I took the Small UAV Fixed Wing, which is a Body 1 drone, and made it into a
Body 0 drone instead in the shape of an arrow, and since there is no power
plant, other than my pc in question, the limit on range is as per a standard
arrow.

The guy has a strength of 10 (Muscle Aug IV) ... and so has a range of 600
meters. The speed of the arrow is 10 times the damage of the arrow (14) which
means a Speed of 140, achieved immediately after launch, and still doing arrow
damage on impact (14M).

The Accel for the drone is a 10, and my pc can make the thing come to a halt
...

As for the skill with piloting the arrows, Pilot Fixed Wing (Remote Operations
/ Arrows) ...

And the drones still have Rigger Adaption, Remote Control Interface, and
nothing else for the moment ...

As for cost ... 14,200 nuyen each ... and he has 6 of the things ... almost
gave one or two up to make some contacts ...

Though, this is still the beginning for the pc ... I have plans to add in a
Tactical Computer and Sentry Gun System onto the Bow, this way all I have to
do is pull back the arrow, and let the sentry gun system do the firing ...
which can be accomplished via a remote bow trigger my pc has in his hand.
This is only the beginning ...

Mike
