So the general idea for this guy is that he's a sniper who uses his drones/another sniper rifle on a smart-firing platform to obfuscate his position/create confusion. Just curious if there's any glaring problems with this build, as I've never built a rigger before and they're kind of complicated.

Thanks in advance!

One thing I noticed is your comlink.  Having rating 6 in response, system and signal is to high at char gen.  5 is the limit unless you wan to use the restricted gear quality for EACH.

Oh, weird. I'm not doubting you, but you wouldn't happen to know where that rule is located do you?

It's due to their availability list on page 222 in SR4A.  They are given availability 16.

Ah, must've just been an issue with the availability in the chargen I was using because I was pretty vigilant about checking the ratings. Hmm.

Not the System. System and Firewall neither have any appreciable availability (at least until you hit rating 7 and up from War!). Rating 6 Signal...pointless in the majority of cases. There's no need to need THAT much range on your signal strength since you should be able to hack enough weaker links between you and your target node to 'leap frog'.

Edit- You wouldn't be able to use the full System amount without RG, but it could be there waiting until you could (if you really, REALLY want).

[Leticron]

Quick question, how many building points do you have?
Maybe I just missed it, but it would be nice to know - before commenting anything.

Standard 400 BP

[Henzington]

I would highly advice you spending 200 bp on attributes.  Also you dont have enough body to wear your armor without encumberance which means you will lose agility.

[rasmusnicolaj]

I Second the part about yuor attributes.
You could also optimize your skills some. 4 in the must have skills and 1 in the need to know skills.
Some Hacking skills would be nice as you need a good commlink for rigging you could fairly cheap become a fine hacker with a a few programs.
Cybereyes are expencive and cost essence. You could save on both and just use contacts. Datajacks are so 2050's 
If you wan't to be a good shooter you should consider getting an awesome cyberarm. They are fairly cheap and gives a huge boost.
I think some nice ware could be Encephalon, Math SPU, Attention Coporcessor, Neocortical Nanites, Pushed and Cerebral Boosters. You have a fair amount of logic linked skills and can boost those a lot and maybe get some more logic skills to become a wiz tech guy.
Do you need the athletics group at 4? I know you are a sniper and want to access high places, but I think you primary focus is rigging and shooting people with your drones.
The Ford drone is a good choice, but maybe only go for 1 or 2 to save BP and maybe get a few other drones for bigger versatility. You should have the money after start to get extra drones.
