In SR5 they got quite a boost. You can do a lot with them, mainly because the rig lowers most of the relevant thresholds, so all the super action movie stunts are, like, threshold 1 for a rigger, and threshold 4-5 for everyone else.

I think the difference is still really significant when it comes to actually piloting a vehicle. Extra dice for almost all of your vehicle tests is good (that includes gunnery and other stuff, IIRC), the main benefit is reducing the Vehicle Test Thresholds, IMO. Each one point threshold reduction basically equates to three extra dice in your dice pool. It can turn incredibly difficult maneuvers into relatively simple things.

ETA: I'm going to do a quick circuit of the area in the astral, going as far as the car, to try to spot any Awakened threats that might give us problems if we need to run. I will be flying to avoid any contact with dual-natured threats.

The timelines were a little janky. I doubt Error and those kids would have gone straight to the pit. They probably would have either hung out at Pugger's for a while before leaving or gone somewhere else first. I would guess (hope?) Error and the first arrivals would start showing up around 9PM or so in order to give the beer some time to ice.

yeah, it seemed to me that Error and the kids left the joint around 6-7ish. I assumed they were going to hit more bars and pound brews until 9ish.

Not a big deal, but Bookworm is female.

That one was intentional - Error is a bit inebriated. I can change it, if you like =)

EDIT
Although, to be honest, your forum avatar has thrown me off quite a few times and I had to fix posts here and there))).

Sorry! Keep it, that's hilarious. Yeah, I'm pretty agnostic as far as character gender.

I bet you've seen that before, but there was an awesome strip about it in the Dork Tower a long time ago. Hope you like it =))

Sadly, I have never managed to roleplay a female character properly.

Just a head's up, I'm probably going to be out-of-pocket for the rest of today and most of this weekend. I will probably be able to post late at night and early in the AM. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
