With Data Trails, and Chrome Flesh out - what are some optimized Rigger builds ?  Is it possible to make a Rigger / Street Samurai to fill duel roles so you don't just sit in the van and command a horde of robots ?

Control Rig Optimization

Cerebellum Booster

Are the only two I've found that can enhance a Rigger.

A rigger/sam is basically a samurai with a rig, a car, and some drones. Right now a rigger is a supplementary role like a medic or an investigator, it is quite possible to be an [archetype]/rigger if you have enough money and a few skillpoints. You don't really need any extra rules to be a rigger because a minor investment is enough (and you don't have a lot of options, duh).

Rigger 5 is now hot off the digital presses. This should make this whole line of questioning much more interesting.

[ZeldaBravo]

Thank god it's out! Time to revive my rigger.

I, for one, am anxiously awaiting the new Riggers that should start getting threads over the next week. I would have loved to put a few archetypes in this go'round, but, not enough room. Alas, alas.

You know other companies throw out free web enhancements.
So a free download with like 6 Rigger/other role archetypes is not gonna kill the company.
And then people without books can see the various things listed (without no rules for them like the other archetype) and maybe get hyped enough to buy the book if they maybe weren't to do so.

Just trying to play around with a Hybrid Rigger / Street Samurai.  No gear has been bought.  Need to think of some more Rigger knowledge skills, and I'm still not happy with the skills.  I'll have to play around with them more.

Random rules question: 

I buy a Yamaha Kaburaya, and get it modded so I can rig it. 

How does that work ?  Would I be using my Reaction + Ground Craft (Remote Operation) , or Ground Craft + Logic (or Intuition) to pilot the bike ?

[Rooks]

Reaction

[falar]

Reaction

Check with your GM though for his interpretation. Although this is the most common ruling, there are some people who use Intuition. Most notably, /r/RunnerHub and one of the other Reddit communities like it.

My 2 nuyen:
You're in VR, the meatbody isn't applicable, so intuition.

Having had my say, if the GM says 'reaction', reaction it is.

[Rooks]

Well. its like do you roll agi when firing a gun remotely? or logic

[Rift_0f_Bladz]

In my game we house ruled that to be intuition, but that was before it was clarified here on the forums to be logic.
