There'd be a lot less ranting and raving on the forums, that's for sure.

Ok, so the general consensus is that the Lynx is a small car, and the dragons could be anything. Awesome. Now, statless flamethrower issue would be nice. . .

Actually, I solved that. The stats are precisely what you were thinking if you use the Mini Flamethrower addon for the commlink (SG 146). It has ammo for one shot, a range of 2 meters, DV of 4, and -half impact for AP. It's scary how accurately this models your original attempt at statting it.

It's like they actually read a preceding book!

Where was it I could get the "This Old Drone" PDF?

I still think that I should take the firelance laser and add mobility weapon upgrade and a drone pilot - It would probably be even more movable on its own than mounted on a drone.

Say, IS there any restrictions to getting weapon upgrades to vehicle weapons?

I have this view of a rigger with accompanying Firelance vehicle lasers floating behind him...

*EDIT*

Oh forget that, a drone with gunmount is far cheaper and has non of the negative impacts of a propulsion system.

Yes. The restriction is 'vehicle weapons can't'.

Nope, I've checked.

There is nothing under vehicle weapons or weapon upgrades that hinder vehicle weapons to have weapon upgrades like propulsion.

I didn't say it was in the book. You have to read the unwritten 'is this insane?' section. It applies to the majority of weapon mods on vehicle weapons.

However, I think it falls under the rule, "Instead these weapons are meant for installation aboard vehicles only." 'Effectively a tiny drone' doesn't cut it, as you know.

oh, yea, but that depends entirely on the pink mohawk factor.

Of course. Still, the flying mod can only make smaller guns (inc. holdouts) fly for 2min, so your huge laser cannons better work fast! Aren't they also connected to giant batteries?

Nope its not. There is no mention in the propulsion upgrade about the size of the weapon, only that the battery pack or fueltank is limited compared to a drones normal propulsion and thus have a more limited flight/movement time.

This means that the propulsion upgrade is scaleable to the weapon it's supposed to lift

I'm sorry, I was still speaking reasonably, not RAW-wise. Either way, 2 min isn't long, and giant lasers still need (external) batteries.

Well, actually I dont find it unreasonable , considering the cost between a large drone and the flying propulsion system it is rather reasonable that I can get a flying laser cannon since the propulsion system itself is 20K - That is as much as a conestavista (sp?) bus.

Compare that to a large drone at (VTOL variant) 2000Y Add weapon mount for about 2000Y or so and the propulsion system is still silly in it's extreme cost.

Trailer Hitch and the little wagon from the first part of "The Hurt Locker". Done.

Huh. I wonder if I can replicate the Hellsing "dual-wielded 30mm autocannons vs war zeppelin" scene using flying gun mods. At the very least you could use em to reduce the apparent weight of a cannon.
