控制无人机有三种方式来控制无人机、载具或其他设备。你可以用简单的语言向它发送指令,让它的自驾程序去执行;指令通常是通过矩阵发送,但也可以是口头的,或通过手势信号等。你也可以使用指令程序直接控制设备,覆盖它的自驾程序,通过遥控来移动它。你也可以使用VR来跳入,这使你可以通过拟感和直接与你的感官和运动皮层的直接沟通来“成为”设备。
发布指令你使用发布指令的动作(第245页)向无人机或其他设备发出简短指令。无人机会尝试在自己的动作阶段自主执行这些指令。你需要能够与无人机通信,例如通过矩阵,但不需要订阅无人机。
作为一般情况下的规则,GM可以假设无人机复杂的机械大脑能够理解向它发出的任何指令,只要这些指令是在设备的通常功能范围内的。例如,一架MCT-尼桑·旋翼无人机可以理解关于飞行路线、追踪目标、使用传感器等指令。然而,如果被指令将歹徒从摩托车上撞下来或阻止横冲直撞的精魂,自驾程序很可能就无法理解了。自驾程序是计算机程序,所以他们的指令是字面上的--有时是太字面上了。如果GM觉得某条指令属于灰色地带或者太过复杂,他可以为自驾程序秘密地进行自驾+响应能力检定,查看它对指令的理解程度,并根据对应的难度水平设定阈值。
自动软件可以用来扩展无人机的“功能”定义,即它能理解哪些指令。例如,一架焊接无人机通常会对使用其焊枪攻击目标的指令感到困惑,但同样的无人机在运行瞄准(焊枪)程序时,对指令的理解则不会产生问题。

Issuing Commands
You give a short command to the drone or other device with the Issuing Command action (p. 245). The drone attempts to execute those orders autonomously on its own action phase. You need to be able to communicate with the drone, via the Matrix for example, but do not need to be subscribed to the drone.
As a general rule, the gamemaster can assume that the sophisticated robotic brain of a drone understands any commands that are issued to it, as long as these commands are within the device’s usual range of function. An MCT-Nissan Roto-drone, for example, will understand commands regarding flight paths, tracking targets, using sensors, and so forth. If ordered to bump a ganger off his motorbike or stop a rampaging spirit, however, the Pilot will likely fail to understand. Pilots are computer programs, and so take their commands literally—sometimes too literally. If the gamemaster feels that a command falls within a gray area or is simply too convoluted, he can roll a secret Pilot + Response Test for the Pilot to see how well it comprehends the order, basing the threshold on an appropriate difficulty level.
An autosoft can be used to expand the definition of a drone’s "function" in terms of what commands it can understand. For example, a welding drone would normally be confused by orders to use its torch to attack a target, but the same drone running a Targeting (Welding Torch) program would have no trouble comprehending the command.
遥控设备你通过运行指令程序来控制设备。你一次只能控制一架无人机,而且必须对该无人机的活跃订阅。对于你使用的任何动作,你用你的指令程序等级来代替骰池中的属性(侦察检定除外,它用无人机的传感器等级来代替你的侦察)。
当使用这种方法时,你使用一套存在于AR或VR(视情况而定)的“控制装置”。这种控制方法是矩阵动作。控制无人机是一个复杂动作,即使无人机正在执行一个简单动作,如发射半自动武器或使用瞄准动作。
除非已经在为机师执行正在进行的动作,否则遥控无人机只有在收到指令时才会行动。(即在机师的动作阶段)。
跳入你通过全沉浸VR“跳入”无人机。这需要订阅无人机、载具或设备,并需要花费一个简单动作。当跳入时,机师本质上“成为”了无人机,就像操控他自己的身体一样通过其传感器感知并操控它。跳入无人机的机师可以向其他无人机发出指令,但不能遥控它们。
以这种方式控制的无人机按照机师的主动性行动,机师和无人机被视为一个整体。任何检定都使用机师的技能和无人机的属性(用响应能力代替敏捷和反应,用传感器等级代替直觉)。
热模为机师带来的优势与黑客相同。跳入无人机(或其他设备)的机师的所有动作都被认为是矩阵动作,并因使用热模VR而获得+2奖励。这种优势是双向的:当跳入驾驶的无人机受到伤害时,使用热模的机师也会通过他的运动皮层受到生物反馈伤害。在热模中,每次无人机受到伤害时,机师也必须用意志+生物反馈过滤器检定来抵抗一半的眩晕伤害(向上取整);如果无人机被摧毁,机师就会从矩阵中被甩出去(和弹出时一致),并立即受到甩致休克的影响(第237页)。

JUMPING IN
You “jump into” a drone via full VR. This requires a subscription to the drone, vehicle, or device and takes a Simple Action. When jumped in, the rigger essentially "becomes" the drone, perceiving through its sensors and operating it as if it were his own body. A rigger who has jumped into a drone can issue commands to other drones, but cannot control them remotely.
A drone controlled in this manner acts on the rigger’s Initiative the rigger and the drone are treated as a single unit. Any tests are made using the rigger’s skills and the drone’s attributes (substituting Response for Agility and Reaction and Sensor for Intuition).
Hot sim benefits the rigger as much as the hacker. All actions by a rigger who has jumped into a drone (or other device) are considered Matrix actions, and receive the benefit of the +2 bonus due to hot sim VR use. This advantage cuts both ways: when a jump-piloted drone takes damage, the rigger operating with hot sim also suffers biofeedback through his motor cortex. In hot sim, each time the drone suffers damage, the rigger must also resist half that amount (round up) in Stun damage with a Willpower + Biofeedback Filter Test; if the drone is destroyed, the rigger is dumped from the Matrix (as with jacking out) and immediately suffers the effects of dumpshock (p. 237).
操控安保系统和其他设备非无人机,如摄像头、磁锁门、绊索、枪械平台或传感器等安保设备,也可以安装机师适配界面。这允许机师跳入设备,像控制无人机一样控制它们。在许多建筑物中,所有的安保设备都被订阅到一个中央节点上,在这个节点上,蜘蛛可以跳入整个安保系统。安保机师们感觉门的打开就像光线接触到他们的皮肤,警报传感器的启动是他们手指上的嗡嗡声或一阵瘙痒,而大楼的警报则正如字面意义上地在他们的脑海中响起。
化身机械
当你跳入无人机时,你就变成了无人机。你用无人机的传感器观察,并随着它的身体移动。你能感觉到道路在你脚下蜿蜒,空气在你身边呼啸。你的平衡感和优雅被应用到无人机上,你们一起成为比人和机器的融合更伟大的东西。
在热模中,这种体验甚至更加强烈。通常被转化为视觉或听觉的数据变成了本能和直观的感受。你的每一个想法都会转换给无人机,使你——无人机具有无可比拟的精确度。在热模跳入控制下的无人机被描述为流畅的,甚至是富有表现力的。
任何人都可以使用VR来跳入无人机。拟感模块可以将对应的信息传达给用户的大脑,但处于跳入状态是一个复杂的问题。感知输入很容易翻译,但机器必须解译运动和定位信号,并将它们应用到已经与生物身体进行了终生练习的运动皮层上。因此,中控器的效率要高得多,这反映在机师在跳入设备时做任何事都会得到+2的奖励。
