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.

The two are mutually exclusive.

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!

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

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.


Yet it might be a good idea to treat this helicopter like a drone with a passenger seat. TM Rigger/Mage combo for the win.

I only meant that, as a helicopter (vehicle), it must have at least 1 seat. All vehicles are drone-treatable, certainly.

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.

The armor and the military electronics use up additional space?

Maybe, but that doesn't stop it from having at least one seat.
