Drones use the Mods as found in vehicles but any drone smaller then Size 1 reduce cost by ½ for most specialized systems. Drone aircraft use the basics for helicoper (call rotor), jet, prop and VTOL systems but halve the base top speed and the Speed increase of each additional 'Mod'. Other drone movement are treated as 'walking' with a basic Pace as follows - Hover 8, Tracked 4, Watercraft 6 (and Amphibious and Sumersables as normal, half or one-quarter).
