First for glorious YJ thighs

Drakios, Teucer and Atalanta are unplayably bad aren't they?

I love the models but nobody ever seems to use them...

>>46071974
I've proxied Atalanta once (in vanilla) and she's just too squishy to justify the investment. With no defensive skills or nwi and only ARM 2 with 1 wound, she just rolls over to everything.

Teucer at least has nwi, so he might be better? Idk

And then there's always the competition to be considered - phoenix just looks so much better, considering link team boni
There is msv to consider, of course - butaren't agema just better for that? They sure are cheaper. And vanilla has other sources of msv anyways

>>46071974
Drakios is actually a really good rambo unit. In my first using him, he march up the left flank and killed everything in his path before get killed in the enemy deployment zone. I dont use him often though, because I really like to take Penny or Scylla. So fitting his fat ass in the list get's tricky

Never use the Teuce

You get what you pay for in Atalanta which is a powerful glasscannon. She can be a monster in the active turn, but she's a poor fragile expensive ARO piece. Rumor is she's going to see more play time in HSN3.

>>46072854
>Never use the Teuce
Sorry I meant that as "I've haven't used him yet"

>>46072854
>>46072144
I can see Drakios having uses, 3 HFTs for 37 points is great value.

>>46071974
>>46072854
The trick using Teucer and Atalanta is to focus using them in active turn. Well, I've personally yet to use Teucer successfully, but Atalanta has brought her points back. All in all, they're a bit challenging to use, so most people don't bother to learn. No experience with Drakios.

>>46068717

Well, they're one of the first armies and had rather nice flair to them. Shaolin Monks and ninjas are eye catching. Overall, I think people get tempted by "close combat" stats, and they generally are one of the first armies one starts with because their starters weren't so bad back in say 2010 or so. Their selling point now is the HI which are far from mediocre. In aesthetics they're definitely benefiting from the CAD, and the past six months had near back to back releases. Even their old HI still stand out in looks. In gameplay, as others said, there are few gaps in their roles they're able to field, and they have one of the most, if not the most, popular sectorials with JSA which favors aggressive and mobile fighting styles which can tempt quite a few.

>>46073025
Absolutely. The opponent can shoot or dodge, and take 2-3 HFTs depending on if Drakios uses his combi to contest the ARO dice.

>>46073052
Definitely agree with you, Atalanta isn't a stationary/ARO sniper. She needs some practice to use. Again, I haven't tried Teuce, but I will it's a safe assumption that he's the same, but a little more survivable thanks to NWI.

Sounds like bad news all around

>>46073754
Shouldn't be an issue to be honest. Close the door, open a window when you're done, let it ventilate out before you open the door. I see your concern, but as long as you're using acrylics and ventilate the area well, it'll be fine.

I've always primed my models using an actual brush. Should I start using an airbrush? I mean, it's faster but it's also pretty fucking expensive

>>46074320
I used to do the same, but zenithal airbrushing is just so neat and fast way.

>>46074320
You can, if you have the money. Conversely, if you want the smoothness of an airbrush but don't want to pay up front for an airbrush (and don't mind a little less control), a cheap can of spray paint from your local hardware store is fine for priming solid colors (if you follow good spray etiquette: i.e. passing the spray through the model so that it layers on real thin).

Stupid fluff question, do Aleph soldiers outside of the reconstructions have names and identities? Do they live normal lives when off duty?

Are they all the same in terms of "humanity"/personality?

Contrary to the popular belief, most character in ASS are not recreations, but regular aspects that just assumed the roles. ALEPH aspects go trough artificial growth period in virtual environment and are then screened, whether they are sane enough to use. ASS aspects go trough more randomized process to get more emotional end product, while SSS aspects are made to be as efficient as possible. After screening the aspect gets basicly the same rights as human would. Post Humans are actual humans that ALEPH deemed worth the honor.

>>46074368
If that's what you have, it should be fine. There is a lot of useful tools in there, try to explore each one. If you have the support pack, consider switching the LS jag to a chain rifle and the Paramedic to a daktari, and possibly grabbing a zondbot for her.

Anyways remember the game starts not at turn one, but deployment. That's pronbably one of the steepest curves in the game, and that is hard to learn till you get table time. Deploying badly can lead to a turn one wipe. You also have an obvious LT, so plan accordingly. You've got lots of base defence in between the Jags, Lunokhod, and flash pulse. Try not to place the Koalas so close together a single suicide model can clear it. Your repeater coverage is also decent.

