Ok, I’m gonna stretch the possibilities a little.
Could I do this? I have a SB Microskimmer with a Camera, (Image Link, Smartlink and Image Enhancement 3). It sits at the other side of the warehouse I’ve snuck into. Im presently hidden behind a crate while an unknown assailant is taking pot shots at me. According to the image feed from the drone the attacker is hiding behind a wall (Good Cover) and shooting through a small hole, I can hardly see the gun – but the drone has a full body view of the assailant. According to SR4 a subscription list of a device is System X2. A pistol with a smartlink would be a rating 3 (Standard Electronic Device) and can have 6 other devices subscribed. I assign the Drone smartlink to subscribe to the gun (usign the signal of my commlink that the gun is linked through) and my own implanted smartlink to subscribe to the gun too. My image link shows the drones POW where my pistol shot should hit according to the data it gets from the gun and centers the crosshair on the fully visible target. My own gun aims at a spot a few inches beside the protruding barrel according to my own POW where the targeting reticule is aimed at the area where the attacker is shooting from. What modifiers would apply? Visibility modifiers: Yes Blind Fire: No (I see him) Good Cover: No (I STILL see him) Shooting through Barriers: Yes (There is still a wall between us) Having a drone giving tactical information is quite useful but I wonder if I would even need to equip the drone with a smartlink in the first place, wouldn’t the image link be enough? |
