I think cyberlimbs are better now than any other edition. Unless you get cyber torso, cyberarms aren't super- powered your still much better off getting muscle augment and toner. And someone with 3 or more cyberlimbs usually will never be as fast as a street sam who doesn't go for limb replacements. so there is a trade off It's balanced enough that even my min maxing players usually avoid cyberlimbs.

Keep the cyber-arm if you want it, don't let anyone tell you what you must have or what you can't have. In fact get 2! it's your character. If every rigger is the same, that's no fun.
Agreed. I DO always keep this in mind. But, I am also asking for advice, and considering all ideas. I'm not neccessarily trying to min/max, but I DO want to effective, without wasting time learning the hard way. I much prefer letting other people screw up, and then take lesson of what NOT to do. but, yeah, final decisions are mine.
You don't have to have every gadget imaginable on your drones, might be better to add a few more points into contacts so you can get what you need easier depending on the mission.
I realize that, but then again, *I* am a sucker for gadget porn, And since I'm playing a character with robo-pets, I'm gonna play him along those lines too, within reason.
There are currently no rules for firing 2 weapons at once on drones/vehicles I just made up my own and say a +1 to damage and to hit, when using 2 weapons at once for drones/vehicles.
Well, if the drone can only fire one weapon at a time, then I might as well lose the second gun on the doberman( wonder why the pregen has it built that way, kind of a waste)

Load different ammo in each gun and determine which gun you use by situation :)
