Rules for biodrones seem vague, so I'm at a loss on a few questions:

1. Is there an "intended" method of controlling biodrones? Autonomous, remote-controlled, or rigged?

2. When autonomous, do you use a biodrone's attributes (Agility, etc.) or its commlink's attributes (Response, etc.) for tests?

3. When remote controlling, (as above)? Or do you use your Command program?

4. When rigging, (as above)? Or do you use *your* commlink's attributes?

5. Do you still get the Dodge/Melee/Surprise bonuses from TRACES/SEIES when you're rigging the biodrone?

6. What penalties do prepared, trained bio-riggers face? -1 to all actions? -2 to to Pilot Anthroform? Is rigging a biodrone generally a dumb idea?

7. Speaking of which, when exactly do you need to roll Pilot Anthroform anyway? (Running Wild p29 seems to make a big deal out of this)

8. In game terms, what does an Orientation Goad do?
