The Milspec Tech supplement has some nice (and affordable) combat drones.

Syratos can have reinforced mounts? I was under tge impression there was a body minimum... Also, a nearly supersonic craft... Well suit yourself. I lament the absence of heavy support though

Think I'm going to just keep what I have I looked at the drones and there are some decent options but honestly there not really any cheaper than what I have. The problem isn't drone cost its accessories and weapon costs.

Right now my Berret does 9P damage with -10 AP vs vehicles, the only way I can do better than that is by spending more than 50K on a main weapon or going above 18 availability and still spending 20K a weapon not to mention my sniper rifle is silenced, rockets and tank guns are far from it.

Theoretically I could drop my GMC Van and get a ridiculous gun and a drone for it but if I do that how do I get the large drone to the runs its sure not going to fit on my small car.

I have no idea how you guys can figure out how to spend all that nuyen.

The nuyen goes fast, I got the absolute max for this game (or close to it, can't remember for sure, been done a while), and 500k goes pretty quick.

Actually, I only spent a little under 300k, but no initiative enhancers were needed, and type o means I only needed to pay for standard fare. I could spend more, but I don't need to

I used BP to get 325K nuyen, and spent all but 1220 of it. Included in this is 140K worth of foci, a commlink with 6s in all matrix attributes, programs, Black IC loaded, three fake IDs with associated licenses (ratings 6, 4, and 1), some more sensors, several different outfits, and four lifestyles. Plus a lot of extra goodies.

I would be wary of rating 6 sins. When something is so foolproof and real, it becomes damned hard to burn. I invested in two, a 4 and a 2, but took genewiped to prevent them from being turned criminal or linked to my person. That secures my penthouse against seizure fairly well, and leaves my gm-supplied safehouse for emergency (along with a few grand out of my starter cash)

Gear in massive amounts overwhelms me, hence you've all probably gotten things I should have and don't even know I need.  :P

I may add a few things as well, come to think of it. Maybe knock two points off pistols for automatics or blades... I default at 9 dice though, so not a big deal

Doh...I read the character gen thread as 50BPs max on resources, not 100BPs!!!  Ah well, perhaps I'm not as strapped for cash as I thought...<goes off to have a little rethink  :-\>

I'm still shocked that there is no combat monster. Like a full auto rocket launcher dual wielding troll. I expected more min maxing and having to rely on others for things outside your specialization but it seems things will work pretty fine without that. You all seem to have decent dice pools for combat situations and other things so as long as no one pulls a Leroy Jenkins it should be fine.

On that note I don't even know where to begin classifying people...so I'm going to stop.

Hey! I am a combat monster. I can kill the opposition in so very many different ways (including some ability to fry their brain in the Matrix--crap, nevermind that last one I forgot Black Hammer.  :'( ).
