> Alright, heres some more clarifaction questions.

The Rigger rules definitely need to be explained better - I just bugged
Loki with more or less the same questions.

It seems to be that Roadrash can activate two of his drones (since he
has Pilot 2). While he's busy, Roadrash can't add his own attack power,
but can use any other skills as necessary (to help sleaze a Challenge).

Until they're trashed by that horkin' big Dracoform, yes.

I'd really have to say yes to this one. Remember that the rigger's the
chokepoint, and any Challenge or Stinger that takes him out takes the
drones out too.

Now, if Roadrash is fragged, are his drones fragged too? Or just
trashed?

> 4. Can I frag my drone in response to a booby-trap challenge, if the drone
> is already activated?

I'd assume so. Roadrash sends the Rotodrone to inspect the security
door and.. k-boom.

Wait for the official rulings. Whatever the answers to 2 and 3 are,
they definitely should be added to the rulebook.
