This is the future i envisage...
Mr. Smith (sorry bout the name I'm not too inventive) walks into Viarossa 1. He has just aqcuired a cheque reading 350,000 NC only after iding a bulk rare job. Feeling pleased with himself he cashes the cheque in at the desk and the money is placed into his bank account. Suddenly the door blows open and a bunch of Twilight Guardian march into the bank. He counts 3 monks and 3 tanks, 2 ppus monks and a spy. They immediately start to massacre the helpless people, even the tellers and guards. Mr Smith dives behind the desk next to the dead body of the teller, and quivers in his hiding place. He sees the monks escorting the spy towards a giant terminal. He pulls out a hacktool and jacks into the system. Suddenly a shadow looms over Smith. A tank stand over him, in full armour and lets loose 10 bolts of X-Heated Plasma into the poor spys brain. As death began to claim him, he felt a familiar (cuz hes a spy) jolt as he is sucked back into the real world. As he is thrown out the genrep, he stumbles around a bit but then regains his senses and checks his wallet. That bloody tank stole some of his money! At least he only had a few bob on hand, the rest being in his account. He recovers his inventory, and find out what item he lost in his quickbelt. Damn! They got his new 2 slot Enhanced Plasma rifle. Too tired to search for another constructorm, Smith exits his Plaza apartment and hands his credit card to the HEW shop assistant and asks for a EPR. The shop assitant realises he is a tangent, and so he is charged no intrest for buying one of his factions items. Smith turns to face the TV...... "Twightlight Guardian struck again, as 3 million credits was hacked from the Viarossa bank. STORM bots failed to capture the hacker, but no official word has been given yet..."
So there you have it. Lets break it down into an easier format
A) When a runner is killed 10 percent of their money is given to the killer, or shared around if there is more than 1. Note - this does not happen in warzones (OP wars)
B) A runner can store his/her money in the Neocron bank, and withdraw it. This can only be done at the bank, not from city-coms
C) Cheque books can be bought from the factions Human Resource Directors, and written out with the persons account code.
D) A credit card is given to all runners. The runner can either use CoH (cash on hand) to pay for items, like now, or use their credit card. Credit cards come with intrest, but that differs depending on both the faction of the runner and the item they are buying. For example, a Crahn gets no intrest on vehicles (and can sell for more if using their credit card.) They get 5% intrest when buying an allied factions products like a fusion rifle from TG. They get 10% on neutral factions items, like tangent weapons and finally 15% on enemy factions items, like FA freezers. (Note, credit cards cannot be lost in belts)
E) A terminal is placed in the Neocron bank. This requires around 150 to 200 hack, and if the hack is failed the electric shock kills the hacker outright. Several STORM bots guard this terminal, and as soon as any one person tries to hack it there soullight is reduced and the bots open fire. It makes sense, thefore to kill the STORM bots beforehand, allthough this will be no easy feat as there will be copbots patrolling and they too will come a-runnin' as soon as the hack starts. The good side to hacking the bank is that it will place a random number of credits from 500k to 10 million in the hackers bank account, depending on the hackers hack skill. (Note this will not be deducted from others bank accounts, its like a slush fund you hack like in swordfish :D )
And thats it. If i remember anything else which ive forgotten ill post it. Comments, improvements and criticism are all welcome, please post.
