It doesn't say that either of them have any sort of sensor arrays, but it makes some sense that since the war pod can travel at up to Mach 2 at low altitude, that the level of NOE flying requird for that would demand at least radar. The fact that the 1-man War Pod carries minimissiles and a heavy twin PB turret would also make some sort of fire control logical,


So do they have sensors and were just left out by a print error? I can see if that was the case one of the following.

Treat them as power armor, with all the features thereof.

Treat as a robot vehicle sensor wise, like the NG Sky King jet cycle.

Just give them comms, radar, and a targeting computer, like some of the newer Coalition sky cycles.

What do people think?

I would assume the pods have at very minimum default sensors equal to power armor.

I'm leaning towards power armor level sensor suite for the Speed Pod, and Robot level sensors for the War Pod. Reasoning is the War Pod is very close to aircraft like the NG Sky King and the Coalition Sky Cycle, and both of those have robot vehicle class sensor suites. The Speed Pod, not being intended for combatcould make do with the lesser sensor suite, primarily for NOE navigation/piloting.
