Well i suppose im asking what the best way to act as a juicer probably a euro juicer with like Bing go or something also if you have other ideas that will be good for a triax campaign plz post Thx again


Triax juicers are the same as normal juicers

Bing go and such are only for those that do not want to get the full treatment.

the Bio-comp system will get rid of Bing-go's effects as well as any other stuff.

except that the juicer treatment, while known, is not officially used in New Germany/Triax. Of course, for an indy adventurer, it's quite possible.

tough luck

That's tough man. If it's in the Triax then in terms of combat ur going to be either fighting Heavy weight hordes out of the Gargoyle empire or dealing with Puny humans in Power armor.
If I were you I would choose an O.C.C. that can take a beating and dish it back out. Like a Titan Juicer, or a Glitter Boy. A GB is a good choice because it allows you to maintain a more acceptable social demeanor which is necessary for roleplaying and still have incredible power in combat with the GB PA. You might also try asking your GM if u can choose a "super hero" character, chances are slim but that would work great in the Triax. If not then choose either a Heavy weight kind of Juicer (see juicer uprising) or a solid freelance PA pilot like a GB.

except I don't think either of those is known in the NGR

Delphi because the only person to use psi cyber in the region is the Angel of Death
Psycho stalker because psi stalkers are found only in North America, so far as I know.

according to cannon, yes, nither are available outside NA.

in game, it all depends on what you can talk your GM into.

if a character gave me a good history, background, and reason, almost any rule in the books can go out the window. . .

and besides, he could just be one that came to the NGR, or some cyber doc took the tech with him (hey, ya never know. . .)

PA

Okay man...after further thought, I think you should definitely go with being a PA pilot. However, you should keep your PA as highly mobile/agile as possible. If your the only or one of a few PA guys in your group then you'll probably be the first and easiest target for a big ol' Mech...you won't stand a chance in an average suit of PA. So either a light and fast PA or even a flying PA if possible, trust me it will keep you alive.

What Groth said...

However, despite the fact that the Juicer process originated in Europe, the NGR frowns on it, nor does Triax support (the technology).
