Whew... I've been trying to get the Rigger rules down pat, and after going through the rigger section in the BBB, and Rigger 3 Revised, I've got a couple of quick (maybe) questions for all of you:
When a decker (datajack only) is connected to a remote-control deck and is controlling a remote-control network, or is accessing a remote-control network via a cyberdeck's Remote control utility w/ a Riggers Protocol Emulation Module: A. he can only operate in captain's chair mode, correct? B. But wouldn't he be able to control a drone/vehicle directly using the virtual dashboard rules through the remote-control network? ( I think I would allow it but the rules seem to directly oppose this even though the rigger (VCR Implanted person) would be much better at this type of function.) C. Would he still be able to use his Matrix initiative while in captain's chair mode since he's just giving orders to drones anyway? (Seems more cerebral than motor-function-esque to me. I understand at least from the example that riggers do use their improved initiative in captain's chair mode) I may be opening a Pandora's Box with this. Especially with the Matrix Initiative and Virtual Dashboard thrown together... Since Initiative would depend on what you were doing at the beginning of the round. Maybe a new type of remote-control deck could come out that is made specially for non-riggers that allows them to control vehicles via a remote-control network using ASSIST instead of MSST in which they wouldn't get any Control Pool or added Initiative but could "jump" into the virtual dashboard mode....Hmmm... |
