Hey gang, I'm BRAND NEW to starfinder, coming off Pathfinder. One of the players in the game I'm running is rolling a mechanic, and is adamant on having a small fleet of drones.
If he's willing to role play building all the drones, and buying/scavenging parts I don't see a real problem with it. I told him they won't have AI with any sort of sophistication, and will not have any of the class features associated with drones.
What I was planning to do was using stat blocks of pathfinder familiars for these lesser drones, and basing their CR on how much his character is willing to spend building them. I would also implement a limit on how many he can control based on either his Engineering or Computers stats.
Think this sounds fair? Any other ideas on how I should play this? Any recommendations on how much they should cost?
