During a run last night my gaming group ran across a couple of stumbling blocks in regards to Drones and Rigging (and mounted weapons).
First: Drone Initiative. Stated in the book, Drone initiative is a Pilot + Response roll. But Drones don't have a Response. Is this referring to the Response of the Commlink they are subscribed to? But then how do you handle a drone that is opporating autonomously? Second: Mounted Weapons. Vehicles and Drones have a number of weapon mounts equal to their Body/3 (round down). That's the easy part. Now defining those mounts is of course a little more difficult. The old Rigger 3 book had all the wonderful options, and I'm sure SR4 will eventually have the same. But in the meantime, the question we had was, do weapon mounts on Vehicles and Drones offer any sort of Recoil Comp? Seems logical that an LM mounted on a hardpoint would have at least some RC. |
