I guess first question is, do remotes add orders? I've been assuming yes, thus the second question...

I'm trying to figure out Aleph Netrods with the AI beacon. The AI beacon adds an extra order, correct? Does this mean the Netrod adds two orders? One for itself and one for the AI beacon?

From what I understand, remotes that has G : Remote Presence do give 1 order but not those with G : Servant.
And as far as I can tell, a Netrod gives only 1 order.
I never played as or against Aleph so I can't confirm but it seems to be that way with the Army Builder =)

Netrods and other AI beacons (Combine has them as well - their iMetrons) give ONE order each, not one for the netrod and one for the beacon. AI beacon is a rule for the equipment, not the unit.

One netrod/iMetron = 1 order. 2 of then = 2 orders.

They MUST deploy via AD during deployment, and will probably suffer "dispersion" (scatter) due to the low PHYS stat.

Do not deploy them near the table edge! So far I've always lost one to dispersing off the table edge.
