I'm currently trying to make a Rigger and just had a couple of questions. I tried looking through the big FAQ thread and was having trouble finding definitive answers on these things.

-How do I know how many Cyber Programs my RCC can run? The Noise Reduction and Sharing section on p. 267 references splitting device rating between Autosofts and noise reduction, but makes no mention of other programs.

-How do I know what the device rating of my drone is? A table on p. 234 lists drones as an example for device rating 2, but that seems to be more of a generalized example, and the fact that its later described that drones can equip a number of autosofts equal to dr/2 suggests it can vary otherwise if it was a static number they would have just said the number.

1. If you want to run a cyberprogram it always takes up a slot for an Autosoft. So if you have Sharing set to 3, you have 3 slots - you can run any combination of Autsofts or Cyberprograms that total to 3.

2. Drone Device Rating = Pilot (you'll find this listed in the Vehicle/Drone's attributes in the Gear section).
