Ditch specializations, its more efficient to get with Karma. Take thosr 8bp, scrounge up 2bp from elsewhere, and boost Logic to 4 because you have lots of Logic skills.

I'd probably swap the cybereyes for goggles or facemask of some kind thar does the same thing.

He's got a cyber eye component that isn't on the list for goggles/glasses/contacts. The tool laser. Also, there's not a thing wrong with taking specializations in creation.

Well I want to keep the specizations. But I think dropping reaction by one and adding that point to logic would work. I have a pretty high reaction so I don't think it would complicate that too much.

Take a look at the Mercenary Rigger from my sig. The main thing is that you are trying to be a jumped in rigger, which is, in general, just not as good as command rigging (and much more pricey to pull off). You might find it helpful to cut 50 points from the Mercenary Rigger and then compare.

I dont mean to say there's so.ething inherently wrong with it, its just not BP/karma efficient, but sometimes concept is more important than math. Forgot the laser was implant only.

Actually no, with the autosofts I can point and click then the drones can engage on there own. The main problem I am running into is that with the lower bp I had to reduce me cash to build the character, so I had to limit the drones else I'd have two or three more medium drones.

Also on a side note I did look into that rigger, and found him lacking. W/ the lack of piloting skills, and the minor repair skills he does not work the way I'd want him to. Also his rig/deck is to specialize to hacking so I see him more as a decker who dabbles in rigging than a rigger.

a small point but perception is by sense like visual or audio for example not location
Whenever I am at a loss for I should do, I ask myself what would Michael Weston do?
