I have seen these kind of builds before and the problem is that  you can't always stay in the van and rig drones.  Sooner or later you will have to do a run in the flesh (cold storage, faraday cage, the bad guys figure out where you are, you get jammed, etc).  Once you are actually in a physical confrontation, you die.  In one round.

At this point the people who put up these builds ususally have very elaborate plans about how they are going to never have to do that.  Bullpucky.  Sooner or later, you have to get out of the bloody van.  And you will die. 

You are a borderline bedridden cripple.  Who is living a step above the street, with a comlink with medium sized fortune in software on it and a bunch of expensive drones.  Not that I know where you put the drones in your squat, but it really has "victim" written all over it.  Unless you take the combat drones to stuffer shack with you when you get your meager grocerier for your squatter lifestyle you are a physical cripple in bad part of town.  See where I am going with this? 

I guess I am saying try again.  Dont mean to be blunt about it, but there are so many potential drawbacks to the character you have designed I am not sure that this guy would survive his day off, let alone the rough and tumble world of being a shadowrunner.

No offense, but latent technomancer is a disadvantage. You should actually pay points to not have it. When you emerge, you can no longer use your programs (because now those skills are linked to resonance) and you have 3 complex forms at rating 1 (and they are expensive to upgrade).

If your goal is to be a van hacker, then my suggestion is to start by being a technomancer. See my previous post for a start.

When you are a van hacker, your goal is to be in a rigger cocoon in a Wuxing Hussar. Add legs. Then you have an 18 hardened armor mecha that can climb stairs and kickass with a vehicle weapon.

That’s my starting advice.

By SR4a character creation you aren't able to min/max your stats like that, having 3 - 5s and a 7. Unable to quote but I think at best you can begin with a 6 and a pair of 4s? Or in your case then a 7 and pair of 4s. Something along those lines.

Without the ability to wear a bit of armor and be able to move while wearing it, this character is near death the moment he steps outside. Baronspam makes good points.

You can not spend more than 200 BP in physical + mental attributes. You are thinking of skills where you can only have 1 six or 2 fives.

Intuition is also bad for a hacker too, sell that down and go to 3 body

Thanks squee_nabob for the clarification. I certainly got my RAW mixed!

as per SR4A
[/size]A device’s ratings may only be upgraded by +2 with regards to their original ratings.
[/size]so buying the meta link com can't be upgraded to the levels you're trying
