Not a walker _drone_, a walker _vehicle_ with a pilot inside. Sort of like
an AT-AT, AT-ST, or BattleMech but smaller. The difference between a suit
of powered armor and such a vehicle is very small, I feel. Perhaps the
best way of separating the two would be to call vehicles the pilot/wearer
stands in "powered armor," and ones where the pilot can sit down
"walkers."

Naturally it should be expensive, we don't want players running around in
them, do we? :)
