For record keeping purposes I'd add.Some sensor functions to those sensor suites on your drones and vehicles. Then I'd add some enhancements to the cameras on the combat drone; smartlink,low light, flare comp.
Then I'd suggest tweaking the mmg. It wants gas vents R3, electronic firing and either an Underbarrel weight or an Underbarrel grenade launcher/shotgun to taste. GL can be loaded with smoke/flashbacks etc and shotgun gives other ammo options(stick.N.shock or APDS slugs for example) or a fallback when the main belt runs dry. Airburst link is damn handy if you take the GL. It all fires off the Gunnery skill so don't worry about extra skills.

Also I'd mod your RCC with a sleaze rating. With stealth cyber prog and sneak, it'll help keep you off the radar. Virtual machine loaded with toolbox and encryption software is always handy too. Need separate cyberprograms for RCCs (can't use ones bought for deck) so a small extra cost but we'll worth it

When I get home, I'll look into those mods. As I recall, I had 6 karma left; I will need at least 2 karma to turn into a starter contact, so that should leave me with 8,000 nuyen for mods.

OK I have most of that in now, and have updated the original post. I have used up the full 200 points of karma to nuyen (well, 5 nuyen are left over). I had to drop a few odd items from the regular gear, but it's stuff I should be able to pick up fairly easily once the game starts. I actually had 12 points of karma left to spend, so I picked up a 2 point positive quality (for rigging related skills), I can't use that electronic firing, as it's in Hard Targets and thus will not be Missions legal until 30 days after the street release date of the hard copy.

After some reading, including an older thread that had a post on how to use a RCC to deck with, I have tweaked the character a bit to use a RCC to both Rig and Deck; this allowed me to pick up a bit more in the way of cyberware (namely antennae) to help with Noise, since Chicago has some issues with it. I had to pass on generic, shared autosofts for right now; those will be a priority purchase.
