now thats wacky weird.
Yes and no.
Giving a pilot the same attribute for system/firewall/response/signal actually gives us more problems since vehicle security is rather moot as all regular vehicles have a pilot rating of 1.
So how do we explain this when regular vehicles have a device rating of 3 but a pilot of 1?
Hell, security vehicles have a device rating of 4 but a pilot rating of 1?
This would mean that they have a high response, signal and firewall but a system rating of 1. So 99% of our vehicles cannot run higher autosofts than rating 1 and rolls 2D6 +/1 handling (Pilot + autosoft).
They cannot have any software higher than rating 1 unless running optimized software.
Making pilot attributes more flexible makes perfect sense to me so I'll go with Arsenal rules.
The "pilot" is basically the dogbrain, the attribute of the drone - that little piece of core programming in how it controls a vehicle.
System on the other hand is the total resources the drone have in the way of how well it can run programs
