Hey I was wondering since the hologram can change shapes and sizes how is it and even turn off its hardlight projection how is it supposed to carry its gear? I was thinking that it could be that instead of purchasing gear they purchase schematics that they can then choose to use when projecting the body but instead of bulk (since it’s hard light) but the have a limited ssd that acts as bulk. Or is it that the grave or at least the armor they buy covers the core itself and not the hardlight body. Thoughts? I feel like if they just have to drop everything whenever they shift to their core form that really kneecaps the race. Plas can they move at all (even roll) in their core form?
This was also addressed in the Errata ... but in game play, we opted to let the Hologram PC trade physical objects with merchants for a hard light version of the the item. In game lore, we said merchants use the hard light chips to let folks browse their wares ... since if they walk out with it, it disappears outside range of their hologram projectors and no risk to them loosing their wares. This allowed the hologram PC to spawn with whatever holographic gear they wanted and layer actual, physical gear, over top as needed. When he returns to his natural sphere form ... all his physical objects either drop to the ground or get shifted into a null space container.
As for moving in their natural form, not without additional tweaks. Our PC got an augment (Ferous something) that allowed them to hover over metal surfaces, allowing some movement in natural form.
