Subject: Even more Rigger 2 Questions (This is my last batch though)

More questions for everyone out there (hopefully Jon).

1) ECCM and ECD reduce your flux rating when in use. The ECCM description
leads me to believe that the reduction is for range purposes only. The ECD
description leads me to think that the reduction is for all purposes.
Which one is right? Or are they both meant to work differently?

2) Is it possible to use any of the MIJI techniques against a
drone/vehicle that is hardwired to a RCD? One would assume not, but it
does not say so anywhere? And if it is not possible to use MIJI against a
hardwired drone/vehicle, then why would someone get a datajack port rather
than a hardwired RCD? The RCD lets you do more, but would put you at no
more risk. You would even take less damage from having your vehicle die.

3) How does initiative work for drones when they have standing orders, but
the rigger has been dumped or is not connected to the RCD for one reason or
another. The same would apply for non-affiliated drones as well I would
imagine, as they are both left to carry out there orders with no contact or
overwatch at all.

Thanks again,

NightRain.
