Here's a presentation of what you can do in SR with drones + agents for discussion.
The system is a computer (comlink), several ornithopter micro-drones, and a small re-charging station for the drones. All of this fits into a fanny pack or similar form factor. As the drones have quite short loiter time, they fly back to the recharging station on a regular basis to top up. The comlink runs an agent which directs the drones around the wearer in a constant security perimeter. The drones watch for: Anyone with a criminal SIN close to you (outgrowth of registered sex offenders database + facial recognition). Any people, vehicles, or drones that seem to be following you (or just looks at you too long). Checks out any alleys or other danger zones you are approaching (cross referencing where you are with local crime reports) to tell what areas to give more attention. Sends you a warning and highlight for any weapons it sees (by simply looking). Spots all broadcasting cops in your area. Proposed bonuses for the system: +3 AR bonus to detect ‘close’ shadowing (~25 meters?) +1 AR bonus vs ‘far’ shadowing (~50 meters?) +2 AR bonus to reaction roll vs ‘close’ ambushes (~25 meters, danger zones) +1 AR bonus to reaction roll vs ‘far’ ambushes (~50 meters?) +2 AR perception bonus to spot drawn weapons (~25 meters?) Chance of detection of anyone with a criminal SIN within 50? Meters (roll 4-6 dice for perception? With penalties from disguise skill, if any?) Automatic detection of any ‘broadcasting’ cops/LE personnel (user set distance) The user just straps on the fanny pack, subscribes the drone controller (comlink) to his own so that it can feed him the info and goes. The agent/drone pilots do all the complicated work. Discussion? |
