The Caboose (OOC Thread)
Combat Sense:
The idea behind the skill is that solos can never be surprised and always go first, not that they're great detectives. If we're looking at revising the Awareness component, I'd suggest that it works at full value but only to avoid surprise attacks, ambush, traps and the like. If Greedo had been a Solo, he might have had a chance to shoot first!
Netrunning:
I've never run a 2020 game on RPOL but here's some thoughts: during the 'legwork phase', (as Shadowrun calls it. Gathering info on the job from contacts and the like) the Netrunner is going to be doing their net thing while other people are working contacts. It's just a different set of rolls but not necessarily more or less complicated than getting in to see your friend the chief of police, and convincing him to hand over a sealed case file.
During the mission, putting the Net in a separate thread and running one round of meat time and one round of net time as being the same bring things into line. You could even lock the Netrunner out of the thread that his body is in while he's online since he's not aware of his own body until he takes damage. If everyone else is waiting for the Runner to disable the cameras, open the door or whatever, it's going to get paranoid real quick!
