[SR5] Rigging Rules Summary

Anything with a pipe | means "or".
Anything in curly braces {{{ }}} is a house rule.

*Rigging (p. 264)

• Control rig augmentation connects to cerebrum, brain stem...
• built in sim module that can Direct Neural Interface other devices
• Universal Data connector and cable (basically a datajack)
• Control type (highest to lowest priority);
• Rigger control
• Remote control
• Manual Control
• Autopilot
• Receiving contradicting commands at the same level before an action results in no action
• Noise
• Wireless has Noise Penalty (p. 230)
• Direct connections have no noise
• "Jump in" rules
• You can only jump into a device that has the Rigger Interface (p.461, $1000)
• You can only be in VR when jumped in (p. 241 "Jump Into Rigged Device")
• Method of jumping
• If you are already in AR, it's a Complex Action
• If you already in VR, it's a simple action
• Direct connection is simple action
• To jump into another rigged device while already in VR, you can use "Jump Into Rigged Device" (Simple Action) if it's slaved (p. 266)
•  If it's not slaved, you have to jump out and back in again
• To jump out, use the "Switch Interface Mode" (Simple Action) to go back to VR or AR
• Vehicle actions as Matrix actions (any matrix bonus applies to Vehicle actions such as Control, Gunnery, Sensor)
• All vehicle LIMITS are increased by the rating of your control rig (e.g. Sensor, Speed, Handling, Accuracy [only when fired by rigger])
• Includes vehicle/drone sensor, speed, handling, weapon accuracy
• Cold-sim initiative = initiative + 2d6
• Hot-sim initiative = initiative + 3d6 (note that the only benefit to hot-sim is the initiative bonus)
• Hot-sim also gives +2 to all Matrix tests (p.230)
• Biofeedback damage is Physical, not Stun
• protects the drone from direct matrix attack (they see and must attack your persona instead)
• Physical damage to the drone (while jumped in)
• You must resist half the damage taken (round up as usual) as Biofeedback (p. 229)
• Stun if cold-sim, Physical if hot-sim
• Resist using Willpower + Firewall
• Remote Control (p. 238 "Control Device")
• Action time is equivalent to the time it would take you to perform the action
• All actions use either the normal limit for the action (e.g. accuracy) or your Data Processing rating, whichever is lower
• If there is no similar action to what you want to do, use:
• Electronic Warfare + Intuition[Sleaze] vs. Intuition + Firewall
• If you are issuing the same order to all or some of the devices, you are not penalized
• If you are doing differnt actions you must split your dice pool into # of groups = # of devices you want to control with a single action
• Whenever you use your Sleaze as a limit it counts as a Sleaze action (e.g. Overwatch, reverse mark on failure)
• Minimum marks to perform an action:
• Free = 1
• Simple = 2
• Standard/Complex = 3
• Rigger Command Console (RCC) (p. 266)
• analagous to a cyberdeck
• primarily used to create a Personal Area Network (PAN) to master-slave drones
• Data Processing used for VR initiative and is the Command test Limit on the RCC
• Can be used to reduce Noise and/or improve "Sharing"
• Set when you boot the RCC. Noise + Sharing cannot exceed Device Rating
• Noise is a straight reduction (this applies even to non-slaved drones)
• Sharing is the # of simultaneous autosofts that can run on slaved drones
• Drones running their own autosofts cannot use any RCC autosofts
• The autosofts are running on ALL drones simultaneously, excluding above
• Values can be changed while running using the Change Device Mode action (p.163)
• Firewall used to protect against all attacks on the slaved drone network
• Can give a command to one, some, or all of your slaved drones with a Simple action
• Can jump from one slaved drone to another without "jumping out" first
