 Sensor Capacity for Micro/Medium Drones, is there errata for this, or did I just miss it? |

As far as the rules are concerned, the sensors did not detect it. Since the only sensor is a camera, it quite obviously was not pointed the right way.

Tarantula:
When I asked about the Arsenal errata.... Synner has stated that the sensor ratings for things w/o it (cameras, mics, etc.) will be addressed in upcoming BBB book errata. He also stated that upgrades eating up sensor package capacity (adding low-light or infra etc...) will also be addressed. In any case for RAW purposes, I think the improved sensor array mod will become more important. (remember all drones have a min of 4 mod spaces... I missed that first time around and thought things were limited to BOD mods... when it's BOD mods, min 4). Granted that can make for some extremely expensive 'expendable' micro-drones. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to see something akin to cybereyes/ears... with a 1 space, 2 space, 3 space camera and mic and the vision enhancement mod relegated to the sensor rating instead of being seperate for sensor packages. |

Yes. What we don't know, is that if the different ratings of sensors will take up increased capacities in in the sensor table. I.E. we don't know if a rating 6 and rating 1 camera will remain at 1 capacity, or if there will be a change. Which is why we'll just have to wait and see what it ends up as.
