I'm still learning SR4, and I'm coming to realize more and more how damn important your comm is in this version.
People have suggested that there are certain bare minimums any runner must have on their comm - anything from encrypt to attack to ECCM. So I'm asking the community at large for their ideas on the minimum survivable comm. Right now, my characters tend to pick something with S/R in the 4 range (more or less depending on cash), and then get one of the high end OS - Iris or above. It's looking like that's not nearly enough, though.... |
