Why an elf? You don't have high agility or charisma.

Skills at 2 & 3 are not very karma efficient. Leave skills at 1 or get them at 4 (and get your most import skill ie. Gunnery at 6).

And get more armor. armor are your friend  ;)
SecureTech PPP on top of your form fitting body armor works fine.

I don't think you have many programs, but maybe you have what is needed. I'm not much of a hacker/rigger expert.

Maybe get Codeslinger as a possitvie quality.

Mainly went Elf to save points to put elsewhere on the Agi and Cha, that and for the Big Regret it would kinda need to be an Elf.  :D

From how I understand it, wouldn't the extra armor from the SecureTech PPP piecemeal stuff go into encumbrance--and put the character over the limit with the Body 3? (Plus it's capped on Gear BP spent).

As to the Gunnery skill at 6, well, wouldn't it be a bit much for a runner built off the base 400 BP to have a skill at the hardcap maximum?

 All this said, thank you for your comments, I do appreciate them :)

You don't save point on that. The 30 point you spend on elf can buy yuo the attributes. But yeah I like elf's to.

Form fitting body armor counts only as 3/1 for encumbrance. So there are room for more armor. And I think it is well worth spending money on armor. Armor keeps you allive and that is nice.

That depends on your table. Maybe gunnery 4 is enough. But if you are planning on getting it then it is much cheaper to buy it with BP. The same as getting skills at either 1 or 4.

As noted, elf is not helping you. You could be a human, keep your stats as they are, and save 10 points. You could also be an ork, keep your stats as they are, pay 5 points, and have +1 body. Or have less logic, since you don't need logic.

You have a case of average-stats-and-skills-itis, in that you have a ton of stuff but you aren't actually particularly good at anything, and the way you bought it (with lots of 2s and 3s) is highly inefficient for when you go to improve things with karma.

You should be aware that jumping in is a niche move as a rigger; you very often want to be using Remote Control for better dice pools. You should also look into Codeslinger (Control Device), optimizing your commlink for Command, using an Optimized command program.

Wear some PPP armor (say, everything but the helmet and vitals protector) and a leather jacket to get yourself proper armor. It costs a tiny amount of extra money and makes you much less likely to die.

Fake permits cannot be higher rating than fake sins.

Smartlink and Image Link are very questionable implants. You can just wear goggles for that.

All of your vehicles but the Doberman have weapon mounts modded on. Weapon mounts are F, even without a weapon in them, and they can't be concealed. This is a problem.

Take a look at the Mercenary Rigger in my sig for an example of a rigger; you might find some of the tricks useful.
