But as a side note: If Wakshani said, the speed modifier is not applied anymore (don't know what he said, just understand it this way out of your statement) then we shouldn't use his drone table either, right? Because it also wasn't printed by the people in charge. In this case we shouldn't use anything of the freelancer's words in total.
The speed modifier to chance to hit is in the printed vehicle rules in the last chapter of Rigger 5.0, so I'd take it as gospel.

And I'm not saying to discount freelancer's words. Just when the freelancer says, "I suggested these changes" in the development process and those changes weren't applied, to me that heavily implies that his suggestion was deemed not to be the way the designers want. If you're looking for clarification on how a certain rule works, the freelancer is totally the right person to go to.

Drop Clearsight and take Electronic Warfare instead. When using sensor arrays, you can use Electronic Warfare in place of Perception in Perception checks. Drones always use sensor arrays, so this is usually better because Electronic Warfare can do more.

Where is this...i missed this completely? :)

Because it's not in any of the logical places. It's in the Street Gear chapter on p 445 of the Core Rules and is as follows:

Quote
When you use the sensor array for Perception Tests, you may use your Electronic Warfare skill in place of your Perception skill, and you may use the sensor’s Rating as your limit.

Been digging the riggers lately, and thought it would be cool to make a 'transporter' character... driving and high unarmed combat.  Not optimized, but sounds fun!

As long as you take Gunnery for the concealed turreted weapon that your vehicle sports.

The Hyundai (in my case, the BMW GT400) has the specialization of "4 Body Modification Slots". Do you know if this is counting like he has a body of 10+4 for every of the 6 categories (i.e. Power Train, Protection, etc.), or do you "only" have 4 more points you can spread between the 6 categories?

Hyundai Shin-Hyung: Four extra Body Modification Slots
Neither... You get 4 points for the "Body" category, which means no extra armor as that is the Protection category.
