0 for vehicles from SR5) do not use up any of the vehicle’s mod slots and are already factored into the attribute ratings of the vehicle. For example, a Toyota Gopher has standard Off-Road Suspension. The +1 to handling off-road and -1 to handling on-road are already reflected in its Handling score of 5/5. GridLinkThis and GridGuide are considered to be two facets of the same system, much like the Smartgun system and the Smartlink. Vehicles using the Rigger 5 rules (vehicles from that book or using modifications from that book) come standard with GridLink at no additional cost, even if it is not listed in their entry, unless they are a throwback, a Big Bob’s vehicle, or otherwise specifically lacking GridLink. Characters which have previously bought a GridLink system for a vehicle which has the system as standard equipment may refund the full purchase price of the modification. GridLink can be overridden with Gridlink Override, Manual Override, or Rigger Interface modifications. It is a good idea to have at least one of these modifications if the owning character wants to avoid any situation where the vehicle might be remotely controlled by the authorities – such as a car chase or rolling firefight. Ejection SeatsThis modification uses the following stats:
Electromagnetic ModificationsPilot EnhancementThe description of this modification incorrectly states that Pilot programs can have a rating of 1 to 9, this should be 1 to 6. Cosmetic ModificationsMetahuman AdjustmentThis modification, and the penalty to all non-human metatypes introduced in its description, are not used on Runnerhub. AmenitiesThis modification is required for a character to live in a vehicle, per the Lifestyle rules. Vehicle RepairsThe vehicle repair rules introduced in Rigger 5.0 (p.29) are not used on Runnerhub. Refer to the section on repairing gear instead. Advanced Driving RulesThe Advanced Driving Rules introduced in Rigger 5.0 (p.173 - 182) can be used on Runnerhub, but are considered to be optional due to their complexity. GMs that intend to use them are encouraged to note that fact in their job postings, and players who intend to use them should ask permission from the GM first. Vehicle ArmorVehicle (and drone) Armor is not hardened armor; however, the DV of an attack (before soak) must exceed the vehicle’s modified armor rating (after AP) to cause damage. For example, a weapon with a damage code of GroundcraftAres MinotaurThe Ares Minotaur has an availability of 14R. BMW LuxusThe BMW Luxus has an availability of 24F. Ford BroadcastThe built-in RCC cannot be upgraded. Official Emergency VehiclesThe official emergency vehicles with increased stats, listed on Stolen Souls p187, are not available for purchase by player characters. The following vehicles have the banned variant:
WatercraftCharacters who wish to own a watercraft must maintain a Low or better lifestyle to reflect the cost of maintaining and storing the craft. AircraftCharacters who wish to own an aircraft must maintain a Medium or better lifestyle to reflect the cost of maintaining and storing the craft.
