So, I've been reading through the rules for the crew of vehicles, and I have a few questions.

How do you control autonomous vehicles, walkers, and robots?

Things like this,

Where there is obviously no place for a pilot, gunner, or anything else.

Through mutual respect for each other's boundaries and proper communication between both autonomous parties.

See if you can have a gunner sit on its shoulder. Otherwise, just have the controller hold a...well...controller. Device. Steering doohickey with Bluetooth.

A Supernatural Die can be used for that, but how much do those cost any way? Just a talisman for any kind of dice or do certain dice cost more...somethings?

Personally, I haven't ventured into the world of super natural dice, but I know with a creation, it has a base mind of :d6: and then you can upgrade that to a :d8: . I'm basically saying you don't need a pilot all the time

I was flipping through the rule books, and i suppose I could give it a Capable-level Mind.

An autonomous robot is just a Creature, same as minifig or horse. You just have to choose where its Mind is located and you're good to go.
