OK, here are some questions that came up during a session regarding Drones
and Weapon mounted on them.

A: How far into a building can the Sensors of a Drone/Vehicle actually take
data from? The question occured when the Rigger (me) tried to locate from
the outside any possible opposition inside a building, but the GM told me
that my Sensor feed does not go through solid objects like Plasticsteel, so
I had now data at all. And I ran a Sensorsweep with a Rating 4 Sensor array
boosted to something around 25 km for Range (I realy wanted to get that
info) and got more 6's than ever before (3 to be exact).

B: What can you do when your Assault Rifle mounted on the mini Turret of
your Drone runs out of ammo? Is a clipchanger already figured inside the
weapons integration kit or does a Rigger need to have some buddy open up
the drone, take the magazine out, insert a new magazine close the drone and
pray that all that time no one comes and shoots anybody? How is it worked
out ruleswise, I have not found anything.

C: Into the same breach, how is it when your Weapon has a Jam during the
move (enough 1's to last for two runs), is there a possibility that the Jam
can be "repaired" without having the Drone to come back and roll some
weapon B/R rolls. What about the Weapons integration kit, does that help in
any way or would that be another modification not yet mentioned by the
Rigger 2 (or maybe mentioned I havent found it).

D: On something completly different, how long is the effect of the flashpak
actually in effect? I mean how long is someone blinded, I remember that I
have read something like that somewere but I can't remeber where. If anyone
can point me some directions I would be most pleasured.
