So drone size mounts um, whats the flexibility? are they like turrets? can I put them in vehicles instead?

[Marcus Gideon]

Rigger 0.5 adds (needless) complexity to this situation. But the Core rules pg 461-462 says that you have (Body / 3, round down) worth of mounting space. Basically points spent on purchasing weapon mounts.

Standard weapon mounts require 1 of those spaces, and can support an Assault Rifle or smaller, as well as 250 rounds of ammo.
Heavy weapon mounts take up 2 of those spaces, and can support any size weapon, as well as 500 rounds of ammo or (Body) worth of rockets / missiles.
Each of those weapon mount types can be operated remotely, and covers a 90 degree firing arc.

These rules apply both to arming your drones, and arming your vehicles. So your GMC Bulldog (Body 16) has 5 spaces in which to fit weapon mounts.

ya but what are those mounts? and the pop up mounts are they considered fixed or can I get turrets?

[Herr Brackhaus]

Core rules of Body / 3 mounts is superseded by Rigger 5.0, which has more specific rules. More specific and newer release overrides core.

 Question; pretty much all of my drones have rating 5 autosofts.Rigger 5 says that drones can only have auotsoft up to their pilot rating. Do I  have to drop the auotsofts down to legal rating or do the current ones get grandfathered in? 

[Rooks]

long as your RCC has DR 5 you can run rating 5 Autosofts

[Pap Renvela]

Only if that rating 5 autosoft is on the RCC. If it's being run on the drone and its pilot rating is less than 5 its a no go.

[Hibiki54]

The basic Standard and Heavy weapon mounts are fixed forward facing external mounts.

As of Rigger 5, you need to pay 100 nuyen x Increased Modification Points of the weapon. This covered in Drone Modification pg 122 of Rigger 5.

OK and pop up turrets are turret internal

[Fabe]

Wel most of my drones have pilot/DR 3 so I guess that means I have to drop my autosofts down to 3. Or  I could say since I don't actually Rigger 5 the new rules don't apply yet
