To everyone here: How much can you upgrade the Drone Hand. The rules say to use the stats of the Aztechnology Crawler, but in Arsenal, you can mod drones to hell and back. My question is, can you do that with the Drone hand?

German Bodytech says that you can upgrade the Sensors but there are no other upgrades possible

QUOTE (Medicineman @ Oct 28 2013, 03:41 AM)  German Bodytech says that you can upgrade the Sensors but there are no other upgrades possible HokaHow Medicineman Can you add in any of the normal upgrades to a cyberhand (shock hand, datajack, etc) or does the drone hand replace everything? Also If you upgrade the sensors, can use those sensors when it is attached to your body? Thanks in advance Medicineman |

ImO : You can't add Shockhand ,Cyberarmor or Upgrade the Dronehand as the Dronmehand replaces anything else.
(One of my Chars starts now with a Collection of Cyberhands (like the Villain in Bruce Lees 'Way of the Dragon' ) ) .....oO( DJ on a Cyberhand ? a DJ is Headware IIRC ?!) QUOTE Also if you upgrade the sensors, can use those sensors when it is attached to your body? Yeah, should be possible as you can also use the Sensors of other Drones that are attached or closeby, but only via Comlink. After all the Hand is just a Drone that acts as a Hand when attached QUOTE Does the drone hand come with a bod score? If aattachend to the arm No, if it runs independantly it has the same BOD as the Aztech Crawler with a crawling Dance Medicineman |

Found the section on the drone hand in Augmentation, p46:
"The drone hand features sensor and antenna arrays built into the wrist that are activated when the drone is detached and may be upgraded normally. The multifunctional and compact mechanics, however, do not allow further modifications." So no using the sensors unless the hand is detached, and only sensors / antenna arrays (wtf is that?) can be upgraded. |

Yes a DJ takes Capacity, but that Capacity is for the Cyberskull Hydraulic jacks also take Capacity and I'm quite sure they can't be installed in a Cybereye (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I always thought that Headware goes into a Head, Eyeware into the Eye, etc. IIRC in former editions (2 or 3) you could Install a DJ into the Hand but that was in former editions. Hey , I don't want to derail the Thread, but ImO its not possible to install Headware in the Body . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) with a Dance alongside the Rails Medicineman |
