Simulspace Implant
I'm interested in a implantable Simulspace server. Basically, something like you see in " A boy and his tank" by Leo Frankowski ( http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1434244.A_Boy_And_His_Tank ). In the book, the VR world he retreats to is small... a home, a gym, a school... so it doesn't have to be this huge world. And also like it to have the ability to VPN with others with the same implant. So a team could 'train' or attend classes together. I'd love some ideas on CP or credits cost, specs, etc. Thanks! William

It isn't really mentioned how good a computer is needed to have a simulspace. We get numbers on what a simulspace account is usually cost and given that I'd say that an implanted simulspace server would be of high cost (becuase implanted stuff are usually more expensive). I do know that this is a thing that has come up in one campaign I played in and I think the GM then decided it was possible which I agree with. So yes and high is my answer. :)

If it includes a decently designed and detailed simulspace and some updates over the next months or years I would say high as well.

cost should be high but
cost should be high but remeber this all it takes is something the size of a loaf of bread to run a titan. most simulspaces do not need such hardware

I was under the impression
I was under the impression that a set of Mesh Inserts was all that was required to host a simulspace server - but the egos joined to the server aren't actually "in" that server, they're running on their local machines and are merely remotely connected in a shared perceptual space. Since we know an ego/muse can run on an Ecto, I imagine the minimal cost for a server capable of locally running twenty or so egos would be Low x 20, or 5,000 or so. Discount for common/everyday tech. Whether you could fit that inside someone's head, though, is GM fiat.

That's normally the idea for Simulspace servers, but I want my morph to be able to Simulspace even if alone and thru a gate. So its got to be a local server. :)
