I've been laboring under the impression that the yellowjacket is a drone, but, I realized that it says in the description that the wireless on them is often turned off so they can't be hacked, which leads me to believe that a meat-pilot can sit in one.
So, if a pilot can sit in it, how many more people can? Does it give a number somewhere in the book and I'm just too dense to notice? edit: why the hell is passenger limit not a basic vehicle stat? |

One bucket seat; old intel from Rigger 2 pg. 163.

Thank you for your prompt and well informed response. You are a gentleman and a Runner.

Yup, it's listed as a helicopter, not a drone.

You can always strap the other runners to the hull.
I'm sure they won't mind. Plus, if they're heavily armored, bonus for you! -karma |

Screw armor. Strap two guys to the hull, give them each an assault cannon, and you've just doubled (tripled?) the Yellowjacket's firepower. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

the yellowjacket is probably a straight rip from bubblegum crisis, where the ad police would deploy similar vehicles for air support.

I strive to be a gentleman, but I have to admit to some faults, IE thinking like a runner occasionally. Thanks.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I only meant that, as a helicopter (vehicle), it must have at least 1 seat. All vehicles are drone-treatable, certainly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The YellowJacket is described in Arsenal as the military version of the Wasp, and the Wasp is described in SR4 as a one-man craft.

Maybe, but that doesn't stop it from having at least one seat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
