[Henzington]

The whole idea behind this guy is hack and drive.  I plan on using karma to develop his drone piloting in game.

The background of this guy is a former corp spider who loved to do demo derby/street racing on the side for fun.

There are two minor house rules that this character is using.  First the hotspur doesnt have off road suspension just a plain one which reduces the cost by 6k.  The gm allowed me to get a remote conceal and reinforced turret even though its 2 above the aviablity rating for restricted gear.

Response and Signal can only be upgraded a maximum of 2 from the base on the commlink.

How do you plan to drive? You have softmaxed Agility and Reaction (but no skills linked to either of them), control rig (but nothing else to help you rig) and (possibly?) a command program.

Response 6 eats a restricted gear, so does the HMG, and so does the turret.

[Henzington]

pilot ground craft uses reaction and gunnery uses agility

[ArkangelWinter]

Drop a point from Etiquette, IMO, and all the specializations. Theyre cheaper after character creation. Use the 10bp that frees up to pick up 2 in Pistols and 2bp of ware or contacts, or raise one of your two dumpstats to 2.

[Henzington]

the plan is to get a drone asap so i dont plan on using weapons on my meat body and my gm likes to make eqituette checks so i can get by with low cha but not low cha and no etiquette.

[All4BigGuns]

pilot ground craft uses reaction and gunnery uses agility

I believe Gunnery is a Logic based skill.

[Henzington]

core book 111 its agility for gunnery

[ArkangelWinter]

The argument for why it should be Logic is strong, but it's not.

[Henzington]

yeah i never agreed with it myself as it doesnt fit with other rigger/hacker stats but yeah maybe in 5th ed

[UmaroVI]

It's Agility-based to fire manually, and likewise Reaction-based to drive manually. That's why I was asking how you plan to do those things. Are you planning to use Command? Are you planning to Jump In? Are you planning to drive manually? If you aren't jumping in, why do you have Control Rig?

[Henzington]

the plan was to jump in for gunnery and driving but i thought the linked attributes were the same either way

[UmaroVI]

Nope, you use Response or Sensor in place of attributes for physical tests while jumped in.

[JustADude]

Nope, you use Response or Sensor in place of attributes for physical tests while jumped in.

Slightly off topic, but the drone's Body is also it's Strength as well, when such a thing is required, right?

[Henzington]

thanks i have usually always been the street sam or mage for my group

Sorta. There's a bunch of places that specify drones use strength = body for that thing, like Mechanical Arms. There isn't a general rule actually stated anywhere, though.
