QUOTE (BBB @ p.110)
Defaulting

Defaulting allows a character to still make the test using only the linked attribute
in their dice pool, but with a dice pool modifier of –1.



QUOTE (BBB @ p.230)
Matrix Attacks

To attack another icon, make an Opposed Test. Hackers attack
using Cybercombat skill + attack program rating.


Compare the hacker adept with Aptitude(Hacking), Specialization (Exploit), Hacking 7, Improved Ability(Hacking) 3 and a Exploit program with rating 6. He could throw 18 dice for Hacking/Exploit, 16 dice for Hacking and possibly much less dice for Computer, Electronic Warfare, Cyber Combat.

Now assume a character with Logic 10. He can default to any Logic related skill with 9 dice. That would give him 15 dice for any test with a skill/program. If he can't use a program to assist him in skills like Hardware/Software he can use only 9 dice.

Cost for starting Logic 9:

Exceptional Attribute(Logic): 20
increases to Logic 7: 10+10+10+10+10+25=75
Cerebral Booster 2: 20000 :nuyen: = 4

Cost for hacker adept:

Adept: 5
Aptitude(Hacking): 10
Hacking 7: 32
Cyber Combat 4:16
Electronic Warfare 4: 16
Electronics Group 4 : 40
Specialization(Hacking): 2
