I'm learning a lot about Shadowrun from these forums, but there's a lot more to learn. Since the Search function isn't much help when the subject is very common, I've decided that the best way to gather the information I need is to make a series of threads focused on specific topics.

First up: drones. Seems to me that drones are the biggest force multiplier in the game. While some characters are content to fire one gun personally, putting themselves at risk, a rigger can have several drones firing at the target at the same time, while putting the entire planet between himself and the danger if he feels like it. That sounds like something I want to know about.

So, drones. What kind of drones do you want to start off with, as a rookie on a budget? What do you want to get next, once you've got some resources? What are your long-term goals in acquiring and equipping your remote controlled murder team? What do you arm them with? What are the highest priority modifications, programs, etc? What modifications, programs, or tactics are complete traps to be avoided? Which choices do you make differently when you're a technomancer instead of a mundane rigger? In addition to murder, how do you set up your vehicles, your spy drones, etc, and how do you prefer to prioritize?
