So, RIggers. The oft-overlooked, usually unloved stepchild of Shadowrun. Back in the day, they were the guy who said "I'll keep the van running," and stayed outside for the whole adventure. Later, they got drones, and suddenly the sound of dakka filled the skies. Each time they finally got their book of toys, it heralded a whole new edition, so they barely even got to use them before they lost them.

I'll freely confess that I love the lil' guys, and furthermore I made a lobby effort to change things up by making the Rigger book the *first* book for SR5 but, clearly, I lost that one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But I'm in a mood today and I'd like to chat about them a bit. Mind you, I hit my dayjob in about an hour and a half, so most chatting I'll be doing *after* work, but I figured I might as well seed things here.

So, before we go further, big note here:

DON'T DROP STATS HERE, AND TRY TO NOT GET SPECIFIC!

There are legal things when you start in about "I want a Harley Davidson K943 with a speed of ..." if that gets printed later, then heads roll. So, none of that.

Seriously.

From there, vague is better in a general sense. "I want more anthromorphic drones" is fine. "Giant mecha!" also fine. "I want Optimus Prime"... not so much.

So, that said, here's a few questins I have for Dumpshock.

First, would you rather the focus be more on vehicles, more on drones, or evenly split?

Would you rather vehicles be more civillian style, security, or military? (For instance, 60 civillian/30 security/10 military, for percentages.)

Would you rather the drones be more civillian style, security, or military?

Would you rather have fewer things with large write-ups and art (For example, Run and Gun style) or more things with smaller write-ups and little-to-no art (Similar to the SR5 core book)

Similar to a bit above, how would you like to see a split between ground, air, water, or "other" transportation? (Shadowrun! In! SPaaaaaaaaaace!)

Mods would seem a no-brainer, but would you like to see a "Build-it-from-scratch" system, or is that a waste of space since no one buys a Facility?

Should Autosoft and Pilot programming rules be found in the Rigger book or in the Matrix book?

What vehicles/drones that have been published in previous editions need to make a comeback? (Merucry Comet or DEATH!)

There's bound to be something I'm forgetting, but these are the tirst things that tumble out of my head this morning.

Again, please remember that if you get too specific or stat things out, it's an untouchable thing, so walk softly!