Anyways good hunting.

>>46074642
Isn't the LT always really obvious? Every game I've seen its pretty obvious who the other person is running.

Aleph has many characters but only 3 of them are recreations (Achilles, Penny, and Patroclus). I'm not sure about Hector.

I believe most earn their names. For example: Glaboros DG-056 got his name for his height, strength and ferocity in battle, so all the other myrmidons called him Ajax the Great.

And yes, the Steel Phalanx member have time off, but I'm not sure if they're allowed into the public since O12 has some restriction over them. But they're as close to human as you can get. IIRC Drakios loves to drink and loves women. Thrasymedes digs a Nomad, Lupe. Penny can outdrink anybody. Nesaie is an oddball because she's got a split personality. Etc etc etc

Anyone take a look at the new RPG releases? Lengthy fluff on Acontecimento and Svalarheima, as well as the rules for converting RPG characters into tabletop units.

Looks like a lot of new fluff on the planets. Conversion rules are cool, but the stat conversions seem a bit suspect

G'day!

So I recently bought the strange starter set. Operation Icestorm.

Are the figures provided any good?

>>46075397

Any chance of a share?

>>46075431
Same models that come in the regular PanO and Nomad startera

>>46075431
Sure. Some of them have better alternatives for their respective factions, but there's nothing inherently wrong with any of them. If there was, they wouldn't be in the starter.

>>46075538
I'm familiar with GW. Their old starter boxes weren't necessarily usefull for starting efficient armies.

>>46074845
Eff off /r9k/

>>46075397
>Svalarheima
>population: 400 million

I always pictured it was an icy hellhole with some mining stations and whatnot, but that's a pretty sizable population that is barely habitable.

>>46075397
>>46075449
I'd personally like to learn more about Svalarheima given my plans for a White Banner army.

>>46075431
Yeah. Great even. Icestorm's my favorite starter set from all the games I've played. It's just, don't expect any model to be absolutely perfect, they're just solid options that a few people tend to look past when they build their army's from there. I know a nomad player or two who take the Grenzr for example, which is a fine unit, to proxy as an intruder, which is a powerful unit that synergizes well with smoke. It's not that the Grenzer's bad, just that others are better. So the same applies to the Father knight, or the Orc Troop, that I've seen to be filling in for a swiss guard or the like. They're just "too vanilla" for some people's taste, but one still gotta have them. Fusiliers and Alguaciles are the much needed cheerleaders for other guys, Spektre takes a good spot for camo infiltrating shenanigans with mines to boot, Nisses are snipers, and all the other figures are decent to good. I can't say any one is bad. In the icestorm missions themselves PanO's got a slight advantage for having better BS on their basic guys but that's where it ends.

>>46076014
400 million seems rather small for a human population in a habitable planet. A rather small chunk of the billions we have on the earth right now. I'd imagine with long life spans, cubes, and active colonizing efforts spanning nearly a century with competing hyperpowers trying to establish a bigger base that the populations would be rather large, even if it's frozen hellscape. I wouldn't want to impose a number because they're the ones writing it, but three digit millions seems appropriate to me.

>>46075397
I don't play the wargame so I haven't even looked at the conversion rules, but I like what I'm seeing in the planet documents. Nice to see this vaguely-defined setting start to come into focus.

>pretty sizable population that is barely habitable.
Not really. It's a fairly reasonable number (and refreshingly different from usual sci-fi authors who consistently underpopulate their worlds).

Remember, our planet is mostly water by surface area (and the overwhelming portion by habitable volume).

A typical diversified diet can be supported in a roughly 0.5 hectare per person ratio by modern agricultural techniques (according to the FAO); add in acreage for other communal assets and assume 1 hectare per person, and you arrive at a carrying capacity for our planet can be estimated to be around 10 to 40 billion people. Remember, this is just with modern techniques and current land utilization. With even near-future scientific advances, it could be much, much higher.

Modern cities can already readily fit in excess of 70,000 residents per square mile, and if a lot of the produce and waste treatment is automated and off-site, it wouldn't take much to reach into the mid-hundred-millions population.

Fuck yes! In addition to the standard orbital elevators, PanO at least uses 50km long railguns to shoot cargo into space. I always love that method of putting things in space.

