Drive-by-wire systems substitute advanced computercontrolled maneuvering systems for standard mechanical or basic electronic steering controls. Drive·by-wire systems are available at levels 1, 2 and 3. Each level of drive-by-wire reduces a vehicle's Handling by 1. Additionally, the System reduces the vehicle's overall weight and provides a one-time increase to the vehicle's Acceleration, Speed and load ratings.
To calculate the one-time increase, multiply the desired raring by 10 percent, if desired, the bonus can be split among two or three ratings. For example, the player may increase the Acceleration, Speed and Load ratings by the following amounts: Acceleration rating x 3 percent, Speed rating x 3 percent and Load rating x 4 percent. Or the player may increase the acceleration rating by 6 percent, and the Speed rating by 4 percent.
The multiplier increase is nor cumulative per level of drive-by-wire. A vehicle with a Rating 3 drive-by-wire system receives the same .10 multiplier as a vehicle with Rating 1 drive-by-wire system.
To install a drive-by-wire system as a vehicle customization, the rigger or mechanic must make three seperate successful tests (see below). Successes from all three tests may be used to reduce the base time for the modification.
