You can fit some damn heavy kit on a large drone, im sure they can atleast handle a dwarf

[Dead Monky]

Oh lord, I can see it now.  Some dwarf hovering around, shooting at people while hanging by a bunch of lanyards suspended under a rotor drone.  He'd probably win every fight he got in because the enemy would be too busy laughing at him to shoot back.

I'd moved on from the rotodrones, back to large drones monkey

That's not as bad as one character idea that was pitched to me once...a troll rigger who used two "supercharged" crawler drones like rollerblades.

Did he have a tiny tank top, miniskirt, and pigtails?

Crap.  Well fine.  Just ride around on top of the thing.  Equally lame, almost as funny.

This was a rules discussion, not one about how it'd look.

[FastJack]

You'll have to excuse Monky. He runs down in LA a lot and has to worry about his P2.0 rep.

Lighten up, man.   

Have a cookie.

[FastJack]

That's not one of your "special*" cookies, is it?






*special as in exploding.

[Dead Monky]

Nah.  That one's perfectly safe.  For a jpg.

Standard Mods can go on Large drones and I cant find anything ruling it out in Arsenal.
My GMs against it for my Mage-Rigger so its not gonna happen but I wanted to seewhat you guys think/have done before.

SR4A, page 244,

"Drones (and only drones) are incapable of carrying passengers..."


I haven't found anything to contradict/supplement that, so I'd say it's not permissible by RAW.  (Edit to correct page number)

I vould use this rule without any exceptions. Drones aint have any free space inside of them. they are build to have not. They are just steel, electronics, weapons, ammo storage and propulsion system. You maybe should mount the seat on the top of it and use steel lynx as a horse, but else I see i aint work...

Lynx with Rigger cocoon will looks like...it has a tumour...and that should really mess up ballistic profile etc.

Tachicomas were intentionaly built as an APC...

[KarmaInferno]

Tachikomas look more or less like a Steel Lynx with a pod stuck to it.

A Steel Lynx with a rigger cocoon will look like, hey, it's got a pod stuck to it.

In SRM I run a anthroform drone with a rigger cocoon in it, but I only justify it because it's a rigger cocoon for a pixie, so it's small enough to fit in a glove compartment.

I will say, honestly, though that if I was re-writing the rules I'd make some modifications cost multiple mod slots, and bring back weights and carrying capacities. The current mod rules are a little TOO abstract for my tastes.

You know, as a GM, there is no part of this sentence that doesn't give me twitch, including the grammar.

Just saying.   

[KarmaInferno]

Yeah, on re-reading, it is badly worded.

The character was born purely because I'd been playing a rash of "dark grim spec ops serious grim dark" characters, and wanted something firmly in pink mohawk territory.

And the character does, in fact, have a pink mohawk.