>>46075397
Unity Station: The largest astroport above the planet, the woefully named Unity
Station is a bi-spherical station generating gravity through counter-rotation. The
clockwise spinning hemisphere is controlled by Yu Jing and the counterclockwise
hemisphere is controlled by PanOceania. The station is a very cold
place both environmentally and from a design aspect, as the original architects
and engineers refused to work with their rivals. As a result, the station has no
unified set of design schematics and engineers from both sides are routinely
forced to fix a station that always seems one micro-fracture away from
exploding.

Meanwhile a space anarchy somehow finds the collectivist spirit to work as a whole and build sturdy ships and space stations out of everyone else's secondhand used junk and gritty determination, with enough trained hands to hire out to anyone else that might need a space specialist.

Trolls and werewolves are canon.

>>46077410

For the mobile ships, sure. But nobody wants to see an entire space station majestically dipping in and out of a stars corona, and grabbing nearby corvettes and dragging them to it's secret mid-nebula shipyard grotto, extruding umbilicals, and spraying renovation nanites around liberally.

>>46077496

>The important thing is, cyborg Witchers are increasingly feasible.

Feasible? I'd also say they're demanded at this point, practically mandatory. Team would have to set themselves up as heavy fighters, though. Pure Hacker's not going to find much to hack in an icy wasteland and trolls don't sound like they give much in the way of systems to hack.

How's the art in the rpg books? I haven't been very impressed with what I've seen until now; fits the bill, but no memorable piece.

>>46072854
Nice Chaussure.

>>46075679
Well, the only "not good" model in there is ORC troop, and that's because PanOceania has a ton of interesting HI while he's pretty basic. He's still a cheap and durable BS14 HMG platform though that doesn't go Impetuous like the Hospitaller. And you could always do what everyone else does with him and proxy Swiss Guard with him. But in small points he's pretty good.
Also Father-Knight is one of the better PanO units.

>>46077620

Well, they carry two blades, after all. One of them will be used often in urban areas. Plus hunting drones, and most likely reprogramable nanite brews/sprays. And in the Human Sphere, there's always satilites and local military networks to take advantage of. Crashing a local observation drone or appropriating some time on a kill sat or local garrison's firesupport drone isn't a bad purpose for Igni.rb

And it's assuming baseline physiology. Because let me tell you, pretty goddamn high on the list of 'things Praxis needs to sort out yesterday' is space adapted metabolisms. If nothing else, to stop people's hearts and bones from atrophying in space. Best case scenario, to save space and weight, most space workers have incredibly efficient metabolisms and sharply reduced nutrient intake requirements. Water efficient, if nothing else.

>>46077211

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this description. It sounds like a sphere split down the middle with the two halves rotating in opposite directions. If that's correct, then...

A) What are the 'clockwise' and 'counterclockwise' descriptions from the perspective of?

B) How does that generate usable gravity anywhere except near the equatorial line?

I'd imagine it's similar to the space station from 2001 a space oddyssey, that is, using centrifugal force to produce "gravity" and that it probably isn't completely spherical, more something similar to the citadel from Mass Effect 3.

as for A), from PanO's perspective of course.

>>46077545
>I'm just scared my model ends up with a coat of disgustingly thick paint on it.
probably fittingly /m/ and /toy/ use a lot more sprays and airbrushes than hand painting (because space-based hanger-queen military models are the most likely to have spotless, clean paint jobs) so you may want lurk around the gunpla and military model threads there. Or, you know, watch youtube.

In general though, spray painting's really easy:
starting with the can about half a foot to a foot away from the model, start spraying *AWAY* from the model, pass the spray of paint through the model at a fairly quick rate, then release the trigger. That way the paint settles on thinly and smoothly. To do the same with hand painting takes quite a bit of effort, and it's so much easier with cans or airbrushes.

I'll admit, with drone tech and a satellite network, a Hacker could make for an effective tracker in a pinch, of course the occasional introductory element like cloudy conditions and storms disrupting the sensors and observation networks could help keep them from absolute omniscience.

Could be a previous hunter had some computerized wetware implants in them, and the Hacker is actively tracking the beast by tracking the implants now in its stomach. Of course, that adds some serious limitations like range outside of ideal conditions, but adds for a good element of suspense as your wrist-mounted display suddenly gets a ping thirty yards behind you in a blizzard, only to intermittently lose track until it pings again twenty yards off to your right.

