Are there any initiative rules given for drones that are acting independently of riggers? I don't mean any sort of drone with a robot's Adaptation Pool, just the ones with good ol' Pilot Ratings.
Example - I set up a couple of Ares Arms Sentry II drones while on an overnight camping trip, possibly using the PreProgrammed Drone Commands from R3. "Fire at anything bigger than a cat that approaches within 150m," I tell them. My Cyberassassin-B-Gone remote deck blinks away merrily as I go to sleep. What sort of initiative would they generate? They certainly shouldn't be using my initiative while I'm asleep, should they? And if they can't generate an initiative score at all without being robots (ew... expensive!) isn't that a pretty massive step backwards from previous Sentry Gun systems? |
