There have been a few notices posted about the posibility of a
vehicle design system for SR2. Does anyone know where it can be
FTP'd from?

Riggers Black Book.
-------------------

A lot of my riggers want to build their own vehicles, and to
this end have been reverse enginering those given in RBB and
SR2. Or at least they have been trying! There would appear to
be no continuity between entries, in relation to engine, size
power, and handeling. Have FASA just been plucking numbers out
of the air or is the reasoning behind this a good one?

If there is no continuity here, then the continuity in the
Drones section is decidley less. A snooper has a standard
sensor suit, and takes up 1CF of storage. But a standard sensor
suit takes up 2CF of storage, according to the Upgrading
Vehicles section.

Has anyone got a _sensible_ angle on what I can do?

Obi Wan:
In the sensors section of the Black Book it does say that you can pay to have
stuff of reduced size, though I think that this is only for Sensors, ECM and
ECCM.

What annoys me is that getting a vehicle rigged takes so much space. From
memory you can't rig most motorbikes using the rules. If the autopilot is
already there, then the control systems are in place. Is there something that I
have missed ?
