How do you determine the Signal, Response and Firewall values of Drones?? Do you have to buy them all separately as if it was a commlink or what?

It's somewhere in the BBB
Standarddrones have a Rating of 3 Security Drones a Rating of 4 and Military Drones a Rating of 5 This is default. You can Upgrade the Matrix Attributes individually,but it takes Time & Money HokaHey Medicineman |

Somewhat trickier: how do you determine the Sensor rating of a drone?

Look at the sensor entry in the vehicle table? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
In case the sensors are modded it's the average of all sensors, unless you are using only one or several specific sensor(s) (like the geiger counter but not the microphone). |

Well, Arsenal just says that "if you improve all the sensors" you'd improve the sensor rating. This raises some problems; - Some sensor types don't have ratings - What if you add sensors? Does it suddenly become harder to improve overall Sensor rating because you added more sensors? - How is the base Sensor rating determined, other than fiat? - How to small drones with capacity for only [3] sensors even manage to move about coherently, when a car needs a lot more than that? - What if you improve half of the sensors enormously? |

- How is the base Sensor rating determined, other than fiat? The stats for each vehicle include a base sensor rating. Seriously, look it up, it's right there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) QUOTE - How to small drones with capacity for only [3] sensors even manage to move about coherently, when a car needs a lot more than that? I'd say the car does still drive without the radar or atmosphere sensor, just like ABS or electronic stability are not required to move a car off the spot. All other questions should be answered by the errata'd "Individual Sensors and Sensor Tests" section from Arsenal, clicky linky |

All other questions should be answered by the errata'd "Individual Sensors and Sensor Tests" section from Arsenal, clicky linky Those errata are interesting. They clear up a couple of questions, but leave some others; QUOTE (Arsenal Errata) This rating represents the fact that only a combined array of 4 or more sensors can provide effective multidirectional maneuvering, tactical solutions, and spatial awareness to a vehicle. So how about those microdrones with [3] sensor slots? And rephrasing the rest of the blah about improving sensors: effectively a drone has a Sensor attribute equal to the lowest rating of those sensors that have a rating. Okay, that's simple enough, once you decipher the rather arcane description. |

From my understanding, which may be wrong, any drone with a weapon mount is a security drone, and otherwise it's a standard drone.
Unless it's a military drone, which are clearly marked. |
