1) As far as I can see, it's cheaper to take a level of Submersion and a point of Resonance than to simply take that last point of Resonance. Is this correct or am I missing something:
Example: From 5/6 Resonance to 6/6 Resonance costs 25 points. Taking a level of Submersion and buying the Resonance gets you to 6/7 Resonance, gives you and Echo and costs 23 points. Going to 7/8 Resonance from there would cost only 26 points (as compared to 7/7's 25 points) but I wouldn't turn down another Echo for the cost of a single BP. 2) Do Dronomancers need control rigs? As far as I can tell, the control rig exists as a set of inputs and feedback for the node that is connected to the drone. It seems to me that the control rig isn't even connected in any conventional way to the the node that is the will of the Dronomancers/Technomancer. As I read the rules on it, I'm not even sure it gives it's +2 to Dronomancers. "The control rig provides a +2 dice pool bonus on all Vehicle skill tests while the rigger is “jumped into” a vehicle/drone via full virtual reality. This bonus does not apply to other drone manipulation through the Matrix. Is what a Dronomancer does considered full VR or is it something beyond that? |
