Wow thanks!
Here is question: Do I really get an RCC, despite spending all my time as a Persona on my cyberdeck? I don't think I can use the RCC while hotsimming VR through the Cyberdeck, no?
As for skills needed, I don't plan to ever actually remote control the drones as I lack those skills. I'd be relying on their pilots and autosofts to mess my pursuers up while I book it.
Also, 200 grenades? Is that a stock that the GM and player agree will be slowly pulled from or is there a way that a rotodrone actually holds that much?
RCC is just helpful because you can run autosofts for multiple drones without having to pick up multiple copies of the autosoft. Correct though, you cannot use it while using a deck. If you want, just take each Autosoft's cost (3,000 nuyen for a Rating 6) and install it on each drone. If you do that, you can drop the Clearsight and Electronic Warfare Autosofts, in which case you take only the specific targeting autosoft for which weapon it's running. It just means that you have to spend an extra 3,000 nuyen per drone.
200 Grenades is not all loaded in the drone. That's a stock that you have, but I listed it with the drone because that's the drone that will be using it. It's the same with the ammo. Not all of it will always be loaded. Just like with your meat body, you buy excess. If you want, you can drop the number of grenades and ammunition.
The RCC is part of what allows you to control multiple drones simultaneously, from what I understand of the chapter. It also provides better protection for your drones; an RCC can handle up to Device Rating x 3 drones slaved up to it, while I'm not sure how many a commlink or 'deck can have. In addition, RCCs let you choose the better of your stats or the drones for defense tests; the example used is your Willpower instead of its Device Rating, if the former is higher.
This is the main function of the RCC. It allows you to load autosofts to run onto multiple drones at once, and it allows you to command multiple drones (if you give them all the same commands) with one Simple action. Also, RCCs can provide additional Noise Reduction, which is useful for obvious reasons.
All devices can slave Device Rating x 3, that's not the different part. The different part is that the highest device rating Deck you can get at Character Creation (although if you're hella rich you can get others after it) is only Device Rating 4. The choosing stats is also not unique to RCCs, as slaving it to a cyberdeck uses your Willpower and the Cyberdeck's Firewall rather than the drone's respective stats.
So, in conclusion, if you have a really good deck, you can just slave all your drones to it. Just remember that it is going to make each individual drone more expensive, although probably not as expensive as an RCC. You also won't be able to command multiple drones with 1 Simple Action, but otherwise it's fine.
