Ok from Arsenal a sidecar adds +3 to motorcycle's body.

1. Does the additional body add to the number of slots a motorcycle with sidecar has, ie a Scorpion has a body of 8 with sidecar 11, does that mean the two have a total of 11 slots for mods?

2. Does a sidecar equipped motorcycle need Motorcycle Gyro Stabilization, for the Pilot to drive the bike with sidecar by itself?

3. Since a sidecar has a body of 3, making it about the size of medium drone, can it have the same number of sensors a medium drone has?

4. Does a motorcycle have the same number of sensors that a 4 wheeled vehicle has?

1) sure, why not. i personally would rule that you would have to split up any mods into one group of 3 and one group of 8, but that's just me. it would certainly make sense if you were thinking of bringing the sidecar along only some of the time.

2) probably by the rules, but i would waive that requirement.

3) i would lean towards no, personally. the sidecar is not really a vehicle (ie you can't drive around in just the sidecar, you need the motorcycle) and imo would not have built-in sensors (unless you used some of the 3 slots to upgrade the vehicle sensors, in which case i would rule that those sensors that have been boosted one step are in the sidecar).

4) yes, it does. it is a full-fledged vehicle, and therefore has full-fledged vehicle sensors.

Well... In theory, you could mount one on each side. Whether you can mount additional ones to the outer sides of the Side-cars, well, that would be a GM Call. Does not say you can't, and does not say that you can. Of course, each Side Car reduces your Speed and Acceleration by 20%, Cumulative, so there is an obvious incentive to not go overboard. wobble.gif

I just want two, one on either side. With gatling guns on remote mounts.