• Commands issued are acted on the drone's turn, not the rigger's
• Can slave up to (Device Rating x 3) drones
• PAN:
• When slaved device forced to make a defense test, it can use either its rating or its master's rating
• Thus against a Brute Force attack you could use your (Willpower + RCC Firewall), instead of (Drone Device Rating x 2)
• If an attacker gets a mark on a slave, they get a mark on the RCC
• RCC cannot help defend against a direct connection
• WAN:
• All drones have zero noise regardless of distance
• Requires devices to be slaved to a host
• Drones
• Device Rating = Pilot Rating
• Device Rating is used whenever mental attribute needed
• Drones are considered "devices" in the Matrix
• When issued a "novel, unexpected or a complicated command" (and no one is jumped in) must roll DR x 2
• One hit means that it performs the command
• else does nothing
• Perception = Pilot + Clearsight[Sensor]
• Infiltration 
• (Autonomous) Pilot + Stealth [Handling] vs. Perception + Intuition [Mental]
• (Jumped in) Intuition + Stealth [Handling] vs. Perception + Intuition [Mental]
• Initiative
• Autonomous: (Pilot x 2) + 4D6
• Jumped in: Rigger's VR initiative
• Have both Physical and Matrix damage tracks. Filling up either one renders the drone inoperable.
• Attacking
• When autonomous: Pilot + (Weapon Targeting Autosoft)[Weapon Accuracy]
• When jumped in: Gunnery + Agility[Weapon Accuracy + Control Rig Rating] (p. 238)
• Note that the control rig is not the same as the RCC
• Drones must have an autosoft for their wielded weapon to attack. (p. 183)
• Defending
• Tests
• Standard defense test: Pilot + {{{Maneuvering_autosoft}}}[Handling]
• Full defense test: Pilot + {{{Maneuvering_autosoft}}} + (Pilot|RCC Rating)[Handling]
• Pilot takes the place of Reaction (p.199)
• Drones roll their Pilot + Autosoft [Handling]" does not specify the autosoft p. 205
• Resisting Damage
• Test is Body + Armor (minus AP) as normal
• Physical Condition Monitor = 6 + (Body / 2)
• Matrix Condition Monitor = 8 + (Pilot / 2)       {p. 228 Matrix Damage}
• If modified physical DV is < modified armor, attack deals no damage
• Ignore stun damage
• Do not suffer wound modifiers
• Recoil
• Recoil compensation = drone Body + any built-in weapon RC
• Vehicle and Drone mounted weapons have the advantage of a sturdy platform from which to fire." p. 176
• Can hold (autosofts|cyberprograms) up to DR / 2 (round up as usual)
• Swapping an autosoft or cyberprogram is a Complex Matrix Action
• Autosofts have a device rating from 1-6
• Availability = DR * 2, Cost = DR * 500 [this is from the errata]
• Clearsight, Electronic Warfare, Evasion, Maneuvering, Stealth, Targeting are the only autosofts
• Cyberprograms are still capped to one of the same type per RCC
• p.269 Rigger-specific Cyberprograms
• Autosofts are skill improvements, cyberprograms are like passive buffs
• Repairing Drones
• Rules-as-written (from Run & Gun p.143, incl. errata fix):
• 2% per physical box repaired in materials
• Labor cost is (Skill Rating * hours spent * 10)¥
• Extended test (Automotive|Aeronautic) Mechanic + Logic[Mental] (12/18/24 depending on difficulty, 1 hour)
• {{{My house rules to allow drones to be recovered past "death"}}}
• 2% per box in materials
• 10% per overflow box in materials
• Small drones can only be recovered from overflow equal to their BOD, larger drones BOD * 2
• Labor cost is (Skill Rating * hours spent * 10)¥
• Extended test (Automotive|Aeronautic) Mechanic + Logic[Mental] (12/18/24 depending on difficulty, 1 hour)
• Specific Drone Rules
• {{{MCT Fly-Spy gets -2 to attempts to detect it}}}
• {{{Ares Duelist attacks with Agility+Blades[accuracy]}}}

There is also a PDF file of rules made by Automaton that has nearly the same rules as what I've listed above, but in a different format.
