I've been scouring the forums for advice on building a Hacker on the cheap, but I've not had a lot of luck. If folks could point me at some useful topics that'd be great. Otherwise...
I'm building a low-rent hacker. My foes will be other unsophisticated (I hope) low-rent or non-hackers. The constraints: - Skills and skill groups capped at 3 - One single solitary program at Rating 6 - All other programs limited to Rating 3 - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 10,000 (no more than (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 20,000, there's still cyber and other gear must-haves) With those limitations I have the following questions... - Should I spend the money on an R6 program? If so, what should that R6 program absolutely be? (related - is an R6 hacking program (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 4,500 or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 6,000? I've never been clear on that) - Skill Groups or Singletons with Specializations? - How troublesome would Negative Qualities like Scorched and Sensitive Neural Structure be to the low-rent Hacker? Are they to be totally avoided or are they worth it for the BP elsewhere? - This'll need to include the commlink. What should that be? - Other stuff? |
