Can we actually talk about this? The police aggro is so aggressive. I remember hiding in a spot, after 3 mins the stars didn't disappear so I left it on for like an hour and nope, cops are still searching for me. Not to mention you can't even hide in your own home! They lock you out, at least have them bust into my apartment for a risk of being arrested. Let me take that gamble. (Sorry, just had to vent lol but it's a good thing they released mod resources)

[@SusCalvin]

Cops still have jurisdiction in free fire zones. The limit for opening fire is lower though. They could simply fly a gunship over the place and shoot everyone at the scene holding a firearm. The city cops and other companies might also have wavers that exclude service coverage in these areas. I don't know what Pacifica is like in 2077. Some central company property has extralegal status. It goes both ways though, the cops don't like to show up and support corporate security.

That coupon tho

[@fallbranch]

Let's do some quick calculations... Expected income from Mr Puggins vs the price of a coupon... I think we're about to have some collateral damage.

[@KoishiVibin]

Remember that if the ADUs fail to engage the target, and the police are not yet here, consider using, if the store policy permits it, heavy weaponry, such as an antitank missile launcher, certain brands of personal firearm, or a grenade launcher. Please ensure that collateral damage is kept to a minimum, in order to reduce any fines caused by said damage. Remember that not all stores permit use of explosives, or armour piercing weapons. make sure to check! An additional warning. Psychos can be equipped with a myriad of different armor levels. Fire at your own risk!

That reminded me of a mission that Muamar gives you (in Phantom Liberty so spoilers if you haven't played it yet) You unlock this mission, Baby Let Me Take You, by doing 10 vehicle contracts. He explains that him and his friend, Daniels (who happens to be a cop) were both born and raised in Santo Domingo. And when they were growing up, and even during the events of the game, Arasaka had been polluting the water around Santo Domingo (probably from some kind of factory or Arasaka just being evil for the sake of being evil) so clean water was just not a thing anyone had access to. And people just kept dying from pollutants and diseases in the water (and obviously no one wants to fix that. Politicians as usual) So he enlists your help in going to steal this Arasaka truck full of medicine so he can use that medicine to start helping all those sick kids. It's a great mission, honestly. Not only a fun mission in its own right but you get a really sick car from it too

The best and worst part of this is that the crazy power that the NCPD holds makes complete sense In particular, needing to stay silent, avoid eye contanct, keep hands behind head etc. In a pull-over situation, makes perfect sense, the NCPD officer has no idea if youre a Netrunner outfitted with quickhacks, hence no eyecintact, lay on the ground so that cyberware like Berserk or Sandevistan could be momentarily deactivated by the officer (assuming there is an in-universe way to deactivate it), plus it puts the officer in the place of power, no surprise attacks, then not speaking to the NCPD officer makes sense because of the Maelstrom group itself, having mechanical vocal chords, they could be outfitted with a vocal set that can produce genuinely harmful sound, disorienting the officer, letting you escape, etc. It all has good reasoning in-universe

The autoturret distinguishes between fast moving target and slow/immobile object. They're discouraging people from fleeing in a panic because its visuals might not be able to scan them fast enough to recognize that they're nonhostile, and they're designed to shoot fast-moving targets.

The NCPD would like to note that the SmarTek Model 8552 Washing Machine was a repurposed riot cannon. An unknown netrunner managed to take control of several dozen M8552s and significantly harm, or in some cases drown, residents with the spray. beyond that, some brands of appliance can be made to explosively overload, albeit the detonation is... well, fairly pathetic. Still, check the product histories, and consult the ratings of any product. At this time, Arisaka would like to promote its Oldworld Comforts selection of unnetted items, which have no net systems. This of course, does mean you might not have the convenience of a netted home, but there seems to be a remarkable lack of explosive home devices in their history.

Yyyep. Exactly. In the RPG books it's laid out in detail exactly how strapped the crew will be that comes based on what policy you hold.

Every TT operator is given an enormous background check, psych eval and a lot of effort goes into keeping them loyal and laser focused on only serving the policy holders.

Corporations have private security that function like the police. Insurance policies are life lines and very close to a near necessity but not everyone can afford it. You're allowed to open carry but only cause the city can't protect you. Rewards like coupons are equivalent to your life. They made it into an animated cartoon to reach YOUNG audiences. Just goes to show how natural death is, when you're in the city. Murder and death is daily occurrence that they've called serial killers or extremely dangerous individuals, Cyberpsychos, further inferring that Cyberpsychosis is 'natural' occurrence.
