I used the drones that are found in the SR4A p. 101 and made the mistake of considering uograding them once I got some cash. The problem I am having in figuring out the the slots taken up by the Doberman and rotodrone weapon mounts.
Taken for granted as both are medium sized drones with a body of less than 4 they would have 4 slots (AR p. 129). 

Since both drones have an LMG or small weapon mounted a normal size mount would work for both.

The Doberman from the pics I have seen should have a normal size (1 slot), external visibility (0), turret flexibility (+3), that can be remotely operated only (0) or 4 slots used of the drones total of 4 slots. So just having the mount takes up all its available slots? It says in its description it comes with a weapon mount does this mean it isn't counted against its slot total?

Now the rotodrone is a similar problem with a normal size (1), internal visibility (1), flexible flexibility (1), and remote operation only (0) or 3 slots. So only 1 slot left?

Thanks for your help guys.

Stock equipment does not consume modification slots.

If a vehicle or drone is listed as having a stock weapon mount or any other vehicle option, it still has a full set of mod slots on top of that, the stock equipment is just "free".

Or, better described, incorporated into the design to begin with and is not "Bolt-On Aftermarket Parts".  ;D
