A guy in my group is working on a technomancer and has some questions. I haven't made a TM before so without some research I'm just as clueless. See below...
QUOTE
I’ve read over that stuff in the book several times, and there’s some stuff that just isn’t clear.

1) It makes it pretty clear that technomancers don’t use comlinks like regular hackers, that they just access the matrix with their minds.  They also point out that if they want to save data, they have to transfer it to some kind of storage medium.  The question becomes, what does the technomancer use to access the data chip…does he need some kind of device to read it, or can he just access the data stored on a data chip?

2) They are very sketchy on the drones and what it takes / or if you can upgrade different systems on them…ie, give them thermographic sensors, boost the signal…etc.

Any thoughts on these questions, or can you point me in a direction?

Any insight is appreciated.
