Alright guys, i need a little advice. I have a player in the group i play with that is a complete moron. For instance, in the game today he took over an hour just to get to the arcology and purchace 2 drones and then tells a level 1 contact to pay the last 35000 and sign for the drones when they are delivered in the morning.

now in the kids defense he is still a rather new player and 3ed isnt the easiest game to learn. But, he takes stupidity to a new level. what do i do about him.