Isn't awful, but he isn't Scylla either, the flamer on him is of limited value because you don't really want to throw 3 flame templates at your target, you want to threaten them with 2 and then something their dodge will have to face to face against, Scylla's boarding shotgun is great for this.

Basically, he ain't bad, but his NWI just aint worth giving up what Scylla could bring instead (and even Scylla is a not heaps common piece)

>Teucer
Kicks ass, I dunno why I don't see him more often. Probably the aversion comes from the fact that you have limited long range options in Steel Phalanx so people prefer to take a Missile Agema or Sniper Agema over him to bring that as well as MSV2, but he's really solid as a second Agema. The main thing he brings over other options is that thanks to NWI he can afford slightly better to be used as a Reactive piece and limit your opponents ability to MSV2+smoke you, because MSV2+smoke wrecks myrmidon links.

>Atlanta
She's a lot of points to invest in a fragile model, but she definitely has her uses, there are some high BS HMG options out there with MSV that can really make your life hard as Steel Phalanx and sometimes Atlanta is the best solution by combining her crazy high BS with the ability of a sniper to outrange almost anything.

They aren't brokenly bad units, you can have them in your list and win, heck I won a game last weekend where someone else made my list for me and it included both Drakios and Teucer, and frankly I wish I had Atlanta to deal with a Aquila Guard HMG. They are just not core answers to many problems in the same way something like an Agema Missile or Scylla can be.

>Atalanta

She's not good at living, but she IS good at having an effective 20 BS in the active turn (14 + 3 Spotbot + 3 favorable range band). If she had an ODD or even Mimetism she'd be astounding but as it is she's stuck trying to get LoS to enemies from outside their effective range band to gun them down, and active-turn gunner is a role she competes with a lot of more expensive, yes, but wildly more durable pieces for.

I wont be able to fit it all in one image, so I'll start with my Ariadna collection. I dont play, but I plan on playing USARF when more stuff drops. Not finished/pictured are Spetnaz BSG, the other Traktor Mul, and Desperados.

Also nice paint job. Just try to thin your painted more. Awesome to see fully painted armies.

Assuming basic WYSIWYG loadouts, ~7400 points, mostly CA and Yu Jing with some Nomads and Haqq. Pic related is stack of pizza-type boxes I keep my painting queue in. Most are ~40 minis per box.

It's about half of my Infinity painting queue.

Not counting ~2 tables' worth of Infinity terrain.

Nor Malifaux.

Nor another table of Malifaux terrain.

Nor boardgames (I'm fond of dungeon crawlers with tons of minis).

Hey guys, I've been basing minis for Warhammer, Mordheim and LOTR for my entire life, and now I don't really know how to base Infinity figures.

Will sand and grass look very bad? I mean, I see a lot of bases with urban terrain and textures and I think they look really cool, but I just got the standard bases and I'm not really good at sculpting or anything.

Any advice on how to make simple and cool looking bases?

Vallejo, or any other kind you like.

They're metal so you can simple green the paint off if you fail miserably and just do it again. Pretty shit painter, myself, but slapping on three or four colors and then washing the whole thing with black looks decent enough.

This. Most primers should work. Go white if the models will have lots of light colors, dark if they have lots of darker colors, or gray if you don't care. I think.

Thanks a lot guys. Honestly I would've started playing this along time ago if the models just came painted, these companies alienate a lot of people who would play the game by only selling un-made models.

>>46085811
If you do get a spray primer, spray it off to one side before use to see how it works, and then only spray the model from at least like 10" away so it mists right.

Painting really isn't that bad. Used to be terrified of it but washes are the best thing.

Lastly my Steel Phalanx at 1026/16. Havent painted the thorakitai LRL, and a Myrmidon with Combi. Also I'm waiting for Hector. I dont feel like getting out the rest of ALEPH since I mostly play SP.

These guys are my army in the Flamestrike Campaign.

>>46085739
Primer prepares the surface for paint. Otherwise the paint will not adhere properly and clip off. I assume you dont have an airbrush, so any spray can primer will do. Just use short controlled bursts in a swaying motion(back and forth) about 8 inches away.

>>46085938
Awesome models and great paintjobs. Keep it up man.

