Yeah.  Wicked, isn't it?

Deliciously wicked. My friend's rigger is going to drool when he sees this.

I was trying to figure out what sensors would be good on the fly-spy, especially for using clearsight.

Actually just discovered (in Running Wild) what may well be the best version of this out there -- the Smart-Connect Swarm bio-drone.  Its signal rating is equal to the group rating plus six, and if the two devices are each in range of the biodrone, they're considered in range of each other.  12,500¥ per level of rating ... automatic Signal of 7.  Co-op with your rigger on that one...

You forgot to mention that they only have the lifespan of 2 months, so if you're always keeping a rating 1 sensor swarm you're paying 6,250 nuyen each month.

... even without it MCT is microdrone so it gives -6 for signature tests.
The MCT FlY-Spy is a Minidrone. That gives it a Body of 1 and concealment of -2. Also means that Chameleon coating is only 1k.

I was thinking about outfitting mine with a Retrans to use as an in between for hacking devices with signal rating of 0-2, like a smartgun system or cyberlimbs.

The fact that the flying eye from Spy Games is not only cheaper, but a micro drone instead of a minidrone makes it so much better than the flyspy that the flyspy might as well have an obsolescent tag on it.
