<DATA CORRUPT: 1.24MP LOST>

}
} Anyway my problem (our problem) is the sentence under "Remote Turrets"
}that sez that a remote turret counts as another drone as far as the
}"control limit" of the rigger is concerned. I figure that the control
}limit is the number of ports the remote control deck has, but isnt
}wiring a turret on your own car through a remote control deck stupid ?
}
Lets throw another spanner in the works. What if the drone has
two independently mounted weapons ? Does that mean that the rigger
has to add two to his limit instead of one ? Personal opinion
cropping up, and I hereby stand to correction. ie I've never played a
rigger before.

From what I understand the control deck has a number of ports.
That is the limit of the number of drones that a rigger can have
active at one time. Each vehical takes up a single port. Each weapon
point after the body of the vehical counts as an extra 0.25 (round
up). So
taking a munckin example, Joe-Drives-Like-A-Maniac has his little 'ol
beat up Ford what ever (Body 2). He can have up to 2 weapons points
connected to it and take up only a single port. To attach another
weapon requires the use of anther port and hence Joe can have 6
weapons attached to the Ford with use of two ports.

There is however an alternative, there could be ports available (at
extra cost) that can handle more channels (read: weapons). Or even
the rigger could shunt weapon control to weapons that was ment for
other functions (less important) of the vehical.
