Told you I was listmember.eternal.newbie... So the rigger and his two
drones could only have three other companions on the run: this doesn't
seem worth it. Drones add no skills, and are only average as far as
'muscle' goes (given, superior to most deckers, and Spirits are by far
better than most mages, but...) Not to mention it's a chokepoint --
take out the rigger and the drones poof too. So what's the upshot?

Can drones get gear.weapons cards? That'd be one slight way to pump
them up.. I'd love to see a Microskimmer with a Mag-5!

Well, I asked for a spanner and got a wrench. *Sigh* What can I do
with inadequate tools! ;)
