Title: Help with drone
Post by: JmOz01 on <05-08-17/2050:31>
My character, the over extended Back Up would like a drone that could be used as a datatap...is this possible? preferably as small as it can be with flight.  The idea is that it would fly in and tap the line then I would be able to use my deck to hack.

Non-standard Form Factor = +2 or +3 availability, +20% cost.

If you choose a drone form factor, then you have a drone that can attach a cable tap (commlink) or induction receiver (cyberdeck).

I vaguely remember this topic coming up when Rigger 5 just came out. I believe the end result was adding a drone arm to which would attach said data tap. I'll do some scouring.

Well, I didn't find what I was looking for, but I found this little gem (http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=22971.msg423544#msg423544).

I'd expect drone arms to look kinda like pic related, but to be fairly unnecessary when you're not carrying cables around, and all you need to do is open / close the cable clip - or better still, sit on the cable.
