so what do you roll to see how well a drone understands it's instructions?
I thought it would work like Computer+Command = net hits, net hits = complexity of instructions, Complexity of instructions = number of clauses in command so the player who rolls 3 hits can say; "IF sensors detect an elf IN THIS quadrant then SHOOT at elf." A player who rolls 4 hits can say "IF sensors detect and elf IN THIS quadrant, AND elf is armed then SHOOT armed elf." A player who rolls 5 hits can say "GO TO this area, SCANN this quadrant, IF sensors detect elf AND elf is armed then SHOOT armed elf." |

no, it's actually quite good... in a way... it replaces your attributes when remotely controlling drones (which is different from rigging or commanding them). for example, the book points out that remotely building something at an automated factory would be a command + (appropriate technical skill) test. apart from potential TM abuse (massive threaded command CF ftw!) this is also useful for people who don't want to risk dumpshock, don't have 3 IPs, and don't want to invest high stats into multiple areas (you no longer leed high command to drive, high agility to shoot, high int to see, etc) it's basically a lot like rigging, but a little less easy to get a bonus (you get +2 for control rig, which is 2 BPs, compared to needing a 10 BP quality to get +2 to controlling with command) but a little bit safer (less risk of dumpshock). so, for example, if you want to ram stuff with your rotodrone, and want to have the benefits of hotsim, but don't want the risks of dumpshock and feedback, then the command program is just the thing for you :) (another benefit: you don't need a response chip on the drone you're piloting, just whatever your commlink has... so your rotodrone doesn't need a costly response upgrade, and is therefore nice and cheap to replace if the need arises... ) |
