Can I get people's opinions on the following scenario?
A character has Small Unit Tactics 6, a Tactical Computer (+BattleTac mod), a tactical communications system (rating 4 master + 3 rating 4 personal units), an RCD, 4 drones with sensor ratings 1,1,3 and 4, and 3 teammates hooking 2 senses each (sight and sound) over radio, the teammates each have personal comm units and battletac receivers or cyberlinks. He links the drone sensors from the RCD to the ports on the Tactical computer. By page 28 of R3, each point of sensor rating can be counted as an extra sensory feed (if applicable). He also links the senses from his teammates to ports. He sits in a van somewhere, occasionally commanding drones, and using small unit tactics tests to give his teammates extra initiative (or extra combat pool if you allow the rule from P106, CC). Do you think it's possible? Is there any extra gear (router?) that he'd need? Does each drone (or each rating point of sensors) need a separate sensor program? Can he give commands to drones from captain's chair mode then, on his last initiative pass, use small unit tactics to give his teammates a bonus? |
