New GM here and I'm having a tough time understanding how control of drones work. I don't have my book today and I was hoping someone could help me out. My group had our first couple of sessions and this topic came up. I kind of winged it during the session to keep the momentum going but would rather find out what the hell I did right and what I totally fubared. Specifically:
1) How does a person take control of another person's drone 2) How do they maintain control of it 3) How does a person keep someone else from taking control of their drones Thanks in advance chummers. |