>>46085811
Make sure you have the tools to clean and assemble them as well : hobby knife and a set of needle files. The knife can take care of flash (thin pieces of material along mold lines) and minor mold lines. You'll need the files (a cheap set will do) to take care of other lines and the vents (pole shaped pieces where the molten metal travelled through). A good side cutter helps.

As for glue, I recommend Insta-cure + by BSI Inc. It cures relatively fast which is a godsend for bits as fiddly as Infinity. Often sold under a different name by the LGS.

As a heads up, there is some lead in there so make sure you wash your hands and clean up your work area when done.

Most of the newer CAD made stuff go together relatively painlessly. Some kinda fiddly bits like Pan O's bunny ears and the Brigada antenna. Just make sure you aren't cutting pieces with your knife that you shouldn't be.

The older models can get a bit dicier. Any in particular you are eyeballing?

It's a hobby, just comes with the territory.

>>46087079
Oh yeah, don't forget to wash your new models with warm soapy water. A toothbrush helps. The molds are coated with a releasing agent which interfere with glue and paint.

>>46085492
can you post a closeup of those Janissaries?

>>46085524
The zondcat looks great in Cordelia colours. Her remote I'm assuming?

>>46087079
I really appreciate it man. I'm mostly interested in CA and Tohaa.

I can understand that people get into this for the modeling, that's great. But that's not what I enjoy. I want to play the game, winning, losing, testing out lists. That's what excites me, not the gluing and painting. To me it just seems like unnecessary work before getting to play.

Thank you! I've just started infinity with QK but wasn't sold on the green Janissaries or the green Azra'il. Absolutely loved the sculpts though. I'll probably go a little lighter sand colour but those are a great inspiration.
The HMG arms look great on the missile launcher body. I'm a bit put out that the starter Jan and the HMG jan are noticeably smaller than the others but that seems like a pretty simple correction. I'll just have to figure out how to source a single body from somewhere.

When I started the first few ghulams turned out darked than I had originally intended. I was going for the lighter sand color too, which I think would look awesome on Haqqislam

But I liked the dark and ruggedness of burnt umber color so much that I stuck too it.

>Jannisaries
Yeah, I was pretty annoyed by the size of the HMG model especially considering it was still pretty new. I snagged an extra body from cho's box split. Hopefully the starter box gets resculpted with a new AP Rifle model.

Whenever I shot with a plasma weapon I understand I have to place the teardrop template touching my objective on it's thinnest point?

How do I decide where the teardrop points at?

>>46090930
As pg. 38 of rules states:

>Place the narrow end of the Teardrop Template (Blast Focus) contacting the edge of the main target’s base, following the Line of Fire (see diagram).

I recommend reading the page, because the images do most of the explaining.

>>46090930
I recommend you read the pages about impact template weapons in the rulebook or the wiki.
They have several illustrations to clarify things.

Also note that only one of the two firing modes on a plasma weapon provides an impact template; the other mode gives higher damage.

>>46090930
Use the path the shot would take as a reference. Point the template directly away from the shooter.

Infinity is intentionally grey. Every faction serves it's own interests, though Nomads, Haqqislam, and Ariadna are arguably a smidge more 'good' than PanO, YuJing, ALEPH, or Artichokes.

>>46096969

I'd call them more 'Chaotic' than 'Good'. Nomads and Ariadna both have a strong focus on personal freedoms and Haqq supports the same with them but it doesn't make them good. One look at the Hassassins or a good chunk of the nomad list makes that obvious.

By the same token, PanO and ALEPH are a lot more controlled but have a lot of good aspects. Yu Jing...Yu Jing is harder to justify.

>>46097096

I love ALEPH but ALEPH is not a good guy. At least, on the small scale.

Let's say there is a hypothetical person talking about wanting to try making peace with the Combined Army. That they believe that through mutual understanding they could come to an agreement with the Morat. This person is a good, honestly well intentioned and moral person and they are starting to get public support.

They are, however, hurting the odds of humanity surviving this situation as ALEPH has judged that to be more harm than good. ALEPH is perfectly ok with having a Naga kill you in an alleyway and make it look like a mugging gone wrong.

Or to sabotage attempts to foster better Chinese/Japanese relations if the numbers say that the current situation keeps them sharp and the perception of Japanese as second class citizens makes Yu Jing provide more Japanese meat for the war with the Combined Army.

Purely hypothetical but the sort of thing that ALEPH is willing to do in order to keep humanity alive.

