Some Rigger questions:
Use drones in the PAN only the firewall from the Deck or the sleaze too? (Then I would prefer to take a Cyberdeck as an RCC)
On which page can I find the prize for Autosoft?
If i have a crash (p.201) with my Roadmaster, i realy take 18 damage? Why? The same crash with a Dodge Scoot only take 4 damage.

autosoft prices weren't included (fuck knows why?!) but they are in a "hot patch" on the general discussion board.
it goes with rating x 500NY for cost and avail is rating x2

There's been a question on the damage of crashing so we'll see if anything happens. But crashing seems to be similar to ramming. A GM might be able to houserule something based on the ramming rules.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

Rule as written is that the damage is based on the Bod of the crashing vehicle.

My house rule patch is that Crashing damage is bod or barrier rating of the thing being crashed into + Speed rating of the crashing vehicle - Bod of the crashing vehicle.

Barrier rating + speed rating sounds good, thx.  But not minus the body. I know my shadowrun group. They would calculate to drive against a wall without damage.
And my last question. Have all device in a PAN only the firewall? Or the sleaze rating too?

Slaved devices may use the master's firewall and the owner's attributes to defend. Not Sleaze.

Not sure why you'd even want to though. Your rolls to hide include everything on your PAN as far as I know, and most devices can't make matrix actions on their own.

This is not what the book says at all. At page 233, under PANs and WANs, the book states that "Whenever a slaved device is called on to make a defense test, it uses either its own or its master’s rating for each rating in the test."

Strictly by RAW you can use any of the deck's attributes in defensive rolls, including Sleaze against Matrix Perception and Trace Icon (Even Attack can be used in defensive rolls against Jack Out if you somehow manage to link-lock your opponent).

This is what make me confused.
Is a roll against Matrix Perception / Trace Icon really a defense test?   Or only tests against Matrix Damage?

Anything you do to oppose an enemy action is a defense test, I'm quite sure. Stealt versus perception? Defense test.

So my drones have sleaze, if i control them with a cyberdeck.  Why i should control them with a RCC?

Noise reduction, autosoft sharing and cost.

Your drones can run 1 autosoft each if you don't run them through an RCC, have fun with that.
