Re: Best way to kill a dragon?
a very important question: Does he have the Demolitions skill?

Re: Best way to kill a dragon?
Give me a list of the stats, skills and gear of your character, along with what he knows about the dragons, and what kind of context he's expecting for the conflict (i.e., standup fight, or a bughunt? And who's the bug?)

Re: Best way to kill a dragon?
Well, if you have demolitions at high proficency, then the senario almost writes itself for you.
Lay a trap. and get the guys with big guns to lure the dragon into it.
And remember...with explosives, you don't necessarlly have to be close.

Every group has one problem player. If you cannot spot the one in your group; look in the mirror.
It is not a good session until at least one player looks you in the eye and says "you sick twisted evil ****"

Hire a bigger dragon to kill it for you.

Re: Best way to kill a dragon?
Buy a grav-pack if you don't already have access to flight of some sort. Buy 100 small (1d4x10) fusion blocks (1000cr each), a really big net and a couple hundred zip ties. Use the zip ties to attach all the blocks to the net, one at each + on the net to form a big 10 block by 10 block square at the center of the net. Rig all the blocks detonators to go off at the command of a single remote. Have your group hold the dragon's attention on the ground while you fly above the dragon, cast the net and detonate the fusion blocks right after it ensnares the dragon. Most of the fusion blocks will be in direct contact with the dragon and would do (1d4x10)x100. with an average damage of 2500 MD it may not be enough to kill it but it will sure get its attention.
Oh and it would be helpful if you could have a anti-magic cloud surrounding the dragon. Just sayin'.

Make it fall in love with you. (100% serious)
The thing is that isn't a blood thirsty fire breathing monster. Well... it may be... but that's not ALL it is. Get into its head. Work out what makes it tick.
After all you're the only member of the troupe that isn't going to look like a threat and that means you are the best shot at getting close to it.

Re: Best way to kill a dragon?
Dragons live for many, many, many years because a lot of them don't like physically fighting.... Think I was reading up on dragons in Dragons and Gods the the other day and remember reading about the mini-bubble dimensions where they can horde stuff... could be a lot of espionage stuff working around that sort of thing.
Many, many, many years ago I had one NPC that was a rune and magic item collector. He was really a dragon in a human form... He even had some mystically bestowed purple gstring undies, lol.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Does your character have the Sniper skill. Do you have the JA-11 Juicer Assassin Laser Rifle with attachments to enhance your to strike bonus? How does your GM handle targeting specific body parts (like the dragon's head or even eyes)?
If your GM is ok with it, I would say shoot it's eyes out first to blind it, then head shot it, shooting it's eyes out as the regenerate.