>Yu Jing is harder to justify.
YJ is very much a collectivist society where criminals are made into examples.

This does indeed mean that you hear there are some fairly nasty things happening, but they generally happen to those who deserve it.
Overall, YJ offers an excellent society to live in, as long as you don't try to subvert that very society.

One thing to also keep in mind is that most factions keep the existence of some of their nastier groups (like what the Hexaedron gets up to) under wraps, while YJ is generally more open with the nasty stuff that might happen to you if you go against the authorities.

>>46097610

Far better to have every single Ariadna list have a minimum of two werewolves.

>>46099109

Tell that to >>46098727

Why not just two Americans? Give the rest of the Human Sphere and the Xenos some freedom.

>>46099224
AVA 1 in vanilla. Can't contain the freedom.

So I'm thinking of making some basic terrain for TT sim, and the Icestorm terrain is pretty much perfect, unfortunately I don't have a good scanner to grab the textures from it, any chance someone here could have the equipment to do that?

>>46097109
I want the whole pic. Or better yet, the whole series.

>>46098173
I was basing it on spess mehreens

You can always try bothering the man for more.

>>46098727

I still use Loup Garou... though I have to admit that Moblots and Briscards are infinitely more useful due to having a fair amount of killing power while also being able to score objectives if you grab the specialist options.

For MRRF, mind you.

>ALEPH doesn't strike the evil chord with me at all
That's the point. It sure as hell wouldn't let us know if it was evil. It's less blatantly dickish and more just very untrustworthy.

>>46097245
that entire post is why ALEPH is the best guy. it's willing to become a monster so the rest of us don't have to, there's nothing it won't do to keep humanity going

>>46103255
Do the Nomads realize their own naivete? Or is it lost on them?

Was the guy who orginally asked. Thank you all for responding. I get motivated seeing others.

Anyways, guess what rather rare mini I practically stolen for $16.

>>46103574
I'll give you 17 dollars for it.

>>46103662
Haha, funny. Are we talking American dollars here?

>>46103574
Lucky bugger. I'm still trying to shift my ltd ed Joan; I've had it listed on a few for sale sites at the going rate for ages but it just doesn't seem to want to sell. Trying to avoid putting it on ebay for obvious reasons.

>>46103574
I have 2 of those. I wish I could take them with my ariadna

>>46104127
What's the going rate?

>>46101702
That's... not what I expected. Thanks anyway

>>46105241
Not that anon, but should be about $35-$40 shipped

>>46105241
>>46105895
I'm a britfag, so they're usually £15 here.

Being in the Steel Phalanx is just one big Jojo adventure, isn't it?

>>46110477
Yes, except you're very likely to get shot to death by a Morat, get eaten by a Shasvastii, get sepsitorized by an Avatar or get forced to buy your own action figures for inflated prices by an Exrah.

Stay mad, monkey.

Also let's remember that this example is irrelevant, since the japanese are literally subuhman.

Ironically, most of those low-caste peasants have a better chance of actual social advancement under the State then under their own high-caste samurai-wannabes who treats them worse then shit.

And its a perverse joke how the neo-nazi terrorist groups that actively murders them 'for collaborating' with the State have been whitewashed to be sympathetic 'good guys' in the fluff.

I want to confirm two things:

1. If a hacker is Isolated or his HD stops working for any other reason, he does not actually stop being a specialist, right? Usually there's no clarification that a Hacker must use his Hacking Device to complete objectives aside from Telemetry classified objective.

2. Similarly, if a hacking device or a medikit or similar piece of equipment is looted by say, a Bandit, it does not make him a specialist? He can hack, but he cannot fulfill objectives as if he was a specialist unless it's an FO or Hacker profile from the get go?

Asking because I predict a lot of games featuring Bandits and Ghazi in my near future.

>>46103255

Oh yes. I did say I like them for a reason. ALEPH has humanities best interests at heart. It's just utterly ruthless and soulless when it comes to doing what it thinks needs doing.

>>46111740
1: Yep, hackers stay specialists even when they can't hack, since they still have the equipment in their possession.

2: A scavenger who picks up a HD or medikit becomes a specialist. The paramedic and hacker skills are just superfluous crap, they're defined entirely by their equipment. Otherwise someone could argue that scavengers with HDs couldn't be targeted by hacking programs that only affect hackers.
