yeah triumph is another thing I dont understand (along with evil unlimited)
the book talks about high payed deltas working for triumph but what the hell
do they do?? I cant imagine a speedster getting payed a huge salery just to
be a messeger, I mean lets face it deltas arent that powerfull (except
maybey some of these new ones that i havent got the book for as yet,
teleporters for example, usualy teleporting is somthing roleplaying games
like to steer well clear of) The only thing you might pay them loads of
money to do is solidering (execpt gageteers of course)

Of course im just talking about the powerpackages I know of, the silver
ghost chappie that is mentined could obviously command a high price and
truth could make a fortune if you could trust her

as to evil unlimited, the archetype isnt a delta, and yet it says that this
is the type of delta that the government propoganda warns the regs about.
what is evil unlimited what are its goals etc etc I expect this could cover
a whole new supplement by its self!

Anyway back to my orgional quesiton about the percentage of population to
deltas, I just had a thought,  there is one gageteer per armegedon suit.
this would suggest that gageteer is by far the most common of delta types
since DP is said to be most comprising of regs in armegedon suits with only
the odd delta.

as a side note (this is getting a bit long isnt it) its says that a gagetter
can have three gadegtes at once, but surely its much more that this since
you have one working (1h), overhaul #2 (8h), overhaul #3(8h), sleep(7), next
day, maintain #1(1h), maintain #2 (1h) maintain #3(1h), overhaul #4 (8h),
overhaul #5 (8h), sleep (5h), next day, maintain #1-#5 (5h), overhaul #6 etc
etc etc

so the max number you can get going is realy limited by how much sleep you
need lets say 8 hours that leave 16 hours of mainetance time. so if you go a
night without rest (maintain #1-#15, overhaul #16, sleep(1h)) you could
concivably get all 16 overhauled over a period of days. Now with extra
successes you can extened the time bettween mainenatce so you could go
higher than that, If my maths is right that would explain the
gageteer/powersuit raito

it also means that gageteers are much more powerfulll than the other deltas
since pthey can have flying blasting superspeed, forcefield what ever
gadgets all working at once and still get enough sleep

although ive just remebered dosnt it say that a gageteer can only maintain 1
gaget at a time... hmm what dose at a time mean? 1 per day? one per as long
as the last one you maintained lasts? remeber those extra successes add to
the time it works
