VR GOGGLE/HELMET
This, much cheaper, version of VR gear is just that; the headgear,
without any gloves nor aditional stuff. Still, without the equipment,
Virtual Control can't get MP bonus, and suffer -2 penalty to Awareness/Notice
using VN's Sensor. to use this function. It costs 9800yen(about
$80.00). Not a cheap buy for highschool kids, do you? Note that
Goggle/Grass are fragle like actual grasses, so it could be broken
in afterschool-streetfighting...
REFLEX VR GEAR
To make good use of the reflex control equipment, you need to
use a special pod, or else, use a VR datasuit with tracking devices
on the articulations, or a set of datagloves (including that of
the VR Deluxe Kit) at the very least. With the datasuit, you get
to add the Reflex bonus to Initiative, added to MP. Without not
even the datagloves, the pilot suffers the same problem as virtual
controls without googles.
On most VRcades there are available datagloves for use, but most
people don't like the feeling of someone else's sweat on the hands...
There are available disposable glove linings at ¢50 apiece, or
you can buy your own gloves. A simple set of datagloves costs
$80. Once again, expensive for a kid... how good a child you were
last Christmas?
Most datasuits are one-size-fits-all jumpsuits that look like
pilotsuits on Anime (imagine pilotsuits of Amuro on Gundam, or
Hikaru on Macross). Most VRcades have at least a couple of them,
but really dedicated VM gamers can buy their own. Wearing a suit
shows how much of a maniac on VM you are, since it looks that
you came from Halloween party or Comike. The suit cost 24000yen
(about $200.00). It's recommended to use the Laundry Service of
VM company, at least once in a while. I mean, your heroine will
never feel good for the smell of the-suit-that-have-never-washed-since-last-Christmas.
The Laundry costs 480yen($4.00) and a day.
