Title: protect drones from electricity
Post by: mistrornge on <11-27-11/2111:25>

Any methods of reducing the effect of electrical attack on drones? Perhaps a method to ground the attack or adding non-conductivity to reduce the damage.
Got a drone hit with a lightning bolt tonight which took it out for 8 turns :(

Check Arsenal. I believe there's a vehicle mod that allows you to add nonconductivity or other mods to vehicle armor.

Found it. Electromagnetic Shielding. Though from reading it you would probably have to shut down the drone go into turtle mode and do little except protect it from the attacks. Seems very limiting.
Not something a rotodrone would be able to do with complete shut down.

Non-conductive Armor is also available, adding dice to resist electrical attacks.

I know of the non-conductive armor for PCs but wasn't aware it can be used on drones. I did a word search non-conductive in Arsenal but didn't find it. Main Rulebook somewhere?

Special Armor Modification, Arsenal pg 144.
