[SNIP stuff about how easy Vehicles are to destroy]

I agree, vehicles are fairly pathetic in SR. I mean, I've shot down Yellow
Jacket's with a Light Pistol, with a single shot! That's more than a
little silly, even if the Yellowjackets are just sm,all helicopters.

Hopefully Rigger 2 will clean taht up. I know they are chenging a couple
things, and body is now based on size rather than some other arbitrary
number as before (Like the Rapier and the Americar having the same Body??
and other, larger vehicles only having a point or two more? ).

I'm really looking forward to rigger 2. We have a new game going, and one
guy is playing a Rigger. i hadn;t realized just how few rules tehre were
for Rigging and how little detail there was! YucK!

You and me both, Bull. It gets significantly worse when you look at the
flaws - my favorite being the ability to put 84 Air-to-Air Missiles(or 840
unguided rockets) on an EFA Variant.

If I could paraphrase Mike at FASA, "the RBB is probably the worst
product ever released by FASA." They were ashamed of it from the
beginning, but apparently they simply let whoever is doing the
sourcebook free reign and don't check up on him/her until the product
is nearly finished. RBB2 has been a top priority for over a year.
