I think it will cause more problems going for the money. Since the plan relies on us getting something to directly get the generator then if any number of problems arrive we will be out on time and it could make it harder to directly steal the generator itself.
i feel if we go for the generator then if problems arise we will still have the generator.
Yup. Trying to steal money to get a generator with could just cause far more problems than it's worth -- if we get caught then, we're screwed. If we get caught after we steal the generator, we'll have to fight our way out, but we'll still have the damn thing.
I say we keep this as simple as possible, so then it's less likely to get messed up.
Getting spare parts isn't a priority, though, it's only something we should bother with if we have time and if getting the generator is going well. Our priorities are to get a generator and to get away without the Bureau figuring out who we are. Getting spare parts would be nice, but if doing so jeopardizes our priorities then I say we shouldn't bother.
I do not feel it would really jeopardize our ability. If you were taking them from a small junk yard then I think two of us could do it. Also when is an oppurtunity like this gonna show itself again. We wanna keep the base operating after we defend it and without parts it won't be worth much but I do agree that if it becomes clear it could defeat our main purpose then it should be dropped.
Well, if it involves sneaking in somewhere to steal, then we need people with good Intrusion scores; I know that mine is the best of the group as of right now (and I've already done some sneak-and-snatch for the group). I don't know how many other people in the group have Intrusion, though, and if there aren't many with a decent score then trying to go for the spare parts as well could be problematic. I'd think that doing that at the same time as snagging the generator itself would be ideal, but if we don't have enough people with good Intrusion scores for both then we might not be able to.
You are right Lana but the first part of the mission will be simply to find the generator and then steal it. While we are finding the generator is when we should steal the parts. That is why i say we hit a junkyard because they won't be able to tell if any items are missing. So someone with a good intrusion skill and some backup could do it while everyone else is looking for the generator.
