Simon got a reaction from Barton in Skill: Primary & 2 Secondary
There is nothing simple about Enhanced Senses -- they required a LOT of code in HD to work (above and beyond the template definitions).

Simon reacted to floorman241 in What is the ideal Java version for usage?
"We've replaced this character's normal RKA with Folger's crystals. Let's see if they notice the difference."
Also, everything is now downloaded, installed, and functional. Thanks for the help.

Simon reacted to Hugh Neilson in Partially Limited VPP Control Cost
I'll admit I found the discussions related to Power Frameworks tough to parse through (as seen above). There are two, so if they are not treated the same, there's little point having a general discussion. "You can also apply this effect to Advantages, Adders, Power Frameworks, and parts of a power. " does not answer the question of how it would be applied to a Power Framework.Simply being able to have partially limited powers as slots is applying the effect to a Power Framework.
You can get the same point cost (maybe out a bit for rounding) using Simon's "two 38 point VPPs" or my "one 50 and one 25 point VPP" model as you'll get with a single 75 point VPP and a partially limited control cost. And your GM may allow any of the three, disallow all three or modify the pricing. Whether book-legal, GM permission legal or only legal by GM override, some GMs will allow it in the specific game and others will not. If they do, it costs the same and plays the same.
I asked whether this can be done in HD, and if so how. Simon answered that HD does not allow it as I described, because it's at best a questionable interpretation of some pretty uncertain reading in the rules. He provided a mechanism for getting the construct in HD at the same point costs. He answered all the questions.
Whether you agree with his rules interpretation (and disallow the construct entirely) or disagree (and put it in HD as he set out), it will work exactly the same way in play. Many GMs don't allow VPPs at all, period.
As I don't use HD, I don't often visit this Board, so maybe I misinterpret its purpose. However, as I understand it, this Board is not about interpreting RAW, or whether any given GM would allow a "GM permission" or "GM override" build, it's about how to get HD to build what you want it to build. That question is answered, by the SW designer who is also very savvy with the rules.
Thanks for both that answer and your reasoning behind it, Simon.

Simon got a reaction from Hugh Neilson in Partially Limited VPP Control Cost
VPPs are often/frequently handled differently from other Power Frameworks, and there are multiple statements in the rules on VPPs that can be interpreted to indicate that Partially Limiting the VPP itself is not something that should be done (game balance, yadda yadda). There's a reason VPPs have a stop sign.
But it's moot.
If you want to allow a Partially Limited VPP you build it in HD the EXACT SAME WAY you would build any other Partially Limited Power.

Simon got a reaction from Hugh Neilson in Partially Limited VPP Control Cost
Again, make two VPPs as described above - no different from any other Partially Limited Power, assuming your GM allows it.

Simon got a reaction from Cancer in Coronavirus
Slight change in plans - originally was scheduled in a location about 2 hours from me, but got a call from our local hospital saying that they can get me in on Friday...for the J&J vaccine. That'll get me fully vaccinated about a week ahead of my wife, so I've got that going for me...which is nice.
