SR4A says that control rigs "provide a +2 dice pool bonus on all Vehicle skill tests while the rigger is 'jumped into' a vehicle/drone via virtual reality. This bonus does not apply to other drone manipulation through the Matrix." (p338).
However, in the Wireless World chapter, it says on the sidebar: "a control rig is far more efficient, reflected in the +2 bonus a rigger receives for doing just about anything while jumped into a device." So which is it? Do control rigs give a +2 bonus on jumped-in Vehicle tests (by the capitalization, I assume they mean Vehicle Active Skill tests: pilot, gunnery), or a +2 bonus on ALL jumped-in tests (initiative, damage resistance, perception, etc.)? And this stacks with the regular hot sim +2? |
