The 1 man tacnet, Why duct taping drones to yourself is a good idea Options

[Faraday]

According to Unwired, one can use drones as team members to supply sensory input limited by their sensor rating. Basically, you could have a properly equipped drone as part of a rating 3 tacnet instead of having to worry about some other team member being nearby. Trouble is, anything less than a combat drone will get picked off or hacked, not to mention the pain of enemies jamming you.

So, what to do? Why you chop off their legs and strap the little guys on to your body of course! A bust-a-move with limited maneuverability, 6 sensor channels (and some redundant channels in case of smoke, etc), a 6 sensor rating, ECCM 3, gecko-grip, and a skinlink makes for a little companion who can hitch a ride on your torso/shoulder/head while providing a valuable member of a rating 3 tacnet that is unhackable and (almost) unjammable.

That means a (GM-determined, as always) +3 to perception tests, firearms tests, close combat tests, dodge tests, infiltration tests, and surprise tests. It's biggest issue is when explosive grenades and rockets get involved. Getting caught in explosions is bad for your tacnet (not to mention yourself) as mini drones are about as tough as soggy toilet paper. Enemies can also shoot at the bust-a-moves themselves, but usually they'll be busy with the aggressive, moving target, not the weird puppets attached to it.

Costs can be low for the returns, below is pretty much the minimum necessary to get this going.
