>>>>>[ Does anyone know what the official rules for biofeedback
from vehicle damage to riggers are? We have been using a variant
rule, and I was trying to find what is official - without much
luck - but I also lack the RBB. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Yo. according to RBB (great book, btw... lacking in parts, notably
the
drawings, and also VERY confusing in parts. The not-so-great FASA edit strikes
again!), if your vehicle is destroyed while you are controlling it (they only
give rules for feedback whilst controlling drones), you have to make a
Willpower test, I believe T# of 6, to avoid a LIGHT stun. I don't know how I
would do it if you are controlling the vehicle. I think what FASA does is to
force you to make your handling check. It breaks your concentration for an
instant, possibly enough for you to lose control of your vehicle. Depending on
who's rigger-control-view you believe, the damage caused by damage to your
vehicle could be anything from a mere control check ("waitasec...the sensors
were knocked off-center") to stun damage. I personally think that all you
should have to do is make the control check. As for damage from Bughunters,
however... that is an ENTIRELY different story.]<<<<<
